Haha wait until a bunch of these accounts are merged. I've seen it on here before ip addresses reveal all. Gaskins or somebody's post count going to go way up.
"ip addresses reveal all"? Not really or not all the time. Understand most all internet providers (Mediacom in Walton) IP addresses are not static/fixed but are dynamic/changes. Internet provider's IP addresses can be "sticky" but most IPs usually expire after a short period of time and new IPs are assigned, sometimes without you even knowing it. Medicom have huge numbers of dynamic 173.xxx.xxx.xxx IP addresses that are assign to its paid internet users periodically.
Blocks of IP addresses are assigned to geographic areas around the world, so you can guess where the IP assigned to your computer is located but not a specific person or computer. Just where the IP was assigned. Many sites like
IP Address Lookup - Find IP Address Location - WhatIsMyIP.com® will show the IP address and the location where the IP was assigned by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) in the sky.
All Medicom, and most internet providers, assign a new IP every time when the home internet modem reboots, like by unplugging the internet modem power, counting to 10 and plunging the power back in. You can see your "public" internet IP by Goggling "What's my IP".
Many internet users use secure private and commercial Virtual Private Networks (VPN) like
Private Internet Access | Anonymous VPN Service Provider. With a VPN your public IP address goes to an encrypted VPN server and is assigned it's own different VPN IP address. Commercial VPN servers are all over the US and the world. You could be in Sandestin connected to a secure VPN server in Canada and go to SoWal or
Resources – Florida Coastal Property Rights and the public IP that those servers would "see" would be an IP from Canada. Many PC from all over the US could use the same VPN but could look like the IPs were coming from the same VPN server location.
Remote PC software can be used to surf the internet from another PC located anywhere in the world too.
Internet browser Cookies can store information a Server can use too. If you do not want Cookies on your PC, most browsers have private no-cookie settings. Google Chrome is "Incognito"

If you have a home network-router and a internet provider modem (Mediacom), the public internet address is different than a non-public router network router IP (usually 192.168.xxx.xxx or 10.10.xxx.xxx) but the "public" IP is what internet servers, like SoWal will see. So "ip addresses [do not always] reveal all." - not always who the individual IP is assigned to if the public IP is reassigned periodically.
