How to connect and configure a static IP address Rostelecom

Many users of the global network do not know what an IP address is or are familiar with the general formulations. In fact, this is a digital identifier; every device connecting to the local network has it. Rostelecom subscribers receive an IP address the moment they connect to the operator’s servers, only after which they can access the Internet. In some cases, subscribers require a static Rostelecom IP address, which provides access to certain services.

Types of IP addresses

Now there are 2 types of addresses:

• Static.
• Dynamic.

As the name suggests, static is one that remains unchanged. That is, when connecting to the Internet, the user will have a permanent IP that will not change. Dynamic, in turn, will change with each new connection to the network. The choice of a specific type depends on the subscriber’s preferences.

When using a Wi-Fi router, the IP changes automatically on each connected device.

Since recently almost all RTK subscribers use a Wi-Fi wireless network, the IP address changes with each new connection. In this regard, you have to re-enter registration data on the sites where the client usually sits. To avoid this, it is recommended to connect to the static IP address service from Rostelecom. Next, let's try to understand the features of this type of connection.

Settings

It's worth talking a little about setup, as it's equally important information. In principle, there is no setting itself; to activate the option, you need to send an application using the method described above. In the morning you can safely check the connection - the address will become permanent.

It is worth paying attention: the account balance must be positive in order for the system to be able to write off money for one day of use. The average price per day is 5 rubles.

This is all the information about the features of using types of virtual addresses, the main thing is to understand them so that questions and current problems do not arise later.

Advantages and Disadvantages of a Static IP Address

The permanent address will not change with each new connection. On the one hand, this seems like a significant advantage. And indeed, a static IP has a large number of advantages. But there are also quite a few disadvantages.

Advantages:

• Stability. With a static IP, the connection will not be interrupted.
• Dedicated hosting. This is very convenient for working with VPN.
• Creating a preferred IP, which is useful for those who use a computer as a server.
• There is no need for constant authorization on sites.
• The IP is not reset, so the Internet works a little faster.

Flaws:

• Low level of security. Static is more susceptible to hacker attacks.
• You have to set up a permanent IP manually, which is not very convenient.
• It is assumed that dynamic IPs will be in demand in the future.

Thus, static IP technology can be called ambiguous. However, often users need a permanent address.

In what situations is a permanent address required?

To understand who should be advised to use a static IP, we can give one simple example. Let’s say a person is developing a website from his home. With a permanent IP, he will not have to worry about the constant need for authorization.

A static IP is also useful if you want all requests from home network devices to be sent to your computer. Additionally, IP addresses are closely related to DNS servers. If the IP changes frequently, you will have to manually reconfigure the DNS. And this is also not very convenient.

How much does the service cost?

Providing a dedicated address from Rostelecom is not free. The subscriber must make a monthly payment, the amount of which differs depending on the number of unique IPs provided. One is enough for the average user. But those who are actively involved in development may find several similar IPs useful. As a rule, these are representatives of large IT companies. The cost of services can be found in the table below.

The exact cost of services for your region can be found on the website rt.ru.

The indicated cost is added to the amount of the subscription payment in accordance with the current tariff plan. The service is not included in the basic package on any TP.

How to connect a static IP address to Rostelecom

The service providing permanent IP is very popular among Rostelecom clients. For those who have not yet configured a static IP, you can enable the option in one of several ways. The process will differ significantly depending on whether the client is a legal entity or an individual. First, let's consider the option of activating the service for corporate clients.

In any case, the owner of a private business will have to contact the Rostelecom office. You won’t be able to connect several unique IP addresses for computers in your office without concluding a special type of agreement. You can find out more by calling 8-800-707-12-12. Next, you should go to the office with the necessary package of documents.

For individuals, there are more ways to activate the service:

• In the client office.
• In your personal account on the website.
• Via a mobile application.

It is not always possible to connect a static IP through the office. In some localities there is simply no Rostelecom branch. Therefore, it will be most convenient to use the website or mobile application. The activation process will be similar in both cases:

1. Open a website or mobile application.
2. Log in to the system using your login.
3. Go to the “Services” section.
4. Select "Fixed IP".
5. Click the “Connect” button.

Once the service is activated, the fixed fee will not be charged immediately. It will be added to the standing monthly payment that applies to the subscriber's tariff.

When activating the service for 180 rubles, only one device will receive a static IP. Its choice depends on which of them the service was connected from.

Firmware for Rostelecom router to the latest version

The procedure should be performed only when pairing a PC and a Rostelecom router via cable. The sequence of actions is as follows:

• Download the file with the latest firmware version from the manufacturer’s official website (on some models this is not necessary, the file will be downloaded and installed during the update through the admin panel interface).
• Let's go to router management.
• We are looking for the system tools tab or something similar.
• Go to the software update subsection.
• On the page that opens, you will be asked to specify the previously downloaded file, select it and click the “Update” button.

The system will install the downloaded file, reboot, after which the Rostelecom device will operate under the latest firmware version.

How to find out your address

Regardless of whether a person uses a static or dynamic IP, the question remains interesting: “How to determine your address?” This is very easy to do. Now the Yandex search engine automatically displays the IP when asked “Determine my IP address” and the like.

If the search engine does not show the necessary information, you can use the standard detection method for Windows:

1. Open "Control Panel".
2. Select "Network and Internet".
3. Click on “Network and Sharing Center”.
4. Click on “Change adapter settings”.
5. In the window that opens, select the connection type to use.
6. Click on “Details”.

Opposite the IPv4 column the internal IP address will be indicated. A public IP can only be found using specialized Internet services. In addition to Yandex, these are the sites:

• 2ip.ru.
• myip.ru.
• u.smart-ip.net.
• ipgeobase.ru and others.

The process of determining the address is carried out automatically immediately after the user navigates to the specified site.

Characteristics

How can you find out your address on the Internet? What IP did Rostelecom assign to your computer - permanent or changeable?

If you use a router to access the Internet, then most likely the IP will be constant. You can see this for yourself.

1. You need to click on “Network Center” in the control panel, and then go to the “Change adapter settings” section.
2. Select your internet connection type, it is usually shown as Enternet.
3. From the context menu, go to the status tab. And from this position you can find out the address by clicking the details tab.
4. In the IPv4 line you will see the necessary information, but it will only indicate the router address. But if you need specifics, you should use third-party software. For these purposes, you can use Yandex technology - just enter ip in the search bar, and after pressing the Enter button you will see the information you are looking for about the computer address on the network, remember it.

Dynamic

Now we find out whether it is permanent or changeable - disconnect from the Internet, reboot your computer. And do the same again - the last numbers may be different if you have a dynamic IP. This can be useful in a variety of cases, for example, when the administrator of a particular site has blocked your access to that site, but the next day the address changes and you can visit that site again. It turns out that such a changeable address will be more difficult to find on a computer network.

Static

This approach will always allow you to find a specific user on the Internet. And this, in turn, will allow you to create your own virtual channel in the network, which you can protect or build your own network on its basis to solve many information purposes. This connection is provided through closed Rostelecom servers, and it is from them that access to the World Wide Web will be organized.

How to refuse the service

It was previously noted that a permanent IP is not always useful. In some cases, clients are forced to refuse the relevant service. This can be done through your personal account on the website or in the mobile application in a few steps:

1. Log in.
2. Open the “Services” section.
3. Opposite the “Fixed IP” item, click on “Disable”.

After completing these steps, the service will be disconnected. The address will begin to change automatically after each new connection to the Internet.

Which server to choose

In case of unsatisfactory performance or due to insufficient DNS capabilities from Rostelecom, the user can independently test different servers in order to identify the most effective one in specific conditions. For diagnostics, you can use specialized programs such as DNS Benchmark. This program is free, the only recommendation is to download and install the utility exclusively from the developer’s official website.

After launching the utility, the user is prompted to add addresses that need to be tested. It is better to use IP from the largest companies for diagnostics:

1. Rostelecom servers – “48.193.36”, “213.158.0.6”.
2. Google servers, which are considered by many experts and developers to be the best for most regions of the world - “8.4.4”, “8.8.8.8”.
3. Yandex servers, which are considered slightly less efficient, but for Russia they are the most effective - “88.8.8”, “77.88.8.1”.

The utility will automatically run diagnostics using each DNS. Connection speed, quality, ping, number of packet losses, and so on are tested. At the end of the diagnostics, the program will provide the user with information about the most effective address for use on an ongoing basis. Next, the user manually configures the network adapter parameters, entering in the appropriate fields those addresses that have become testing leaders.
