Fixed 5 IP addresses

Sumer · #1 09-25-2013

Hi, I'm currently using wifi hotspot off my iPhone and I'm getting sketched out by too many repeating IP's and it changes randomly during session too. How can I get 5 fixed IP's that I can use 1 for each of my accounts? My ISP is ATT and I'm unable to change the MAC address on it. What can I do?

Why are you concerned so much about fixed IPs as opposed to making sure you dont reuse the same IP across different accounts?

Sumer · #3 09-25-2013

Because on my iPhone, I only have a range of 75 IP's at the most. It's a hassle to keep airplane mode to get new IP and hope it's not been used or used by the account I want to access. Getting 5 IP's you'll easily have access to seems much easier to manage.

What network are you using?

How many accounts are you running?

Sumer · #5 09-25-2013

5 accounts and I use ATT as my cell phone provider and ISP

GreenBean · #6 09-25-2013

Consider another provider with a wider range of IPs then.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it be easier just working with 5 IP's than random ones? In the stealth guide, the writer puts he uses different routers per account. Just switches them out.

More used to dyamic IPs myself.

I have one less step to do and that is changing the IP.

You just make sure you dont reuse the same IP across the accounts and you make sure to leave cookies (appropriately) in place

Technically yes, it would be easier. But you're setting yourself up for a potential link along the way if you ever mixed an account with the wrong IP. Then, all your hard work of building those 2 accounts would go down the drain.

Remember, what may be the easier option is often the option that has the greater risk of link. Stealth is not about taking the easy option.

Using the same IP's time and time again, and never getting them linked across accounts would be good, but one mistake and that IP is out of commission, as well as 2 accounts.

It would also be pretty expensive to have 5 Static IP's.

Sumer · #12 09-26-2013

With a unique MAC address, you get a unique IP right?
So if I have a MAC address for every account, the IP with always be the same.

JamesNorth101 · #13 09-26-2013

That depends on the lease that that MAC address is given on any certain IP address.

I can get the same IP addresses for a few days in a row without issue using the same MAC address and then suddenly the next day its a different IP.

Only way to guarantee the same IP time and time again is having a Static IP

If I had let's say 10 eBay accounts and logged into them once a day you would need 70 different IP address per week. Wouldn't you run out of them quickly and it would be harder to get unique ones as time goes by?

IF you have 10 eB accounts, you could operate with same IP PER account - so you would make sure the IP you obtained is the one you used the day before.

So you could operate with 10 IP...

If you have 10 ebay accounts you would not be restricting yourself to one ISP.

Avoid making your choices too narrow to operate well in stealth.

Just a different way of looking at an entire picture of stealth selling.

This newbie to stealth thanks you! I want to be 100% clear on this so I understand what I need to do.

So.... an IP address can never be used again to login to any account a second time even if it's to the same account?

You can log onto the same account from the same IP a second/third/fourth ect time.

What you have to avoid is using the same IP on different accounts.

Thank you from a Newbie! Wouldn't that be hard to do especially if I wanted to login to a certain account I would just have to keep trying until that IP address is logged into. I guess over time you increase the odds per account that you will log into a previously used IP (purpose for the login spread sheet), am I correct?

So what you are saying it's OK to reuse IPs ONLY for the account that it was used previously?

drm701 · #20 10-13-2013

WOW thank you guys I got an answer from someone before I submitted a reply. Now I understand how to use IPs properly.

Is there any software to keep track of IPs instead of trying to do it manually?

I know I'm going to love living here in Stealthville.

Correct.

If you learn how to change your IP using your MAC address, then you can choose which IP you get, but that it something to learn after you have gotten use to stealth.

Use http://www.aspkin.com/forums/multipl...-stealths.html to keep track of your IP. Only take 5 seconds to log the IP and the spread sheet does the rest.

The problem for me is that It seems I can't change my router's MAC address. When I login to my ISPs modem the MAC address is visible but can't be changed. I'll figure something out maybe just buy a bunch of cheap routers.
