New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

I've just invested (treated myself) in a Dell XPS laptop, which will arrive in a few days time.

My current laptop running around 25 user accounts looks a mess.

Is using firefox portable a safe way around having lots of user accounts?

And with firefox portable, will I be able to transfer my cookies over with a firefox app?

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Best off having lots of user accounts. Personally I buy cheap computers for my stealth accounts. I don't put all accounts on one pc. Just like a Squirrel usually doesn't put all their nuts in one tree.

LOL, I love this one, makes perfectly sense. :)
Thank you vogeltron.

OP you can have a couple of virtual machines and runn different user accounts (15 each?) in there... that would be a pretty neat solution, isn't it?

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Sandboxie and Firefox Portable, or Virtual Machines. Depends on your needs.

Multiple user accounts, especially crazy amounts like 25 of them, is a big waste of time.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

firefox portable works great for me

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Personally I use separate windows user accounts but Firefox portable is perfectly safe to use so long as you set it up correctly to prevent cookies being shared across the accounts. I'm not exactly sure how this is done as I have never used it but flash and global flash settings need to be disabled.

Using Opera Portable or Firefox Portable is fine but you have got to make sure you disable flash cookies HERE (untick both boxes and then go to the 6th and 7th tab and delete anything that may already be stored)

You will also need to make sure that all browser windows are closed for account 1 before trying to open the browser for account 2

Log off each account completely - not just "Switch user"

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

If you start using portable don't try "transfering" cookies. As other stated previously you must disable Flash. It's fine to log into eBay and PayPal on a new browser. just wait a couple days before you start trying to withdraw funds or anything like that. I would suggest starting with two or three accounts using portable until you're sure that you understand how it works. I use portable browsers. I have a few of them on one user account and a few of them on a second user account just to be safe.

Recommend VMware its awesome for multi tasking can manage all your accounts from it

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Especially on dual monitors :thumb:!

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Do you use VMware Workstation Player?

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

25 user account OMG!!!:lol::lol::lol: i know thats what the original stealth guide teaches.. I have my Main windows account and 1 user account where i use all of my Stealths. My stealths never get linked my paypals dont get limited.. i Dunno how you run your stealth system but 25 user accounts... sounds kinda messy ijs :pound::lol:

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

25 or more separate user accounts is really pretty easy to manage, not messy at all.

No idea what the fuss is about.:)

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

but if your ebaying/paypaling 4-5 hrs a day signing into one account logging out of that one to switch to another user and then have to bring up all your files then having to log out again to switch to another account then bring up your files again... i dunno about you but sometimes i get irritated just having to switch from my 1 main windows account to my 1 User account where i keep all my stealths.. imagine having to switch threw all those user accounts on a daily basis.. omg i would be so irritated. what if the computer is running slow during those switches omg id have to smash it then lmao

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Personally, I keep all my files centralized in a flash drive with a shortcut on every VMWare so I don't have to keep any real files on each account.

I have the following apps installed on each VMWare
1. Portable Firefox
2. Portable Photoshop
3. Notepad++
4. Eset Antivirus
5. Word 2007

The beauty of it all is that I only had to setup 1 VMWare and Clone it as many times as I wanted.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Well I don't have to imagine as I do this every day with dozens of user accounts.

Really isn't a problem.

Speed isn't an issue either if you're on W10.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Have they sorted the compatibility issues yet with Windows 10?

I tried installing it on my main PC a few months ago and my printer stopped working so had to revert back to Windows 7.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

I heard it can still be really glitchy with certain things.

Only issues I have had have been with gaming sites.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

What do you play? Poker?

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

I do, but there were big compatibility issues with certain sites with W10.:mad2:

Start up speed is great tho.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

25 ACCOUNTS?!! WOW!!! I didnt think that could be done. If you don't mind me asking, what is your ip solution?

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Why is it not doable? also, there's several IP solutions.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

I've been wondering the same thing, obviously having 25 accounts, doesn't mean 25 fresh VPN IPS or does it?

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

What you have to understand is that there's more than one way to get an IP....some people use VPN's, some use Phone Tethering, Mifi's/Dongles, and some use a combination of all the above. There are stealthers with 100+ accounts, now that doesn't mean their selling on ALL the accounts but they may be aging the majority, or even selling a little bit here and there.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

Dongles are fine.

You need to cross check to make sure you keep i.p's unique to each account.

The key to running multiple stealths is organisation. It really is that simple. If you run a good system and stay on top of things it isn't impossible in the UK to run 30/40/50 active accounts or more.:uk:

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

If you're phone tethering and you change your ip every time when you switch accounts isn't that bad because you're using a different ip every time? This is my only concern with phone tethering.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

u can get new ips by restarting your cell phone and using it for ebay. this works for making multiple facebook accounts as well since FB can see through a cloned ip address.

Re: New laptop & want to avoid dozens of user accounts
 

EBay, PayPal, Amazon, or any website doesn't require you to have the same IP address forever, they well know that IP's do change for a lot of their customers. What is important is cookies.
