"I’ve had this happen to me on because my house supplies wifi to both the neighboring houses so we all share an IP address but there is 3 separate WiFi’s signals and passwords for each house but under the same IP."
This comment makes absolutely zero sense to me. If it's three separate WiFi signals, it should be three different connections aka three different IPs?? I'm also not sure why they would be supplying WiFi to other houses around them unless they're all related and agreed to this setup.
Really bizarre if this it the truth but it makes it sound incredibly sketchy as a reason why they share IPs.
Also, at that point why not just get a VPN? They're not terribly expensive or difficult to set up, and FR has yet to get suspicious with me for setting my location to a different country practically every day. They're just good for being on the internet in general, but it does seem like it would more specifically solve the problem of a malicious neighbor using the same IP.
Right? They said it's been a reoccurring problem and a VPN would be super easy solution, tbh.
Also if they know it's because they have a weird neighbor that stalks and harasses them online, why aren't they blocking them? Like I'm not saying it's impossible for people to literally follow you around online to harass you, but they know that MF is this harasser.... So block and don't interact......
