IP address ban

[Fjold]

I'm not internet or computer savvy.

I'm in New Zealand right now and logged in on my only Calguns account.

If I would have created a new login account and logged into Calguns from here in Auckland, would anyone be able to trace it back to me?

Ban! I'm contacting Kes now!

No, but if you logged in with your 1st screen name it now has your NZ ip in their logs and can see if you created another account using that same ip.

the mods don't care, as long as they suspect two accounts belong to the same person they will ban.

two individuals behind the same router are out of luck

[lazyworm]

there are multiple ways. No I'm not telling.

Why would you create a new calguns login just because you are not home?
Users are expected to login from different IP address based on using different computers, different networks, etc. It's expected and acceptable.

However, I believe the moderators frown upon one person using multiple logins. That usually suggests nefarious activities.

Use https://*, instead of http://* whenever you can...

The info that shows up below in my sig jpg is what can be seen by any website you visit.

As a side note, there seems to be an increase in "web bugs" on Calguns where a new user shows up posting nonsense, with an image imbedded in their post or sig that does not display anything and which collects the IP addresses of everyone who views the page. The ones I have seen have been png images from a domain ending in ".ga". This is a permaban offense and any of these posts you see should be reported.

The only sure fire way to avoid calguns detection is to initiate a massive DDoS on DHS and CIA servers, while at the same time hacking into the core router at the SSA (they're all old people over they're anyway). Once in, create a static route into calguns. Problem solved.



How long do you guys think i have before DHS is on me? Lol.

Do any of you really understand how IP routing works, how BGP works on the internet, autonomous systems, etc...? If your traffic is going to be sniffed it will be a man-in-the-middle sniff, far removed from your local ISP or CGNs ISP. If you are that parranoid, configure a TOR. If you don't know what that is, look it up, as I'm not going to tell you since if you don't know, you really don't need one.

As one poster said, logging from various locations is an internet norm. You will have different IPs. Another poster said, use HTTPS whenever and wherever possible. I've never tried CGN via HTTPS since I don't care who sniffs that traffic. Once I post, it's posted and then index by a variety of engines, indexers, spiders, etc...

I'll just drop this here...

for Firefox and Chrome users, browser mod that forces connection to any web sites (if otherwise unrestricted) alternate SSL server if it exists.

Seems like a good little add-on. Of course in reality, if the site(s) you access are complying with a FISA warrant, which you'd never know, they've already provided the Government with an export of the private SSL keys. In that case, it doesn't matter what protocol you use.

I think most here would find that add-on useful for general privacy and security purposes more so than exploiting for illegal activity.

TOR implements that very add-on btw.

Never cared for TOR personally, too slow... too overkill.

I don't use one either, nor have I ever since I have no need to obsufacte my location.

[the_natterjack]

TOR, wasn't that created by the US Navy?

Doesn't the FBI own a whole mess of TOR routers and have used them to catch a bunch of criminal types?
