Netduma R3 Ip help!

[acecgc]

Hi all, 

I have just bought a netduma R3 router, as my virgin media router static ip has been leaked through PlayStation parties and call of duty. I’m aware that when I set my vm router into modem mode, it should get a new static ip and then I can connect the netduma router. My question is, do I now need to make sure I always play with a vpn active on the netduma? Or does it already have capabilities to filter/change it’s ip? I’m sorry if this isn’t right or it doesn’t really make sense, I’m not very knowledgeable with this type of stuff.  Any help is very appreciated. Thanks

A static IP doesn't change, if you rebooted the modem and you got a different IP it wouldn't be static, it would be dynamic which is what I believe VM uses. In which case you're good, the leaked IP can no longer be used against you.

The router doesn't change your IP, if you want to protect your IP address and have another then you'll have to use the VPN.

Hey Fraser, thanks for the response. I think virgin media routers are pretty static when just used as a router, but when you change it into modem mode for the first time, it uses a different ip based on what’s set by the router so I think that should be okay. In terms of VPNs, to make sure this new ip doesn’t get leaked, do you have any recommendations? Maybe even COD specific? Agains thanks for the help

Yes, that's good!

No specific recommendations, they will all do the same thing essentially.
