Is it possible to ban an ip address from contacting you through any website?

Posted by admin as Hide IP Address





Is it possible to ban another IP address from contacting you through any website, this includes email, facebook, etc? I remember seeing an article that said something about this, but I can't remember. I think in the article, it said you can contact your internet service provider and they can ban the IP address from contacting you. Thank you for your help!

Depending on the capabilities of your router you can block ip addresses from entering your network, but this is a the very basic of a firewall.

You ask to block an ip address to contact you via any website, email. That would require the help of all webadministrators in the world. And if this person would go to his friends house and works on his laptop there, he/she would be able to contact you again because he/she contacts you via another ip address.

How do I check my IP address I am using to connect to a wireless network at home?

At home, we have a wireless network. we have numerous computers that connect to that network (some laptops and some PCs). since having my new laptop, one of the PCs can no longer open websites. I think it may be because my laptop has overtaken the same IP address. How do I check and see and change the IP address of one computer?

It is easy to visit:

http://www.ipaddresslocation.org
http://www.find-ip-address.org

to find your IP address.

To check your internal IP address you can use start-run-cmd- ipconfig

to find ip
easy way is
go to start >run
type cmd
then a new window will open
type "ipconfig "
(with out quotation )
then it will display your ip address

You may have more computers connected than your ISP allows!

Storts Family – How To Remote Control Your iPhone From Your Computer

Aug 21 2010

Posted by admin as Hide IP Address

There are a number of apps in the Apple App Store that let you control your computer or a specific software using your iPhone. you can use your iPhone as a mouse, remote control iTunes with it and do a whole lot more. such apps are fun to use simply by the virtue of the “awesomeness” factor.

Let’s just turn the tables a bit. How about an iPhone remote control app that lets you control your iPhone using your computer?  Especially if you bitten by the texting bug! Now you can type fast and do work on your laptop while having the iPhone open in a separate application on your computer. Interested? Let’s see how you can do it.

We are going to be using the iPhone as a VNC server. Apple, of course wouldn’t allow such a feat to be accomplished on their cherished device, so you won’t find any such application in the Apple App Store. however, you might be aware that another very popular platform exists where you can get free and paid apps that you won’t find on Apple’s App Store. I am talking about Cydia.

Before we proceed any further I must mention a disclaimer. Jailbreaking has recently been legalized in the United States but you might want to check your local laws if you are outside the United States. Also keep in mind that jailbreaking will void your Apple warranty.

We need a jailbroken device for Cydia and we need Cydia for Veency which is the app that lets you connect to your iPhone remotely via VNC and thus control it from your computer. Veency is of course not the only app that jailbroken device owners might be interested in. there are lots of them available via Cydia that let you tweak your iPhone in ways no other app on the App Store would let you do.

Jailbreaking is easier than ever before with the latest app called jailbreakme. The actual process is however beyond the scope of our discussion here.

  • Open Cydia on your iPhone. Let it download the packages and do its thing. Now go to search and look for Veency.

  • Click or tap on Veency. you will be able to see details of the Veency Package. Browse through them to know more about it.
  • Once satisfied you can click the Install button towards the top right.
  • Cydia will ask for confirmation before proceeding and show you a summary of what will be changed

  • Confirm and Veency will be downloaded and installed on your iPhone.

From a configuration point of view you only need to ensure that WiFi is switched on your iDevice before you can access it remotely. you will also need to know the IP address that gets assigned to your device. you already know this if you assigned it manually.

Else you can find the IP address assigned to your device by visiting Settings > General. then click on the blue arrow next to WiFi network name and you should find your settings listed there.

Your iDevice now has a VNC server installed. So you should be able to connect easily using a VNC client. We have covered a number of them before. TightVNC stands out if you are on Windows. Download and install it from here. A portable version is also available if you are so inclined. Once that is out of the way, fire it up.

Next up you need to enter the IP address we determined above. and confirm the VNC request:

Once you are connected you will be able to use your iPhone remotely via your computer.

This is especially handy when typing long messages or accessing your iPhone in another room. there are certain downsides as well. Since you are using this with the mouse you won’t be able to replicate all the ground breaking gestures that make the iPhone so special.

I didn’t get the opportunity to test the setup with a magic mouse or magic trackpad. It would be interesting to know how things behave with these devices in the equation. maybe some of you can let us know?

How to use TightVNC with DynDns and Port Forwarding?

Aug 11 2010

Posted by admin as Hide IP Address

I want to remotely access my laptop from my android phone. I have the TightVNC server set up on my laptop, and the Android VNC viewer installed on my Droid. the problem I am having is that my router changes my IP address. I registered with DynDns to get a static address, but I am not sure how to incorporate everything. I also have port forwarding on my router for port 5900, but since my IP address changes, I cant forward it to my laptop.

In the dyndns site just check "Add new Hostname" and get a hostname (domain) you like.

In your router configure DDNS with your username, password and hostname, the router will update your dyndns account everytime the IP changes.

To check if the IP is updated (dyndns site) go to "Host Services", there you'll see the IP associated with your hostname.

EDIT:
According to portforwarding.com TightVNC uses these ports (5800, 5500, 5900), so in your router go to "Port Range Forwarding", "Start" 5800, "End" 5800, "Protocol" both, and put the IP of the computer you want to access. and repeat the process for the other ports.

Even if Do-Not-Track Were a Good Idea, Could It Ever Work?

Aug 10 2010

Posted by admin as Hide IP Address

John Levine

In a recent article, I read about increasingly intrusive tracking of online users, which has lead to a proposal at the FTC,

FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said the system would be similar to the Do-Not-Call registry that enables consumers to shield their phone numbers from telemarketers.

Maybe I’m dense, but even if this weren’t a fundamentally bad idea for policy reasons, I don’t see how it could work.

The phone system is regulated to the extent that there is a well defined set of phone numbers, and the overwhelming majority of phones used by consumers have one or perhaps two numbers. if I travel with my mobile phone, its number stays the same no matter where I am. a phone number is a fine identifier to use in the no-call database.

For do-not-track. what’s the identifier? your IP address? most ISPs assign addresses with PPP or DHCP so they change anywhere from once an hour to a few times a year. My ISP uses a “carrier NAT” so that their residential customers have no unique external IP address at all. when I travel with my laptop, I get whatever IP a hotspot or hotel happens to assign me, typically hidden behind a NAT. And on a lot of ISPs, when users fetch web pages, the remote site sees the IPs of the ISP’s web cache, not the individual users.

As an alternative, for web tracking, I could imagine that the FTC could ask the IETF to invent a no-track header to be sent with each HTTP request, along with all of the other options like preferred language that a browser sends now. but that header has to be programmed into every web browser, every mail program that renders HTML mail, every web server, and every web cache and proxy, which, if we’re really diligent, might cover half of the users in two or three years.

Even if we do have a no-track header, we’re still in the situation other people have outlined, with bad guys just ignoring it, and little way to even tell that they’re doing so, much less get the FTC to act on it.

In my experience, the FTC is not dumb, so my most charitable interpretation of this proposal is that they know it won’t work, but they figure they have to show they tried and failed before they can go back to Congress and ask for something reasonable, like only track people who opt in and say it’s OK.

In the meantime, Firefox users might enjoy a browser add-on called Ghostery which lets you see how many trackers web sites offer you (a lot, it’s impressive) and decide which of them you want to accept.

How To Surf Safely With Anonymous Surfing Software « Marko.us

Jul 16 2010

Posted by admin as Hide IP Address

It’s easy to get swept up in a rage of paranoia nowadays, but there are numerous benefits to using anonymous surfing software that I’d like to share with you. Nowadays many people like me travel a lot with their job, time on the road and in hotels and airports can get pretty tiresome and your laptop almost becomes like a companion. I work in computer security and so I am naturally concerned with identity theft, security and unfortunately am well aware of the criminal element working on the internet. Travelling around a lot you become even more vulnerable, hotel internet connections, airport and cafe WiFi – all are riddled with different security problems and managing your life from these points via a web browser on your laptop is extremely worrying. this is why I use anonymous surfing software, it gives me tremendous benefits which I use everyday, which I will list some here for you.

1) Protects my Privacy – this is important to me and I have a real problem with knowing that every move I make on  the web is logged in access points or at my ISP, not using my privacy software it isn’t!

2) I can run it on a USB stick – every where I connect all my web browsing is encrypted to the same level as the US orders in Iraq. nobody can read any of it apart from me

3) I can pretend to be from whatever country I want – when abroad I can view UK TV as a resident by selecting a UK proxy. I can also pretend to be from the States when I want to use something like Pandora(a fabulous US only Internet music station)4) as above I am not classified by my IP address, I am an internet citizen so can bypass stupid restrictions by governments (Turkish ISPs block blogs and YouTube!).

5) I can speed up my browsing – how many times has a security product made something quicker. I can pick from a network of proxy servers across the world to actually speed up my browsing whilst encrypting and protecting my identity and data

I surf securely wherever I am, I am not restricted by countries petty censorship when I visit them and I feel in control of my data when I use anonymous surfing software. in fact I showed a colleague how to access UK casinos legitimately using the software when I was working in the States last month (European casinos block US IP addresses mostly from their games). it really feels rather empowering sometimes.

If someone is using an open WiFi connection that doesn't belong to them, will he be surfing anonymous?

Jul 05 2010

Posted by admin as Hide IP Address

For example if Mc Donald's WiFi is used, university WiFi, or other free, open WiFi spots. will he give up any other information than his location, and the web pages and information that is entered while surfing? will a laptop or mobile leave any kind of footprint?

The fact that you are using an Open wifi connection doesn't really mean anything your machine always leaves a finger print. you can firewall it though if you have a firewall installed on your machine and it is configured properly.

It may leave behind your machine's MAC address in the DHCP pool, (and logs) plus whatever you did if they are logging all the information.
If you go back within the DHCP lease time (usually a day or two), you will get the same IP address back, otherwise a new IP will be assigned.

Make sure you do not enter any personal information on any web site while using a "free" wifi, including valid user id or passwords, those could be captured.

The router will probably keep a record of the MAC addresses of computers which are connected. all devices that connect to the Internet have a unique MAC.

To see your MAC address – run, CMD.
Type IPCONFIG /ALL
where you will see it called the Physical Address.

There are a lot of other ways you can be identified besides your IP or MAC address. Your computer gives up information to web sites all the time. in addition, you take great risks using open WiFi networks without encrypting your connection as anyone who wants to can see your traffic.
