Question about new IP

[Dynamo]

How can I make it so that my home IP is untraceable to my paypal account when I logon? Do proxies work? And if so then which ones do you advise? Is there an easier option?


I was also wondering if anyone here has had success buying virtual property online such as game gold. They often require a phone number to confirm the transaction. I was wondering if they could use the number for other purposes as well. Say if I charged back, could they use that phone number to track me down WITH authorities?

I dont like that last question. It looks like you might be asking how to scam.
I'm not going to answer unless you can assure me you are on the level

No that is incase I get scammed by the virtual gold selling sites

Thanks

Hmm. Not entirely confident of the motive you have. But here goes some short answers.

How can I make it so that my home IP is untraceable to my paypal account when I logon?
VPN, Proxy, undocumented connection device.

Do proxies work? And if so then which ones do you advise? Is there an easier option?
Some proxies work, some don't. Either way, PP knows you have a proxy - good or bad. Easier option is the undocumented device.

Can't help you with this one. Out of my realm of experience.

I was wondering if they could use the number for other purposes as well.
Yes.

Say if I charged back, could they use that phone number to track me down WITH authorities?
Yes.

I've bought some in game gold a few times. It's been awhile though. I never went through ebay/payapl. I would buy it from the companies website and I would pay with a prepaid Visa. Yes they would usually want a phone number and they would call me to verify the transaction. During the phone call we would also arrange where our characters should meet in game so that they could give me the gold.

Never got scammed. I may be able to find the company(ies) that I bought from if you would like.
