:thumbsup:

yeah im talking FULL address thou not just country

can anyone get my house number and street name ?

[benagain]

No. I don't think anyone can find your house through your ip addy. They can figure out your isp and general area, but not exact location. That's why the recording companies had to sue ISP's for customer info a few years back. Only your ISP knows where you live and unless you download some kiddie porn or blockbuster movie, they won't tell no one.

At least that's how I understand it. I welcome anyone to explain how I'm wrong.

a friend of mine says he uses proxy servers or somethin, so that people cant track his actual i.p. ..... or somethin like that, wasnt really payin attention at the time lol

[Skink]

that is a matter of record with your isp and there are ways of getting the record...

[slipknotpsycho]

it is very possible to find out where you live just with your ip, including address... but, not just anyone could get it.... the police/authorities would have to get a warrant (if the isp isn't cooperating)...

TraceRoute is an old tracer program that was coded by analogx I believe, and realeased in the late 90's....you type in an ip and it shows you the ending node, and every node contacted in between the tracer and the destination. However you could put yourself behind a proxy and then it makes it look like the ending node is you but in fact is an anonymous proxy server.

the only real reason to use proxies is if you are doing something ilegal ,,,like pedo,identity theft,,,hiding money etc... if you use the internet in any way the road will ultimately lead to you...

don't think that proxies don't have logs...

Proxies are very complicated to use and find,,,I tried it one time and got frustrated... proxies are also just another hurtle to jump and they come online and offline like the wind...
