> Afraid of my IP address
Bookmark topic
Hi guys,
Well, I have a bit of a trouble here. I'm afraid someone will find out my IP address. Long story short, I have a business partner overseas and I have something with his ex. You know what I mean... Anyway, they still living in a same flat for a couple of weeks and as far as I know he has access for her laptop. What I would like to know if it's possible to find out someone's IP from an email? I usually sending details to him. The other thing is if it's possible to find and IP through Skype? I try to chat to her on Skype, with different usernames, but we well in big trouble if he finds out it's the same person all the time. Even bigger if he ever find out it's me. Oh, one more thing. Because of this stupid new thing called BT Home Hub, I have a same IP all the time. I have them on the phone not a long ago and they have explaned to me my IP will never change. Lovely...
So, guys! Any advice?
Thanks a lot!

If you use firefox i think that you can broswse through a proxy. If you serach for proxy browsing through the internet your ip should be spoofed to another one. Just look on google and you should find all the info you need, or leave her alone!

There are free programs that can do this but you just need to look

It is very easy to obtain your IP address from both email and skype. But it's not all doom and gloom...
The only way anyone can uniquely identify
You, or more accurately the exact location of the computer you use would be to contact BT and get them to look up the IP address to see who is currently using it (that's you!) and then ask them to disclose your name and address to them. Under current UK laws, BT are not allowed to do that unless it is required as part of a criminal investigation, they can't just go around giving out your details to any tom, dick or harry who rings up and asks for it.
There are a number of IP tracing programs available but none of them can pinpoint your exact location, i.e. street and house number. Only BT know that and as I said, they're not allowed to reveal it except in certain circumstances and only then to an appropriate authority such as the police.
It's worth mentioning that even if you have a dynamic IP address, the authorities can still get your details from your ISP since they keep a log of which member had which IP address on a certain date and time.
So I wouldn't do anything TOO naughty online!

he could always run a whois and get his general location.
Even better, if he uses the proper tracing apps he can get the town he's in.

Absolutely, but luckily for chrisfirst
that's about as far as he'll get. But I guess if that's enough information for him, you'd better stop contacting her online!

Even if he's using a dynamic IP (given by his provider everytime he connects to the internet).
The other guy could just compare two emails arriving at almost the same time (one from him, and another one from the guy who's banging his wife) and check the IP.

Krubach is right, try to send emails to your partner via pc and emails to his ex using your cellphone, use an internet cafe or something.

I have a very easy solution, Download a software Called 'Hide IP Platinum'
The software changes you current IP to a different location everytime you click on 'change proxy' mostly the IP locations are changed to: South Korea, Jordan, China, Malayasia, Switzerland, Poland, Japan and France.
I'm currently sending a message from Taiwan but im situated in the UK
It is legal to use such software as you have every right to Hide your IP Address.
Software can be found here:
