Does Amazon sniff VPN DNS leaks?
 

Recently got a VPN with 24VC using a bridged Windows 7 VMWARE setup using SoftEther VPN. Im being extremely proactive disabling all potential fingerprinting such as WebRTC by following the steps here: https://www.privacytools.io/

I set up a rule in Windows firewall to block DOMAIN and HOME traffic for Firefox and kept PUBLIC open. When not connected to the VPN the Network Sharing Center shows my local area connection as HOME so the firewall blocks this traffic in Firefox; When I connect to the VPN the VPN connection shows in the Network Sharing Center as PUBLIC and the local area connection shows as [UNIDENTIFIED NETWORK] and PUBLIC but greyed out so you cant change the connection type. I believe the local area connection must always be active because im using VMWARE so I have to rely on my computers LAN. Correct me if I am wrong or if theres a better solution to this.

I ran some DNS leak tests and it appears my local ISP leaks, so it shows my local ISP DNS as well as my 24VC's DNS.

Does Amazon track DNS information for account linkage?
What other programs / services / methods do you use to secure your VPN?

From my experience: no. I have also tested 24vc with dns leak tests and it always leaks, my amz accounts have never been closed because of that leakage. never.

However who knows what the future brings.

I tested as well and saw the same result. I installed VPN Checker Pro and ticked on DNS leak and this seems to resolve the issue.

Second question:

Stealth book states you should have your stealth address within ~100 miles of your IP location, what happens if the address is 1000km (same country) away? 24VC Canadian VPN's are located in Montreal.

Third question:

Would uploading ASIN's with zero inventory quantity to my stealth account work to dilute ASIN's in my inventory that are linked to a suspended account and have salable quantities?

Would a 4:1 ratio work if I intend to upload (over time) 2000 textbook ASIN's? I would then have 8000 ASIN's all with zero in quantity and 2000 textbook ASIN's with positive inventory.

That would look sort of fishy, no? :bird:
