[GEEK] Hiding Identity On The Inner Webs
 

See a lot of adverts on YT about a British VPN.
So; if I use Duck Duck Go and this British VPN in combo...does that mean Y2K, the other VB mods will not know who I am if I make another VB ID?

Is it enough to hide my IP?

Yes, but admin, mods and the rest of us will figure you out in short order.

There are other tools and methods.


:seasix:

Is it enough to hide my IP address so the admins and mods will NOT know who I am by using my IP address?

Why not try it? But call yourself "Cars and Guitars" or something so we'll know it is you.

The old guy calls me "Banjo's and Buicks".
I like it. :funnier: :funnier:

Why don't you ask the last POS who tried it?

There are others who have tried and failed. One persistent asshole tries several times per year. Unsuccessfully.

Like I said, there are other methods. I won't go into any more details because I don't want to help someone evade identification while returning as a troll.

:rolleyes:

it appears that "Purty Mouth" is available... :D :leaving:

Where did you get kicked out of now?

Being kicked out is profoundly American. We are pretty much a country of people who at some point were kicked out of somewhere else.:yesnod::yawn:

or said "screw you, we're leaving"

Yeah. I'm still investigating why my family left Bavaria in 1852. There was some religious persecution going on there at that time, so it could be that. They could have been in some kind of legal trouble or owed someone a lot of money. They also could have came here for opportunity. But the first one was a Brewmeister. Why would he leave Bavaria and come to a city run by Methodists and Catholics that outlawed selling beer on Sunday?:shots::leaving::rofl::cert:

so he could sell the rest of the week, double up on saturday, and have a day off too. :dance:

Actually they eventually came up with a pretty good scam to take advantage of the situation. Sunday alcohol sales were prohibited in the city of Baltimore. By the 1880s my family owned a very large brewery and beer garden. (80,000 barrels a year) They located the place right across the street form the Baltimore city border. So, the routine for many major churches in the area (mostly Catholics, who have no problem with drinking) was on Sunday, you go to the church, then cross the avenue and go drink some beer. Brilliant!:cert:

Talk with the Israeli’s. That’s who the FBI went to when Tim Cook said FU to a password.

Even then, there’s built in backdoors, heh, he said backdoors, with plenty of software and hardware.

Solution, smoke signals or buy your kink porn through three layers of strawmen.

Your welcome :seasix:

The best trolling I've seen yet today. :cert:

No trolling...was a serious Q that I still don't have a legit answer for.

I'm not kicked out of anywhere, and it's not about CF or VB...I just used VB as the example as what I was asking.

Hoping @Y2Kvert4me ; or someone with moderate intelligence will answer or at least PM. :island14:

:funnier:



Serious---hoping the best for you and the Mrs., get well soon buddy. :cert:

Thanks.

You ain't seen nothin' yet. Wait until I post from the hospital under the influence of good drugs. :rasta:

Just take your phone into the shitter, you may be there awhile.

Wipe it town?
Oh...forgot you're in Okrahomo. :island14:

Gee, thanks. :thumbsup:


:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I got surgery tmrw at noon, check in at 11am......and I got a repeat note from pharmacy and some more useless Hydrocodone that did nothing for me in the past, ate it like candy, and zero effect....not even a buzz.....damnit.....

I supposed to be out after a few hours after I get over the tuff stuff.....

oh well.......best of luck to you.....:seasix:

A VPN like SurfShark will route all of your traffic through their server, completely masking your actual connection details. The downside is a lot of sites will start throwing CRAPTCHAs at you because they are seeing so much traffic from the VPN server and they can't tell it's multiple people so they assume you are a bot. There is also a performance penalty, although for normal web surfing it won't be too noticeable. But if your goal is to torrent multi-gigabyte files you'll be disappointed. :D

If you do decide to sign up shop carefully for the right promo code. Prices can range from > $12 per month to < $2.

McAffee offers a free VPN with their subscription which I get for free.

:D

Good luck, hope it goes well for you. :seasix:

I'll be at MD Anderson in downtown JAX. Where are you having your surgery?

Maybe you and Gene will be roommates. :seasix::seasix:

You can meet up with DJ.

Thanks Frek. :cert:
That is the VPN in question.

.

Shit works like this:

When you join. post, visit this site, yeah I do see an IP address. If you're on a typical landline ISP, I can usually approximate your (city) location from it.
If you're on a cellphone, I can see that and will know your mobile provider, however I won't be able to determine your location, and that IP# will probably match everyone else here that uses that same mobile carrier.
If you use a VPN, I can tell that too, but again, any location data is irrelevant, as I understand you could be anywhere in the world.

Point being, an IP address can sometimes be very useful information to me...But just as often, it is meaningless. Takes me but a second or two to determine which applies.

So if using a VPN, no I won't be privy to your actual (ISP) IP address. and for the purpose of hiding, you might actually achieve incognito success IF you manage to only visit here while connected to that VPN 100% of the time.
But understand 99.9% is the failing mark in this particular test. If you pop in here just once after forgetting to connect to that VPN, well then I will have your "real" IP logged, and all your efforts to obfuscate it accomplished exactly nothing.


:cert:

Exactly what I was asking about and wanted to know.
Thank you very much. :cert:

It should be noted that most residential ISPs do not give you a fixed IP address - they charge you extra to have one. While it often stays stable for many weeks or months, it can and does change without notice. One quick and easy way to convince your ISP to assign you a new IP address is to program a new MAC address into your gateway's Ethernet interface and then reset your cable modem. ;)
