How to setup your own VPN Server

trials cannot possibly be unique or non recycle ips though, right?

Well trial ip is same as one you pay for, as they take your card details to charge you as soon as trial is over.

Don't know too much about hosting, but I can say i've never had problems with the few that I have used.

This looks like a good plan, and so I went through and carried out almost all of it. I have very little previous networking knowledge. I still have a few questions about the procedure:

1) There was talk in this thread of using VMWare to change/mask MAC addresses. I'm assuming that I don't have to worry about this? All I am trying to do is access EB through my VPN within my VPS. I am not trying to download and run any programs that would be able to acquire my MAC address. So, is it still something that we should be worried about? Or is it not completely necessary? (EDIT: I only plan on using this VPS for one unique 'identity' as well, so I'm not worried about mixing 'identities' by using the same VPS)

2) Assuming that the VMware is not completely necessary, I have completed the first 4 the steps outlined in the first post, steps 1-4. So, I am almost done. The problem is, I have no idea how to do step 5. It seems so simple, and I feel so stupid, but now that I have rented a VPS and set up my VPN using putty and have all my information ... how do I "connect" to the internet through my VPN? How am I able to begin physically "browsing" the Internet through the veil of my new IP address?

3) Once I begin browsing through my new IP address, will it make any difference if I create a unique Windows user (on Windows 7) to use when logged into the VPN, or will it not make a difference which user I am? I assume it will not make a difference.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!!!

For Ebay, wouldn't it be easier to just setup user accounts on the computer and use a Dongle to change IPs? just a thought.

This isn't quite the setup I'm looking for. Essentially, I have 2 eBay accounts already. One is in my name and the other is in a friend's name. Right now, I log on to my account through my home computer, and then always have to drive to the library to use my friend's account.

What I am looking for is a setup whereby - using my laptop anywhere in the world - I can connect to the Internet through my VPN in my VPS, and the IP address that I am using will always be constant. I am going to be traveling a lot, so I want to be able to access my friend's ebay account (and my account) anywhere in the world by always being able to connect to the Internet through my VPN in my VPS. I hope this all makes sense.

It seems that I am very close to figuring this all out, I just need the final advice from somebody else. Can someone please help me out with the few questions that I asked earlier? Thanks.

With regards to the first post, can I have multiple VPN IPs on one VPS?

I have never come across this. I will have a look into it and repost back....which provider are you using for the VPS?

Would buying multiple $20 VPS's per month for each Stealth account work?

Asking this here since a lot of you seem to be knowledgable about VPS & VPN and that sort of stuff...I'm not very good with it.

I recently bought a Windows VPS with additional IPs but I couldn't get the IP to change to one of the 'additional' ones :( I thought I got it fixed, but I had to cancel and now I've only got a temporary solution.

You mean do this as a safe and at your own level of skill way?

You mean NOT face panic attacks because of chasing the flavor of the month way?

VERY wise thought too

It would be if I was in my own country, and not in a country on EBay's shi* list :D

But where do you get your clean ips from?

[rsot]

You contact the VPS/VPN service and hope that the IP has not been burned to the ground...many VPNs have been.

[sudhiros]

There is nothing called as "clean" IP. its all luck . . like shooting with a half filled revolver on your head . . the click has a bullet or not . . is all your luck !!
