Windows 10

In Windows 10, residential IP addresses are usually used in home network environment, and they are assigned to home users by Internet service providers (ISP). The usage scenarios of residential IP address include but are not limited to:  Home network connection: The residential IP address is used for devices in the home, such as personal computers, smart phones, tablets, etc., so that they can access the Internet.  Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP): The residential IP address can be used for RDP, allowing users to remotely connect and control computers at home or other residential locations. This is often used in remote support, remote management and other remote work scenarios.  Network storage and media server: Residential IP addresses can be used for home media servers or network attached storage (NAS) devices, which usually use static IP addresses in the home network so that they can be easily accessed by other devices in the home.  Online games and entertainment: residential IP addresses are used for online games and streaming media services, such as Netflix and Hulu, etc. These services may have different content provision strategies for residential IP addresses.  VPN and proxy services: Residential IP addresses are sometimes combined with VPN or proxy services to enhance privacy protection, bypass geographical restrictions or conduct anonymous browsing.  Network security and privacy: residential IP addresses can be used to test network security settings, for example, by configuring static IP addresses to prevent IP conflicts or configuring firewall rules. In practical application, the use of residential IP address may be restricted by ISP policy and network configuration. For example, some ISPs may periodically change the IP addresses assigned to users, which may affect services that rely on static IP addresses. In addition, residential IP addresses may not be as stable as data center IP addresses because they may be affected by home network conditions.  For applications requiring static IP addresses, Windows 10 provides the option of setting static IP addresses, and users can manually configure IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways and DNS servers through network settings. This can be done through the Windows Setup application or the command prompt. For example, you can use the netsh command to configure a static TCP/IP address, or you can specify an IP address and DNS server by setting up an application. Generally speaking, residential IP addresses are widely used in Windows 10, from daily home network use to specific network configuration requirements, they are all important components of connection and communication.
