Wait, no one mentioned banning trolls yet?
If you run a forum or game server, IP bans are a classic way to keep troublemakers out. Not foolproof (they can change IPs), but it’s a start.
Also, some smart home devices use IPs to talk to each other. So yeah, what can you do with an ip address? Even your fridge might need one someday lol.
