Hey, wouldya look at that???  Someone with Strummy's same IP just signed up at Adult Sheep Finder!

Got a little Welsh in your blood there Steve?

In normal circumstances an IP address will only trace you back to your service provider, some ISP's even use dynamic IP addresses which change everytime you reset your router.

You'd have to have done something wrong for your ISP to give your usage information to anyone else, but it does happen for example if the police want to trace somebody on the internet the ISP will in certain circumstances provide them with details of who was on a particular IP address at a particular time.

You can spoof your IP address using various methods but there is always a route to be found that leads back to your keyboard eventually.

Most privacy defaults to the fact that unless you are up to something really sinister nobody is particularly going to be that interested in what you get up to when there are several billion others out there that nobody takes any notice of either.

If I think or get a feeling that anything I might do on-line is going to come back and bite me in some way it's normally a good cue for me not to go there.

Say I wanted to join another forum for example.

I want to be contactable by email (obviously not using my name or usual email address), but other than that I want to be completely anonymous and untraceable.

Does anyone know how much information my IP Address gives others about my location/internet provider etc?

I think you're worrying too much mate. I can understand that some people have their dirty little secrets that they are ashamed of and would rather other people didn't know about, but these are enlightened times and going on the the Leeds United fan forum no longer holds the same stigma it once did. It's only mildly repugnant these days, so post away from the comfort of your own home and fret ye not. It's not like any non-deviants will be looking anyway ;)

PS. You might wanna have a few dodgy porn sites open in your browser to quickly flick across to in case the lady of the house comes in. Wouldn't want her to catch you looking at that Leeds stuff  !

Actually, Steve's told me where he's going to sign up.


You'll be amazed when I tell you.

I heard a rumor that he is the new President of the Justin Beiber Fan Club.  He plans to create a new motto for the club:
 
"Oh yeah, well what's an 'Ozzy'?"
