Default Need advice on IP and how to keep organized

Hi guys,

I don't have many stealth accounts just yet, still planning ahead.
So I'm thinking about managing IP addresses & how to keep organized.

Since I have a dynamic IP address, I can generate new IP address simply by rebooting my router.

My way of doing things so far is to reboot my router between switching EB accounts, and to keep a log of every single IP address that I used before so that I don't reuse any IP address accidently.

My trick is to avoid using the same IP addresses all together, rather than associating an IP address with certain EB account - I just refrain from using it again.

To do this I keep a log of all the IP addresses that I've previously used.

Bottom line is, what do you think about this technique? Would you recommend me to change any aspect of it, and if so, why?

Thanks for your advice!

Sound perfect to me.

In the forum there are some threads about ip log and also an excel tool have been developed to do the job.
Have a look in here if you do not have it already:

@OP, your technique is correct for logging IPs and making sure of no overlapping

Great when you have a dynamic IP makes things a lot smoother. What I've noticed from a Dynamic Ip address is that the IP will never be the same as a previous one. There will always be a mismatch of 2-3 characters at the very most.

I started logging IPs and which account I used them on. Now I can't be bothered, I record the IP and if I used it before, I reconnect and get another.

The most times I had to reconnect due to repeated IP is three times. no big deal, I pull out my dongle, then stick it back in(hehe)

@sax4 depends on your Internet provider too. Some routers the IP changes quite dramatically and very low probability it will ever be the same.

However I think your right caution is always needed. I like your methods as just keeping a record of the blacklisted IP makes the job a lot less tedious.
