What is real ip ?

[Adipic Acid]

My ISP is telling me that I have Real IP. What does Real IP mean ? How I will be benefited by that ? Asking those questions, they tell that yeah you will me benefited and we will give you a dedicated line. But no clear answer such you will get this or that. It is like a give more money and you will be in eternal peace.
So I want to know what benefits I will get using Real IP ?  And what is dedicated connection ? What extra I will get in dedicated connection ?

I read in some websites to check my port in utorrent application and use the port number in https://www.canyouseeme.org/ to see if my IP is real. I tried and that says : I could not see your service on *****(my ip) on port (****)(my port number from utorrent app). Does this works ?  https://www.canyouseeme.org/ says they check if port is open or closed. Does ports being closed or open have a relation with dedicated connection or Real IP ?
I am not a network nerd. So please explain if there is any term of networking  in your answer. Thanks in advance.

If you don't know what it is then you don't need it.  Most folks' IP address will change and so folks that need to have a static IP can buy one from their provider.  So that you don't know indicates you have no reason to know which indicates you don't need one.  

 

But someone hosting a site or server would want a static IP.

You basically have an IP for your internet connections.

It can be dynamic IP or Static IP (private IP).

Dynamic IP is not assigned to particular user, it changes from time to time.

Static IP is assigned permanently to your modem, it's not shared or changing.

I think what he means is Static IP.

With static IP you can have a dedicated IP, so you can just connect to that IP if you wanna connect home.

This can be also done with dynamic IP, but you need some sort of redirrection service (dns server) like duckdns or dyndns.

I wonder if this is a "paid upgrade" that the ISP offers to bypass CGN (Carrier Grade NAT)?

Now that would make sense to "offer" a consumer.  I can't see why (other than upselling) to offer a static IP to someone that didn't indicate that they needed it.  

 

Edit:

And after re-reading OP's post it seems like that is what they're doing.

Simple: Higher profits and consumer ignorance.

 

There are plenty of companies that will try and upsell you on a feature you have literally zero benefit from.

What they are problably referring to is you have a Public IP address assigned to your modem/gateway. Some people are not so lucky. Most US cellular providers do what's called carrier grade NAT. Where they share a public IP address with multiple customers. Public IP addresses are the only ones that can be routed over the internet. Private addresses would be use for Carrier grade NAT, OR used by your own router to do NAT. NAT basically allows you to share 1 internet IP will multiple machines. In your case your router/gateway would allow you to share your ISP's connection with all the machines in your home. 

 

The canyouseem.org is reporting open/closed ports. This is more for firewall usage. For example if you wanted to run lets say a Minecraft server, it would need to be assigned a port number and the people connecting to it would need your IP address. You would then forward the port in your router and your OS so that when the service is running the port is open so people can connect.
