Don’t use a proxy or if you do, set the system up better / go for a better provider

Thanks,
I was told the Residential Static IPs are always be checked as Proxy, so Residential Static IPs are not good option, right?

Wow that's a really useful site with lots of information. Thanks

whatleaks.com will be measuring the round-trip time between the site and your browser. If the round trips are not the same then they know it's a proxy.

The only solution is to not use a proxy.

use VPN services

I use VPN and whatleaks.com shows "proxies detected on your connection". Do you know any way to fix it?

The only way to fix it is by not using a VPN.

A VPN uses proxy servers to change your IP/location.

So what to use better? VPS?

[Bigblackdog]

Just checked with whatleaks and found this

RDP
:
open ports detected: 3389

With a red exclamation mark - is this bad?

Yeah. I also checked VPS before. Just one RDP port opened, the rest is fine. Same time VPN shows more opened ports and proxies detected.

If you opened RDP service, you will got this red, or you use other remote methods, not RDP, TeamViewer, AnyplaceControl, VNC.

Residential RDP's. Change the default RDP port 3389 to another port.

Any open ports aren't good because these can be used to establish remote connections and are therefore looked upon unfavorably by PayPal and eBay. Port 3389 is especially frowned upon.

All that said, even a residential RDP with port 3389 open is better than a VPN.

I'm still working on tweaking residential RDP's because there are other ways for eBay and PayPal to detect remote connections other than scanning for open ports.

I use my domestic IP. No VPN, no proxies so how do I get rid of this?

Hmmm

Try disabling RDP. See if that works.

But I'll play along for the sake of those now stressing over your claim that it is 'especially frowned upon'.....tell use why then?

I had to laugh when I first came here and seen you guys using VPN's and user profiles, VCC's, etc, etc to create weak accounts.

I also seen that, at least up till recently these weak accounts seem to work relatively fine. It makes me a lot more optimistic of my chances.

I won't be starting with $5 dollar listings though, I'll be hitting the ground running and maxing out my limits in my first month......on a strong account of course

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to answer your question: If you're hiding behind anything like proxies, VPN, RDP, etc you'll be seen by eBay/PayPal in an unfavorable light, because it looks like an attempt to hide your IP, dodgy activity is associated with proxies, VPN's, RDP's etc. Port 3389 is the default port for RDP. It's one of a few ways eBay/PayPal detect RDP's.

Yes, sorry. I edited my post to answer your question.

Then I suspect you won't be satisfied with any answer I give.

Just tested IP Burger with whatleaks and it passes with flying colors, no proxies detected.

I disagree with the comment that VPN's are considered dodgy with eBay, more and more people are using them for internet security and they ar being a common place item.

It is the quality of the VPN that matters, if you go for cheap or free ones then you stand the risk that the ip address has been used on ebay previously and has been released by that user and it was recirculated.

I think the best way is phone tethering as many people use a tablet and use their cell phone as a hotspot.

Interesting

Bro, can you do me a small favor and copy/paste your VPN IP into the box on the site below and tell me what the score says, please?...

That is interesting as IPBurger and ExpressVPN got a 1 and using my phone tethered I got a zero. Which goes to show that cell phone hot spot usage is the best way forward and I will probably dump the VPN’s and save a few bucks in the process.

It's a ruthless IP checker. If your IP scores anything under 1, it will pass anywhere.
