📌 In this episode:
✅ What caching actually is — and why it matters
✅ Different types: browser, server, CDN, ISP
✅ Why outdated cache can break sites and confuse users
✅ When caching improves speed and when it makes things worse
🛡️ Why “more caching” isn’t always better — and how to reset everything
🔗 Tip: Use a VPN to test for ISP caching if you suspect a stuck version

✅ What IP addresses do and how they route your data
✅ IPv4 vs IPv6 — and why we’re running out of the old ones
✅ The real difference between public and private IPs
✅ Dynamic vs static IPs — and why it matters for whitelisting
🛡️ How IPs affect blocking, access, and network security
