Fixed IP address

[Sinbad]

vi is the best programming tool ever.

If you don't speak vi, you're an eternal noob.

For having an IP address that doesn't change.
Useful if there's firewall stuff involved.

I still think I'll need one down the line though I want to delve deeper into pfsense and squid proxy.

Can I do that without a static IP as well?

You can do anything you can do with a static ip without a static ip. In some cases it becomes a little more difficult to do stuff without static ip's but not impossible. For what you want to do, you really don't need a static ip at all.
