Creating account using phone hotspot?
 

After creating a new user account, is it fine to connect with my home wifi to download firefox,google, etc and after completing my downloads I switch over to my phone hotspot for creating/logging in to ebay/paypal.

What I'm basically asking is it fine to explore the web using my home wifi and when I want to login I switch over to my hotspot and obviously make sure the ip has changed, will there be any linkage/trouble using my home wifi for downloading and searching the web? So when I want to create or login to a ebay/paypal stealth account I disconnect from my home wifi and connect to my hotspot before logging in.

I am asking this because it would be faster to download apps using my home wifi instead of my phone data. I think this is fine but just want to double check. Thanks

Yes, it is fine to use your home wifi in downloading those apps. But make sure you turn it off when you starting browsing any related to eBay and PayPal as they can see your browsing history/cookies.

Sounds right Gill789.

What "apps" are you speaking off? Non-eb/pp related?

Re: Creating account using phone hotspot?
 

Yes I'm talking about non-eb/pp related sites/app. So whenever I go on my stealth accounts I switch over to my hotspot to login.

Also, I thought ebay/paypal logins in your ip whenever logging in, does it login in your ip even if you are just browsing without login in?

Yep they do.

advice: don't use phone to use ebay

Just make sure to turn on airplane mode and turn it off before you go to create another account

Mobile phone hotspot is definitely the way to go especially with eBay, from my experience any VPN is not safe on there. Just make sure when you finish on a session with eBay and PayPal you disconnect. When you switch on again you will get a new IP address

I made and currently running over 18 accounts using my mobile hotspot.
No promblems yet.

Yup I have successfully been using mobile hot spots for years and you do not get the security challenges which you get when using V P N 's which happened all the time on the one recommended here and it gets boring moving a jigsaw puzzle piece everytime you want to do something. The only other successful way is to get a permanent residential I P address, although it is getting increasingly hard to find a vendor to sell just one.

Re: Creating account using phone hotspot?
 

True. I stopped using V P N when paypal have actually told me to stop using it as they can actually see these 'FRESH IP' V P Ns. So it's total rip-off. I am now at peace with using a Static Residential IP Address. When I need a new static IP, i just request it from the provider. Also, 4G Mobile Proxies have better speeds compared to the residential IPs, so that's also a better option.

Also, if you are managing a lot of stealth accounts, would be best if you get a 3G connection.
It has a larger IP Pool Available compared to the 4G.

When you say you just request it from the provider, who are you using that is working for you? Or do you mean from your internet service provider?
