IP addresses and stealth accounts.

[mynameis]

This is a question mainly to those of you with more than one stealth account. Do you ensure your IP addresses is always different when logging into your accounts, or is it only a problem when using an ip which was used on a banned account? Thanks.

It's about both, You want to make sure you don't get a repeat IP address from the Active and Banned Accounts.

Purpose is to operate so as to never LINK accounts.

Banned or otherwise, a good stealther takes every step to never be linked.

Logs and good record keeping are the crux of success.

OP, you need to avoid making any links so you should keep IP different. People do like to keep logs of IP in order to ensure no linking via IP.

Whatever else you are doing, you should make sure you log all your info.

Main preference is for excel files with all your info.

Notepad works for the simple recordings

[GreenBean]

Most users have more complex business plans.

Never see how notepad has the flexibility.

Suspect you do it because everyone else says excel.

[rsot]

Just placed it out for an option if OP wants simplicity - or wordpad rather than notepad.

I change my MAC address and my ip does change, but when I change mac address again, I get the same ip i used before, it seems like there is some how 10 ips that keep rotating. any help/?

Rocketman, suggest you look into a Dongle, might give you a larger IP pool.

dongles are ideal for getting around the ip address issue

Although there isnt a single answer to this question, im looking for the most common answer. Are the last ip addresses usually logged or do web systems log the last 5/10 ips used on an account and how long can you expect the ips to be kept on file.

[GreenBean]

Logs are keep of all IPs by the web systems.

They are kept forever.

So an IP used 18 months back could still be 'found'.

What are you trying to find out?

Are you hoping to be able to reuse IPs or want to know if it is dangerous to have a recycled IP?

I know this might sound silly, but what is a Dongle?

Trying to find out both actually. But im sure an ip address fetched from a pool could have been banned before on someone elses account.

Of course, IPs recyle depending on the pool of the ISP.

That in itself is not necessarily problematic.

Why is that not problematic, when IP addresses are used to link accounts?
