Using VPS
 

Does anyone using VPS instead of VPN?

Is it OK?
:welcome;

Re: Vps
 

yes i am, for me it's better than a VPN, just be sure to have a dedicated IP.

Re: Vps
 

Yes, there are members on here using VPS sucessfully :)

Re: Vps
 

Is it more expensive than VPN? Don't forget it. We need 4-5 different IP address for stealth accounts. How much we need to pay monthly.

Re: Vps
 

Why do you need 4-5 different ips for a stealth?

Re: Vps
 

Maybe because they have 4 or 5 different accounts - egg spreading basket style :)

Re: Vps
 

One vps per account

Re: Vps
 

VPn is too expensive when your account(s) get suspended.

VPS costs what you want to pay to be successful in doing international business.

Re: Using VPS
 

I pay for VPN- around 10$/ IP address /accounts / Month

Re: Using VPS
 

I dont like vpn ip could easily be burnt, i love vps and i live in the states and still use a vps. No switching, worrying or tracking. They are well worth ten bucks a month

Re: Using VPS
 

I never really needed to use a vps so I never studied it,and am lost , I would live to figure out what a vps actually is and how it works and the cost

I think a vps are just different servers based all over the world, and some how your able to log in and it's just like using a remote software kind of , you are logging in from your PC and able to access a server,with an OS so another computer that is in a different country and running off there IP, so it's like you are really in that country....???

Am I basically on the right idea of what a VPS is or am I way off??

And I think someone said that a normal price is $10 a month??

I guess this is based on how much memory you are using on the server, I'm guessing not much is needed if you are just operating an eBay account?

I'd love to learn more on VPS and virtual Machines, I never had to use one so never really budgeted any time to research and learn, but now I'm curious and want to,learn

Re: Using VPS
 

Yes vps virtual private server about 10 bucks

Re: Using VPS
 

Yep, pretty much DMShark.

It's a virtual computer you connect to.. Virtual Private Server. You log into it and you're connected to this computer similar as if you were using something like TeamViewer.

Re: Using VPS
 

Why is this better than using a VPN with dedicated ip? Im assuming it is because it cant be singled out as a vpn connection, right?

Is the general opinion now that VPN's are no-go, even with dedicated IP address?

I need to set up a stealth account. VPN is easy. But rethinking it now.

Re: Using VPS
 

Vpns are imo second choice , the ip is not unique. Many people can be using that same ip. Vps is a unique ip so less chance of the ip already being toast. Many people have success with vpns but got to find hidden gems and stay away from first ten pages of search results. Plus there is a port issue with vpns and they can be common even though I dont think I have ever heard anyone say that has caused a problem. A common port screams proxy or some sort of ip hiding is being done which I would consider a red flag. With vps you control the port

Re: Using VPS
 

We have to differentiate between public IPs and dedicated IPs. Using a VPN with a public IP is of course out right crazy. That should be common sense.

How about with a dedicated IP?

Re: Using VPS
 

Vpn= network vps= server. I dont know how to get a dedicated ip with a vpn but anything is possible i guess

Re: Using VPS
 

Most VPN services can offer dedicated IPs.

Using public IPs gets you flagged on any service. You often have to enter Captchas for human verification, or activate by phone when creating a Gmail address. You dont run in to those issues with a dedicated IP though.

Im not sure what mechanisms Paypal have in place to spot VPNs with dedicated IPs though.

Re: Using VPS
 

My biggest issue with vpn is not having port control

Re: Using VPS
 

I've tried vps, vpn, proxy, hotspots, and router reset. VPS would be my second option after the Router reset method.

Re: Using VPS
 

VPS = Virtual Private Server, which is fine. This is preferred. Obviously you want to try your own local connection options first as it's cheaper.

Next would be a VPN which is virtual private network. This funnels your internet traffic through a 3rd party (the VPN provider), gives you the IP address set by the provider. You'll only want to use a dedicated IP address from a reputable company.

I don't suggest proxy connections.

Hotspots is something from maybe your mobile phone or wireless hotspot device (dongle), these are fine as it's' your own connection.

Thought I'd clear up a bunch of loose terms.

Re: Using VPS
 

My only thought on vps is the port is important most vps come with a vps standard port you need to change it

Re: Using VPS
 

Depedning on the company, your package can come the way you want.

Re: Using VPS
 

Sounds great should work!

Re: Using VPS
 

First post, just reading through everything. I'm currently using the Private Internet Access VPN, no issues, but I'm beginning to question it.

I read that phone tethering is another good option. Is this preferred over VPN's?

Also what do Mac Addresses have to do with everything?

What are some reputable VPS services?

Re: Using VPS
 

Mac Address doesn't have to do with this, it's not related unless you change your device Mac Address to obtain a new Ip address.

A dedicated IP address is preferred firstly (eBay and PayPal like this) and you can get that easily with a VPS or VPN connection. I would personally prefer a VPS over a dynamic tethering option but that's me personally, tethering works fine.

Re: Using VPS
 

i would prefer vpn+virtual machine, vps is not so good

Re: Using VPS
 

Why not vps?

Re: Using VPS
 

Nope.

VPS is far superior in terms of allowing layers of proection from being detected by ecommerce platforms.


:nono:

Re: Using VPS
 

I've only ever used VPN and have never had problems. I pay $40 a year and run all my accounts on it. Its not even a dedicated ip, although it is static. There are three things I do which I think help a lot. I only use accounts aged for at least a year before I start selling on it, instead of having one high volume account I have multiple medium/low volume accounts, and I customize the connection type as well as remote and local ports on my VPN settings which according to something I read years ago, helps a lot.

Re: Using VPS
 

Are the usability of VPN similar to vps? In terms of lags?

Re: Using VPS
 

Both of these are extremely different things altogether.

Have you ever used either of them before ???

Re: Using VPS
 

I'm currently using vps. The speed varies. But always somewhat choppy when using it.

Re: Using VPS
 

Could you please tell me about customizing the connection type, remote and local port on your VPN? What does that do? Thanks

Re: Using VPS
 

wkc250...if you are in the US, better options exist such as dongles and cellphone tethering...

Re: Using VPS
 

Thank you, I was planing on using cellphone tethering as well!

Re: Using VPS
 

I am reading the Book now "Amazon Ghost."

Why is there no option over there in the Book for VPS (Virtual private server)?

I see here, that VPS is a good & easy way to overcome the problems of Computer Setup & MAC address & Internet Connection

This should be the best option to go

Please let me know if I am missing something
