Ask HN: How does Starlink work for IP address/ASN internationally?
Starlink says on their FAQ page[1] for the roaming model that if you roam too far, your connection will be briefly interrupted while they assign you a new IP address.<p>I think that&#x27;s because they want every user to have a reasonable experience with all the websites out there that do geoIP lookups.   It also gives them flexibility in the future to not act as a worldwide internet backbone for their own users traffic by advertising each set of local IP&#x27;s only at local POP&#x27;s.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;starlink-enterprise-guide.readme.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;dhcp-configuration#:~:text=If you have a mobile Starlink the IP address may change if you move locations. These changes will cause a brief DHCP handoff outage" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;starlink-enterprise-guide.readme.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;dhcp-config...</a>.
