urgent IP issue, advice needed !

[jane]

i made a foolish mistake.
i was on amazon, i got a call and stayed on the phone for about 15mins.
when i finished my phone, i suddenly discovered that my pc went to sleep model, so i woke it up and found that VPN dropped already (amazon page was still on), i didn't click anything, just shut all pages off, ( the worst thing i was worried about is that when i woke up my pc, amazon can detect my real ip address, because my VPN has already dropped).
the only good thing is that i didn't click anything, simply shut all pages off.

please anybody can gice a idea if my real ip leaked already ?

thanks a million for experenced IT specialist.

The same thing happen to me, Lets see what advise we can get.

you use a fixed ip VPN or does the ip of the VPN change always when you use it?

[Gamefreak]

if its a one time thing you will be fine, just don't let it happen again. Ive had this happen to be before and never had any issues with the account

Probably nothing has happened , but try to to make the same mistake again.

[jane]

it's a static VPN.
and my real ip address connected to a deleted account.

[jane]

and more. my VPN ip address belong to different country, that's mean once amazon detect it, account will go down.

Well, pretty much you have to click on a new page or have a refresh for an IP capture.
Maybe waking up your pc did not do this.
Odds are that you are fine

I have switched over to a different IP from a banned account with my Amazon page loaded, but I never click on anything till I change over I think it records your IP at login and it may check your IP after when you are clicking on new pages I don't think it checks when you are idle though Network guys could answer whether this is possible

[jane]

i was told by a professional, he claimed: there is quiet possible that amazon get your ip even you didn't click anything when you wake up your pc. this is for sure because he wrote this kind of procedure before for other company.
he is not sure if amazon will use this kind of technology.
i use a software now, once VPN drop, all pages down.

If your PC is idle nothing is being sent or received from amazon.

However I have said in previous posts I believe your IP is only logged when you log in your account for security. Amazon will keep and use the data while you are browsing but why would they log billion of IP's from sellers and buyers once you are logged in. The data is of no use.

I had one account that I would use dial up, login and then connect to my home network with a banned IP. It was never linked so I believe you are correct

[jane]

as promised, i update now.
Micky is right, seems amazon don't catch ip when pc is idle.
