Receiving HTTP request from single email but varying IP addresses?

55 Views Asked by At

I have a server, and I was monitoring the incoming requests. There is a particular email, from which I'm getting multiple requests, but the IP address keeps changing little by little every few days. Example -

Request 1 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.56)
Request 2 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.56)
(after few days...)
Request 3 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.57)
Request 4 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.57)
(after few days...)
Request 5 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.58)
Request 6 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.58)
Request 7 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.58)
(after few days...)
Request 8 -> (Email1, X.Y.Z.59)

How is the user able to change his public IP address so often? The requests are from the same email.

Got some help from my colleague. This is very interesting. Here is the complete discussion - Quora Link

It all depends on the ISP. It often allocates IP addresses dynamically, based on availability.
