HELP!!! ip changed will I have to delete cookies & flash cookies ?
 

Ok here's the thing I made a Stealth Paypal account but before that I made a New Windows User account just for my Paypal account to separate the Cookies & Flash cookies from my 1st account also I changed my ip address by resetting my Modem Router & it worked this was 4 days ago I then registered with paypal.
The thing is I checked my ip address today & it has changed by itself ? its not one of the previous ip addresses as I keep a record of all my ip addresses is there anything to worry about ? should I delete the cookies & flash cookies know in my new windows user account that I just use for paypal ? or is it ok ? I don't want paypal getting Suspicious with the ip address changing
Please help Thanks

The IP address changing is fine. Lots of people use dynamic IP address services.

It is more important that the cookie/flash data is preserved - and since you are using serperate windows accounts there is no need to delete it. Paypal needs to be able to recognise your system otherwise a flag may be raised.

If you are using MAC spoof to get different IPs for different windows users, one thing needs to be aware is that your ISP's DHCP server will assign you a different IP address depending on how long or how frequent you use on that particular MAC. Each ISP works differently, there is no fix rule in this area.

The new assigned IP address can be a brand new IP, can be an old prior IP that you used before on the same MAC OR a different MAC. Whenever you notice an IP change, before you log in EB PP or check their email, compare it with your spreadsheet first:

- If the new IP is a brand new one OR was used by the same MAC before, you are fine.
- If the new IP was used for a different MAC, do the spoof again to get a new one. sometimes you have to need to do multiple times in order to get a brand new IP.

Like bluemoon said, the IP addressed to a certain MAC will not be reserved to that MAC forever. This is why having a spreadsheet of all the IP you ever used for each account will allow you to make sure there are no cross-match and linking happening.

Hey guys quick question,

Does running separate users accounts on a mac work in the same way as it would on a pc? I just need to delete all cookies and flash cookies then sign out before doing the IP switch before i log onto the other user?

Thanks in advance
