It won't be much of contest, you just install TunnelBear and choose which location you want to get an IP from and there you go. I guess I can pretty fast win it.

I have not known about Tunnel Bear, before saw your post. I will discover it more, but for now I don't think reasons we should use it, especially with very good supports from TOR network. There are very few reasons to create such fake fixed-geolocations of IPs, TOR even does it better.
I checked this page, and found there is another option to privacy concerns: https://bitcointalk.org/privacy.php

Guys, it's very important to stay anonymous on the Internet. The owner of the Paribu exchange was seized by criminals in 2018. So, i've been using Tor Browser for a long time.

Sorry, but your post is not on topic.

He|she clearly advise forum members to use Tor browser to keep anonymity while browsing online period. What exactly is not on point @welovedcrypto?, also, that for forum members to keep their account from be hack, they should consider "staying anonymous on the internet."

Yeah man I gotta say that's a bit suspicious unless you are using tor. If you aren't it's time to change your password and possibly email address.

I do use tor :-P

I posted this in the other thread, I'm the guy who got hacked recently.
These are my last IP logs. Maybe you guys should check if any of those IPs show up in your own logs.

Well, people should change their email and passwords from time to time if they want to follow the right secure practices. So I see one more positive thing in having access to your IP logs, then more people will be "scared" and change them.

I disagree with that. You can't go around changing your password if the IP-data isn't making sense to you. You'd just be wasting time otherwise. The different countries or zones could be the internet service provider assigning you dynamic IP addresses maybe? In my case, I have a static IP and the location is very accurate so any change in my location will be highly suspicious as seen in the bitcointalk logs. If I had a dynamic IP, I'll keep in mind the zones I'm assigned into. For instance, if living in UK I can expect to have zones from UK/Europe but a zone from India will be highly unlikely to be assigned and hence I can go ahead changing my password.

I'm talking bout the newbies which have no idea what they are doing and they are the ones that get hacked most often.
BTW if someone hacks your account and you see it after a few days, it's probably too late already, so you have to check it more often.

We should have a contest:

Who has the most geographically disparate array of IP addresses?

Basically, how much distance do your IP addresses cover geographically?

Mine are all from the same country, pretty boring.

Who has the most continents listed in the last 30 days?

If you have a lot, it means one of 3 things:

1. You're a world traveller, jetsetter, globetrotter.

2. You use Tor.

3. You got hacked!

Just as an extra precautionary measure, I recommend people not publish their IP addresses here. Also publishing your list if it only lists 1 or 2 countries could be a giveaway of where you live... So, don't publish that info if you mind people knowing, or guessing, anyway.

Also something to note:

If you check your account from a cellphone; the location can be wildly different than your actual location; for instance, I am in California, but when on my cellphone, the IP will show as Texas, or Washington... sometimes on the east coast....

Same here, when I went to the park 300 meters away from home the geolocation tells I've flown 400km north Tongue

Probably users that know they've used their smartphone or tablet should rely more on the timestamps than on the IP locations.

Of course, when you see that you've crossed the border, that's a different story

Exactly as I said before.
If you have dynamic IP this kind of tracking see your pc as a pc of on "lan owned by your ISP" and the location can be in a place near you.

If the location is shown is very far from your location or in another country that means that your account can be not safe.

my connection is always funneled through the same private IP... so its easy for me to see if something is fishy. And what would you know; only one IP on the list Wink

Strange, I hope this is valid only for newbie accounts or at least for a certain period of time, like 6 months, otherwise it will be really drawback in the security.
I'll probably try it myself with a fresh account if get the time for it. Anyway, thanks for the

I guess it is one of method to prevent hacked accounts change hands so many times.

It's the first time I've changed it but it won't be the last time for sure.

I will find it because I did not save link of that thread. Someone was curious about this, and tried with a new account, then that account locked after the second (or third, I don't remembered correctly) change of email, it was locked.

That account was locked because of clicking the link to lock it. This is as intended, it doesn't mean accounts are automatically locked after changing the email address.

I read months ago that changing emails more than twice will lead to account lock.
