What is my IP ?!

[Rambo3]

I was testing a proxy.
I check IP burger right before login to make sure that all is good.

Today.. I decided to just type "what is my ip" on google..
and was stunned to find out that it showed my public ip address
Despite the fact that my proxy was on!


Then.. i went on IPBurger.. and a bunch of other clients.. and it picked up my proxy.

HOW CAN GOOGLE SEE THAT
Does ebay do the same?!?

Why are you using a Proxy? Most have been banned.

tried IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup

Cannot use a proxy for eBay.

Can someone explain to me what the different between Mac IP and the IP on Iburger.

Im trying to change the IP address but when i go to IPBurger..it show me the address number completly different than the one when i typed in the command prompt.i did everything in the Stealth Book to change my IP address but it wont change on the IPBurger BUT the MAC IP i can change without any problem

..Am I good to start making ebay account with changing the MAC address on my computer?

My internet provider is Cox cable

Thanks

Change your mac address and then go to google and simply type "ip".. you should see it there! Make sure it has changed so do a couple tests to make sure. I use my iPhone for my I.P so it changes all the time. Right down your I.P'S for each account and ALWAYS check your IP before logging in. I myself didn't want to as its annoying to always check in the beginning but once your say 3-4 months in you couldn't imagine not checking your IP.

The more you get into stealth and the longer your accounts age, its the simple things that make stealth so important I.E ip address

MAC IP: This is a unique IP associated with your Computer hardware, this is not viewable on the Internet.

The IP you see on ipburger.com is called a "Public IP", as you can guess....This IP IS viewable on the Internet.

IF you can change the MAC IP, it SHOULD but not guarantee that your Public IP will change. If you can successfully get a New Public IP then you can begin to make stealth accounts.

Also please be aware that in some cases, changing your MAC IP may not result in a new Public IP....in the end, your Internet Provider will decide if you get a new IP.

If your the name is on your internet bill just call them up and ask to change your ip from static to dynamic.

Sounds like you have a Static IP

[solefoodbk]

There are other ways to get internet access for stealths ..I.E using a smart phone as a hotspot.

Google gets your IP address from the DNS server that returns the replies. If you want to be sure that your proxy is working, try nslookup of google.com:

C:\Users\.....\username>nslookup google.com
You will get something like:
Server: abc.def.com
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
.....

The abc.def.com, is what returns your IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to google. If abc.def.com is from your local ISP, then the proxy is not working.

I hope this makes sense.

If it is a sticky dynamic IP, takes a long time to change.

Proxys vpns or hide my ip software are bad to use for ebay its better to just get a usb dongle or a mifi and than use ipburger or have a excel spreed sheet to keep track of your ip addreses

MAC address does not need to be changed if it's too complex.

You can consider dongles or tethering as well.

Proxies are usually very high risk dont use them, dongle, teethering are a good option. VPN & VPS work also but you have to find the right company and get dedicated ips not static.

Solid advice - along with cellphone tethering use as an option...or dial-up ()
