Dynamic vs Static IP..
 

Just running through the stealth guide 3.0 that I had years ago.

Changing the IP address now, MANNN what a blag, been on the phone to my ISP 2 times and finally found out they said I have a dynamic IP and it changes every 5 days or so and it recently changed, am I safe in thinking that I don't have to worry about my IP now?

I tried to change my IP which I believe was internal starting with 192. but could not change the what I belive was external starting with 82.

Can someone please help on this?

Better use VPNs, easier for noobs.

Hi, thanks for reply.

Few questions.

Don't VPNs alert ebay when being used?

Are there any free VPN services?

I plan to use my broadband for all ebay as it's easier and I'm paying for it.

I have read the stealth guide but this is as much as I know..

Any advice would be great, have all things in place i think to get going.

Please let me know on the above,

I was told by my ISP that my dynamic IP is changed every 5 days and it freshly changed today (though I was logged into old ebay this morning).

My understanding of VPN is that they cost money and are quite messy?

I don't see why I would need one if I have a dynamic IP?

Have you tried unplugging your router? From my experience with dynamic IP addressing, this would always give me a new IP address. I'm not an expert on this, I hope this helps.

For anybody within the USA needing an ISP provider, centurylink works great!

If your 'dynamic' i.p changes every 5 days, then that is really no advantage over a 'static' one. By that I mean you still would only be able to operate 1 account on it.

Look into what dynamic dongles are available for you. In the UK at least that is by far the best and most economical answer for many.
