Fixed IP Address
 

Hi everyone! I finally finished reading the eBay stealth guide so im on the hunt of creating new accounts and get me back on both eBay and PayPal.

But here comes my 1st problem:

I have a fixed IP address. I have contacted Vodafone which is my internet provider and they told me it cant be changed. I use WIFI and I have tried searching tutorials on Google and Youtube but I cant find anything, or what I found didnt work. I still have the same IP address. :attention:

So can someone please tell me what to do? :-(

Thanks in advantage.

Re: Fixed IP Address
 

You can try to force your router to get assigned a new IP by changing his MAC address.
This is the tricky way and depends on your router model. You have to do research on that.

The easyest way, in my opinion, is to get an USB Internet key (or dongle) and use it just for stealth purposes.
This way you are not mixing your account with other possible accounts connected to your WiFi (if you are sharing with friends or family members).
Get an Internet key from a big provider. You pool of IP has to be big if you want to use it with different accounts.

Can also simply get a VPN or VPS instead than you don't have to worry about changing your router's ip

I actually just managed to get my internet provider to change it. They said they forced it. So now the 2 last numbers are different...

I was still working out the limited accounts and doing some refunds still...
This means I cant access anything to link me anymore right?
And I have another question...What about if I go somewhere else like a friends house or someone elses computer? Do I have to be that careful?



Thanks everyone. The help you all give me is much appreciated.

More than using your own internet. The other parties may also use ebay/paypal.
You need to be able to never link yourself.

I would consider getting another vodafone dongle for totally new IP.

Good Luck
