IP distances & other questions

[levi6482]

Hi, everybody can i just clarify something about ip addresses.

In the guide it states to stay within 100 miles of ip address with new account address. this is because of the VPN right?? Does this stand for dongles too?? i have no idea where my VPN is.

anybody help please :-)

Hi, levi6482

Used to be we thought it much better to have IP addresses within a reasonable distance of the address of the stealth account.

Active practice from many users, including myself, has shown that it is not such a great issue to have an IP address showing to be miles & miles away from the actual location.
( Today my IP is merely 80 miles from my real location. No issues).
It has become accepted that ISPs will give users IP location miles away. ebay/paypal are well aware of this. They look at other aspects of the account. If the account is made with user account & cookies etc there should be no problem
Using aspkin's great creation, IP Burger - Track Your IP Address!, will be a good aid in tracking your IP.

You've thrown me ...are you using a VPN? If so, why? Tell me more please

I've been using ip burger for some time now & its great....so are you saying that i should go from the address that is stated as my ip address on ip burger?? not my own personal location?? I am using a dongle & to be honest i have no idea what a VPN is lol.

No....

'....it is not such a great issue to have an IP address showing to be miles & miles away from the actual location'.

The IPBurger application will show you what your current IP address is.

I usually make sure that it is from my city or a city very close to mine. Cause Ip's are harder for me to get hold off now a days.
