User ID or complete system start over??
 

I have read the many steps on starting over to erase your link to Amazon. If I start a new user on my computer would that solve these issues.. or is a full system reinstall the best way to go?

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Full system or virtual.

You can create a new user account on your PC and you will be fine. However all the other steps need to be done, IP etc

For amazon?

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

yes for amazon

I have three amazon stealth accounts...one running on Raspberry Pi and two running on a VPS (virtual private server)...
frankly i find the VPS option much better because it guarantees me a new IP address and a new "computer" ...i only pay $5 a month for each VPS

VMware works like a charm

New user account should work well also instead of new computer - you on PC or Mac?

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Go over the browser fingerprinting step listed in stealth guide if you make a new user account. This can link you.

Download a new browser if you go with the new user account option. But personally a full system reinstall will be like having a new computer. You will only have to worry about the IP address then that is all

Im on MAC which seems to complicate anything. I ended up doing a complete start over and reinstalled Os X. Now Im tied up with phone verification. I really don't want to buy a tracfone.. lameness

Yea I read up on manually removing browsing fingerprinting and it was like another language lol. :smash: System reinstall it is!

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

@ jboone 733 that's why the stealth guide has a few options for each method. Some things work better for others

Thank you for the info. Just like to clarify, if you have an Apple computer that got banned account, all you have to do is create a new user, and change your IP address/VPS/VPN solution and create a new account? And if you wanted to run two new accounts on that Apple, all you have to do is created 2 new users on it and make sure the IP address is different on both?? No need for clean install of OS?

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

They can't link you with a different user account. Browser fingerprinting by its very nature would be different. From account to account. Not that, that matters as Amazon don't use browser finger printing.

If they did every year when a new iPad comes out and everyone logs into their Amazon account with exactly the same browser fingerprint they'd all get linked.

Plenty of people are simply using a different user on their pc without ever getting any trouble. Myself included.

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Yes that is all you'd need to do. I actually use my iPad quite often and all I do is reset all my safari settings every time I switch accounts. That and change the IP address and I'm fine.

i wouldnt recommend people do this though as it's easy to forget.

VMware workstation is by far one of the most convenient ways especially to manage multiple accounts

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Using iPad on different accounts is amazing, I had no idea you could do this. Does that mean that I can use my iPhone 6 plus that I used to use on my banned account for my new stealth account? What are the steps/apps I can use/cannot use on it? Can I still use the Amazon Seller app, the email app, and etc assuming that I did a reset on the phone? My understanding was that smart phones cannot be reused ever again, because of their MAC addresses and etc.

Thank you

VMWare vs 3 different user accounts on the same laptop, running 24vc.com static IP VPN on each user account? What is your opinion, which setup is better? Switching between user accounts on the laptop, do you have to manually change your IP, or does the VPN setup automatically change your IP to the right one when you log into your user account on your Mac laptop?

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Is the stealth guide updated one for browser fingerprints?

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Can have it setup so that whenever you login to the user account, the VPN window automatically appears to log you in

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Amazon can't see your MAC address.

The way iPads and iPhones work is you can only had one application open so that application is the only dats Amazon can access. That and you IP address. If you clear the settings from the web browser this will clear any cookies/flash cookies and once you have changed the IP you are a comletely different user.

Settings>safari>clear website and data

This works for iPhones and iPads using wifi. I'm not certain about links from about accessing Amazon through your cellular connection as it's not something I ever looked into.

Re: User ID or complete system start over??
 

Thank you so much for the info. Sounds like going on airplane mode via wifi with different IP would work fine with the same device. I am curious to see if someone understands the cellular connection issues, as I would suspect that even though you have different IP every time you connect, the built in modem will be having some sort of MAC address visible by Amazon and they would be able to link you pretty quick. That's just a guess though, wish someone knew more about that, hate to have to change two brand new $1,000 each iPhone 6 plus :(
