Options for Internet access

[Curiosity]

My Dynamic IP address stopped working by changing the mac address om my computer, so I had to revert back tho resetting modem, blah, blah.

I run across this VPN Service:

VPN Service - Encrypt your internet connection - Hide My Ass! Pro VPN

Basically, what you get is:

433 VPN servers in 59 countries
Hide behind 52'000+ IP addresses
OpenVPN, L2TP, and PPTP protocols
Free HMA! Pro VPN software
Supports PC, Mac, phone, tablets
Unlimited data transfer
30 day money back guarantee

Is this stealth full proof?

Connect to our VPN service to anonymously encrypt your internet activity from prying eyes. All applications on your computer that utilize your internet connection will become anonymous with just a click of a button; no technical experience is required due to our easy to use VPN software. Enjoy internet freedom and anonymity knowing that your sensitive web traffic is securely hidden behind 52'000+ IP addresses located in 105 locations in 59 countries.

Any input?

You have picked one of the worst VPNs to use.

It is clearly stated on this FORUM to avoid using this service.

I repeat this is a bad bad bad service. We have had enough reports from users whose accounts were suspended because of Hide My Ass.

couple of threads I could recall.

Did you ever work out the reasons for the IP no longer changing?

Prefer to know what ISP you are with.

There are better options for you. I would like you to get a chance to be told about them.

Im with a rinky dink ISP because we live in the mountains...I guess the name would be the sane as to whom we pay the bill to, right? Skybest is the name...it is a dynamic ip address and up until today it stopped changing when I changed the mac address...it was changing every time for the last few weeks...now I have to unplug all devices to get it to reset.

Yeah, they offer phones and a pay as you use Internet service? A Friday--Monday weekend service I recall

On to your issue. Are you aware of any notifications about IPs changing?

Some ISP providers change around plans. Then some users can no longer change IP.

What happens if you power down?

Might take a few more questions but I am sure we can avoid your need for any VPN. Let's try

It is such a pain to get "stuck" on a technical glitch

[Curiosity]

so if I get basic dial up like with netzero, i never have to worry about ip address? It changes every time?

I understand about the VPN, and thanks for being so kind, man! If I power down the modem etc, the ip will change, but it will not change anymore when I internally change the mac addy

Then you have done all you need do.

I double- checked.

You have a Dynamic IP. If you power down and get a new IP, then that is it.

How many accounts are you thinking of making?

[Curiosity]

Like 4 accounts

[JJGold]

I thought everyone had to power down the modem/router to get another IP? Sounds perfect.

OP do NOT use that service - so many people have abused it.

Why cant you look at wireless USB stick? cellphone tether? new IP provider?

Are you in the USA? Dont be lazy about this - learn about the better alternatives

[GreenBean]

@rsot

The OP gave the name of their ISP. Yes, they are in the USA.

I put the words in bold type to help you read better.
