When you're connected to a network, your computer or smart device will obtain an IP address either from your ISP or your router. There are 2 ways how you can assign an IP address to your device: (1) dynamically via DHCP or (2) statically by manually assigning an IP address yourself. In either case, you must use the IP address that is provided to you by your ISP, or the IP range you allocated yourself within your private space (i.e. private IP address).

Bounce rate is a metric used to measure the percentage of visitors leaving your website after only 1-page view and nothing on the website. If a visitor lands on a web page and bounces back with no additional engagement after viewing the landing page, you have a bounce rate of 100% for that visit. By improving the quality of your website, you can lower your bounce rate and increase pages per session.

Most of us use our Google Homes, smartwatches, security cameras, and other handy gadgets on a daily basis. The Internet has undoubtedly made our lives ten times easier than before. However, the thing that makes these devices so convenient and easy to use is the same thing that makes them most vulnerable to malicious cyberattacks.

A reverse proxy is a server that sits in front of the webserver, intercepts the request, and either respond to the client with a response from its cache or forward the request to the origin server. A reverse proxy is used to protect the web servers from DDoS attacks, distribute load amongst multiple servers, and utilize its cache to serve static contents without sending requests to the origin server. No client will communicate directly with the server, and the server's IP address will not be revealed to the public.

5G is the 5th generation wireless technology used in cellular networks. Wireless Technology evolved from analog 1G to digital 2G, 3G, 4G, 4G LTE, and the new 5G to deliver faster, reliable, and low-latency data over the cellular network. In April 2019, 5G technology was first deployed in South Korea, and shortly after the United States and China followed. 5G technology "theoretically" delivers 100 times faster than 4G up to 10 Gbps, but the reality is not quite there yet. Considering 4G was introduced in 2010 and LTE in 2013 and took nearly a decade to be where we are today, 5G will take as many years to deliver the speed it deserves and the coverage everyone is anticipating. With YouTube, Netflix and other on-demand videos including video calls being transmitted over mobile networks, 5G will deliver the performance needed by those high-demand network services.

A port is a number assigned to an application to communicate between the server and client. In the TCP/IP network, applications use one or more ports to communicate with a client. A port number is a 16-bit unsigned number ranging from 0 to 65,535. The first 1K ports (0 through 1023) are usually called well-known ports that are assigned to system applications, the next range from 1024 through 49,151 are allocated for user registered ports, and the final range 19,152 through 65,535 are used for private or ephemeral purposes. The transport protocol that uses ports are (1) TCP and (2) UDP.

To be online, each and every computing device must have an IP Address to communicate with other devices over the Internet.
