FAQ
Q: What is an IP Address?
A: The IP Address you are locking to comes from your ISP. This is not an internal IP Address. Locks are best used in office environments so you can lock your employees to that office. Cell phones, if using a cellular connection, will have randomly assigned IP Addresses that will change. You can use an IP Lock with cell phones but they would be required to use Wi-Fi in order to use the IP address that you are locked to.
