So, Jayelle, you're saying it's wrong for me to use an anonymity network to protect my location when a PO Box does the same thing? It's wrong to try and get people to use anonymity networks with my experimental data to support it? Illogical. All these points I've been bringing up support using anonymity networks.
So your point is that you should be allowed to hide your IP? I have no problem with that. Go ahead. If you're getting mad at all of us for not hiding ours, then that's just silly. I don't care if you see where I live according to my IP or my email address.
Whats wrong with a scientific experiment? Nothing. I can't run an experiment without getting baseless accusations of stalking?
My stalking question wasn't an accusation, it was asking if that's what you (or someone) would plan to do with an IP address.
Makes me think the United States is a lot better than Canada.
I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this.


I still have no idea what you are actually arguing here. That people should protect their privacy? Sure. Go ahead. But it's up to them.
That people shouldn't tell you their location? Okay. But once again, still it's up to them.

I'm not getting mad. One of the characteristics of Asperger syndrome is that they will go into a long monologue about one thing and not stop. If interrupted, I say it all over, again, repeat and repeat until I feel everything has been said. This is why you seem to see me making a big deal of it, I feel no one gets my point, so I throw out more data and arguments.

It seems that someone finally got my point.

IP address look-ups are far from accurate. When you look up an IP Address, all you are doing is looking up the city in which the ISP's regional office resides, or the final router in which the information passes before it is sent off to the home user. In large cities, such as Las Vegas, obviously the regional office for my ISP (Cox) would be accurate. In rural cities, it is a lot more hit and miss. For example, I once looked up an IP address from College Station, TX, and it said that the IP was located some 97 miles (156 km) away in Houston.

Proxies and routing networks reduce bandwidth, and the data you access is still being processed through a third party, which still makes it insecure. Even if you connect to a proxy via SSH or HTTPS, unless you connect to the target using a secure connection as well, the information is being encrypted only at the proxy (or the routing service entrance). Kind of pointless to be so worried about privacy when you're sending and receiving information over an insecure connection through numerous routers before it becomes encrypted.

Many websites now, such as Google, are offering you the ability to connect to their website and various services through a secure connection. (https://www.google.com) IRC and Usenet also allow you to connect via SSH. This is, perhaps, as far as a home user should be going for privacy. In fact, I hope soon that every website will allow you to connect to them using an https connection all the time. As I've said, an IP Address is a pretty pointless thing to hide on the internet unless you have some crazy paranoid reason to be hiding it. :)

Yeah, I'm a bit baffled as well.

As to the rest, "meh". I've got bigger security concerns than someone getting my rough geographical location anyway.

You need a subjunctive "wouldn't" instead of "won't", and colloquially, a person is "on" facebook, not "in".
Another option is "You guys don't happen to be on facebook".

*approves of Ed's use of the word "real"*

*doesn't approve of Psudo's*

Pweb is as real as anything you can touch, taste, smell, or hear. By my count, at least 18 members in the top 50 (by post count) have met at least 2 other Pwebbers; 1 has met at least one. Page two adds another 5 who've met at least 2 and another 7 who've met at least 1. They/we were all Real before they/we met, as were the connections they/we made. Your distinction between virtual and meatspace is garbage.

I met tons of Pwebbers (and hatrackers) at Endercon.

Ethan, IdemosthenesI, Taalcon/Dave, Locke/Adam, Ollie, Boothby/Steve, Ami, Ela (and her two kids), Leto, Papa Moose...and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone. It was 8 years ago!

And the only person I've met elsewhere is Catherine/v-girl but we have visited each other a number of times.

-shakes head- I tell you how to find the sender of an email from an IP address, and then you guys use it to try and find your own IP address from email headers... Or at least, that's what I can assume due to the crazy results. Based on that assumption, the effect would be that you're finding the initial sender of an email, and reporting it as your own IP address. However, I've tested two IP addresses given from email headers, and my own IP address, and two were in the same city as where the actual address was. And I knew their addresses because they were naive enough to give them to me. That's cause for concern.

Because I knew their exact geographic locations due to their naivete, I could check how far the IP lookup was from their actual house. The results are alarming. My IP lookup was 2.3 km away from my actual house and was in the same city. Peterlover14's IP lookup was 4.4 km from her actual house and was in the same city. Graff^'s IP lookup was 24.7 km from his actual house, very close in a rural area. All of these used no proxy server and used their actual IP address. So based on the data I have, IP addresses are reliable enough to find someone.
Since you're trying to use it to see your location from your IP address, I bet. you'll get closer results if you use this.
And don't change whatever is in the box either, as it should detect your
public IP.
If your email address is private, it won't detect it. It means you know what you're doing online. Plain and simple. Yet I'm getting flak for telling the masses how to do it and advocating privacy. It's freedom of information,
freedom of speech.
Ok, I know this is a little late but, jayelle's right we were trusting. And dude what the hell?!? You followed our IPs? I'm sorry but after reading I randomly got pissed. Okay continue with the current topic on hand.
