A small office uses cloud-based applications that often drop connections. They suspect their dynamic address may be causing issues with accessing certain services. What is the reason a permanent wide-area network address would help in this situation?
A static WAN IP increases internet speed dramatically by allowing direct routing to your ISP.
A static WAN IP protects the network from all types of cyber-attacks by masking the actual IP address.
A static WAN IP eliminates the need for a firewall by ensuring a secure direct connection to the internet.
A static WAN IP provides a consistent address for setting up remote access and VPN services without frequent changes.
A static WAN IP address does not change, providing a consistent address for remote access, services, and security configurations. This consistency helps prevent connectivity issues that can arise if the IP address changes frequently. Dynamic IP addresses, which can change periodically, may cause interruptions in services or require frequent reconfigurations.
