It is as simple as getting a VPN?

[HelloEveryone]

Hello,

I have everything mentioned in the Stealth Book: new address, phone number, etc, but am confused about the IP address / internet part.

I have two computers, one I run ebay/paypal normally (non-stealth), and the other one is a cheap laptop that I purchased just for stealth.

My plan is to run IP Burger VPN (dedicated) , each time I use the stealth laptop. Every time I decide to logout, I will delete cookies, cache, etc, turn off the laptop and not use it for anything else.

My question: is this really enough? Will I need to get a static or dynamic IP, new MAC address, or anything else?

I run VPN software when I use my stealth accounts, I have two different, and it works perfect. I don’t even delete any cookies or anything, because I make a new PC user for each name, and I have never had any issues. But only use the PC users name with the stealth account under that name, never confuse them. But it’s easy if you ask me.

Thank you for your quick reply. So VPN itself is enough to fly under ebay/paypal's radar?

For me it is, just find a vpn service where you can pick countries (and pick the one you live in or the one fitting your stealth accounts country that is what I do) and then note the IP down, and always use that IP number. It works for me and has worked for years now.

I see, sounds easy enough. Would I be able to run multiple devices at once on the same Wifi, as long as the computer that is logged onto the stealth account has a VPN turned on?

What exactly do you mean by running multiple devices?

example:

Stealth laptop #1 = running stealth ebay account / PayPal account under Wifi
laptop #2 = running a different ebay account / PayPal account under same Wifi
Phone = Has ebay/paypal app , running facebook, etc under same Wifi

All of these would be okay and not link my accounts, or would it be best to run stealth account with everything else turned off / disconnected?

Oh like that, well if you ran a VPN on example laptop #1 then it will not affect laptop #2 no matter if they run via the same WiFi. You could have 3 different laptops, running a VPN where each of them are using a different IP from each other.

I can have my PC running the VPN with 1 IP and be on my iPad with a different IP, and my iPhone running a third IP under a VPN, still all of them use the same WiFi network.

But to be sure, because I live in Denmark, and I do not know if it’s different network from yours (but I think it would be the same anywhere) but you can test it by opening both laptop #1 and #2 and have VPN running on both and set each laptop to each their own VPN IP’s and go online and check the IP’s. But I would use IPvanish software for this, because it will have more servers attached, and give you thousands of IP’s for different states as well as countries, and you can pick that IP again, just note down which options you use.

I use IPvanish, which gives me so many different Danish towns to chose from, as well as different servers within the towns, and. Note down which options I pick. I also have another VPN software, but this services does not give me the possibility to pick towns or servers within the towns or states. I just checked my IPvanish software and it has a lot of states within America, and under each state, it has a lot of servers, so you can use that easily, and have different ip’s on different PC’s or laptops or other devices, you just need to install the software on the devices/PC’s/and laptops, run them as a software by themselves and login with your account info, and simply pick which destination you want.

I only use my PC for it with different PC user accounts and I have the software installed in each pc users account, but run them all under the same login, I just pick different IP’s.
I hope this made sense, sometimes I can get too detailed and ppl might loose the point.

But I would start out by adding IPvanish to both laptops and change the IP’s for each, and see what an online check would say (you know where you check your ip numbers like IPBurger) if they come back different from each other, then it works (which I think it will).

Thanks for the detailed answer. So basically I am being too paranoid and it is okay to use the same Wifi, as long as the IP addresses are different.

[WB1976]

Not paranoid, just careful, which is good. Just make a test beforehand and you will see if it works, it does for me, that is all I can say 👍🏼

Not just VPN is enough - all of stealth steps must be followed....and a LOT depends on what you are selling a.k.a. risky items...

Step 2: New IP address

VPN is enough for this step right?

[WB1976]

To WasTopRatedtheBanned,

Sorry I still can’t reply on PM’s

But I use IPvanish when wanting to pick specific cities and and servers.

Off course one must follow the stealth steps, but so fare 5 years down the line, and a VPN has been working for me, as I have described. And off course I am not selling risky items or ⊗⊗⊗⊗. I am a legit seller with 100% good feedback on all accounts.
