Ok, as we all know you're not completely untrackable if you're online. But you sure can give them a run for their money:)
This post is going to be somewhat long, but it will be written in an easy to understand way. I'm going to explain how to "Chain IP Addresses" so that you can move around a bit more freely online.
Whats "IP Chaining"??? Well, whenever you get online you obtain whats called an IP address from your internet provider. (If you have DSL or cable modem, well....thats a whole other post:) ) Anyway, you get online and your ISP gives you a number. This number is your address on the internet. Just like the address for you house or apartment, you get an address whenever you get online. Why do you get an address?? Well, basically so that things don't get too confusing. ISP's purchase these addresses determined on the class of IP address that they decide to purchase.... None the less, regardless of if you're at home or at an internet cafe'. You ALWAYS have an IP address when you get online.
Well....like your house address, people and particular organizations can track you down using your IP address. How do they track you down? VERY EASILY. If I worked for the DEA, I would get your IP address and do a reverse lookup of your address. This would basically tell me the ISP on which you're on. I then call up the ISP (and possibly get a court order for them to release their log records) but I would call them up and have them find our which account was using the IP address that you sent that nasty email, or that very descriptive post on how to grow psychoactive mushrooms!
At that point, its just a matter of coming and picking you up:(
Well, how about we give them a little run for their money!
Try chaining IP addresses together!
Its not a sure fire way of becoming anonymous on the internet. But it will help a bit.
Ok, so what happens if I chain IP addresses???
Like you address at home or on your apartment, chaining IP addresses is like having your mail forwarded from one house to another. If someone sends you a million pounds of mushrooms through the mail you're not going to have them sent directly to your house!!!! You're going to have them forwarded through a few places first.
See the nice thing about the internet is that its global. And you can "forward" yourself through different countries. Countires like Egypt, Agentina, the former Soviet Republic. If you forward your IP address through a variety of countries, it is much harder for a DEA agent to call up the Egyptian Embassy and say "give me your ISP log files".
There are downsides to chaining IP addresses. The biggest downfall is that it can slow up your connection speed. So whenever you go to a site and it seems to load slower, just rememeber that you're going through a few servers worldwide:) Another thing to rememeber is that you want to use "Anonymous Proxy Servers". These are usually servers that reside in public places, colleges, etc.... These servers usually just handle large amounts of internet traffic. They're purpose is to take some of the overall load off of a particular server.
ANYWHO....Lets start chaining
First well need some IP addresses... go here and pick out a few from anonymous servers. - http://proxys4all.cgi.net/
Proxies4all is a good site. But there are many like it out there that simply list IP addresses. Here are a few that I found.
blue.pompano.net:8080
kashi.elec.fuk.kindai.ac.jp:8080
softy.poptel.org.uk:8080
caligula.flash.net:8080
www-cache.mppmu.mpg.de:3128
s2.optonline.net:8080
www.thefourthr-fw.com:8080
q.netunlimited.net:80
cache01.pathcom.com:8080
lino.privacy.fgov.be:80
magusnet.com:many ports
Notice, they all have a name then a " :80" or " :8080". Those numbers are the port addresses. One important thing is that to chain IP addresses, the port numbers MUST be the same. The most common you'll see is 80,8080, and 3128. For my example I've picked:
caligula.flash.net:8080
s2.optonline.net:8080
cache01.pathcom.com:8080
Now the easy part. All you have to do is open your browser, and follow the direction I have below. For me, I use I.E. 5.5
So I go to TOOLS then INTERNET OPTIONS then I click on the CONNECTIONS tab on the top. Then I hit the button that says LAN SETTINGS. From there you'll see an option that says "Proxy Server" Simply check that box and add your port number (80,8080 or 3128) then your IP addresses.
But how do you put in so many IP addresses??
Simple.....you use a coma ( , ) like this
caligula.flash.net, s2.optonline.net, cache01.pathcom.com
Thats it. After you've done that, hit OK or APPLY and you're off and running. You've officailly chained your IP addresses.
So now when you go to your favorite porn or cultivation site, the IP address that your ISP has given to you will go to caligula.flash.net:8080 then it will bounce off of s2.optonline.net:8080 then it will hit cache01.pathcom.com:8080. So when you do get to that web site. The log files for that website will show the IP addreess of s2.optonline.net (The last proxy server that you connected to).
There's acutally a bunch more to it:) But thats how its done! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
And by no means is that a "cure-all, save-all" to internet privacy. But it might be useful to you someday.
Below are instructions on how to chain IP address with different browsers.
Hope this helps!
