IP addresses
 

Hi, I've been experimenting with changing my MAC address to acquire new IP addresses. When I go to geobytes to check their location, I get results for states like Texas and Missouri. I live in Arizona. According to the Stealth Guide, I need an IP address within 100 miles of my physical address. How can I make this happen?

Re: IP addresses
 

It is not mandatory.

The most important thing is that you are getting a different IP, location is not an issue.

Thank you for replying. I've spent the past several days reading the forums, and the book, and there is conflicting info on a few topics. I could make other threads, but it might be better to speak with someone in PM.

If you need infos on accounts to buy and how to manage that, yes then get in touch with approved sellers in the marketplace area.

If yours are just general questions on how to manage stealth then open a new thread in the forum and see the different opinions and point of views.

Forum discussions is really helpful.

You will immediately spot who is answering with knowledge and who is asnwering just to increase his "posts counter" ;)

As lcarletto mentioned only country is important, state dont need to match, geo tracking isnt super accurate to begin with

can use a NY ip for a LA account if you wish etc

Thanks, it looks like the book may need some updating, as this one one of my main sticking points :d

how do u change your ip by changing your mac address and is that more easily done than ip finding on dongles etc...

I use a router and connect wirelessly to my desktop, I go to the routers website 192.168.#.#. those last numbers depend on the brand of router, there is an option to change mac addresses' last two numbers, the router reboots and I have a new IP address.

Re: IP addresses
 

That's exactly the way I change mine. In my case I can change any of the 12 numbers, within a certain range. Well, there are some letters mixed in also.

When I tether through my cell I just turn off the mobile hotspot and turn it back on, it generates a new IP address.

In the case of the cell tether, it shows location as being anywhere from Fl to NY to CA. The router always shows as being local.

Re: IP addresses
 

I can change any of the numbers? The stealth guide mentions changing the last 2 only. If I can create a mostly static IP address with keeping the same MAC address for each individual account though It shouldn't matter much.

Re: IP addresses
 

As long as you get a fresh IP doesn't matter, change any, change all, just be sure you track the IP and don't reuse it.

I use an excel spreadsheet, if you use CTRLF you can input the series of numbers and click 'find all' and it will search the entire sheet for you instantly.

Just don't highlight multiple cells when you search or it will search just those highlighted cells for a match. :)

I reuse the MAC ID if I want to reuse the IP for a certain user account, sometimes it will bring up the same IP, sometimes it won't, some IP's are very stable and last for months, years even, some change every use even if the MAC is the same.

I operate my US accounts with all kinds of IP - NY accounts with CA IP....AZ accounts with NY IP...havent had issues - just keep cookies in place in each user account

Re: IP addresses
 

I'm a spreadsheet newbie so I can use all the info I can get there, thanks.
