Does IP Address Reveal my Physical Location? - Comments Page 5

Hi,
You may trace an ip address. But i use ip-details to get an an ip location or ip latitude

hai,
It's nice.We can find the geolocation of an ip address by using ip-details. It's also useful for me.

i hear my location can be figured out by police through an email and through chat sites. can the police figure out my location if they know my computer name and/or ip address??

Bob, I decided to give "Anonymyzer" a 7 day FREE trial. A question I do have is: What does my ISP now SEE that I have installed "Anonymyzer"? Keep in mind that I had to give my Cable Modem's & Router's MAC addresses years ago when I first signed up with my ISP. Does "Anonymyzer" conceal those addresses as well as my CPU's IP? Since I am behind those devices, I DO CARE that the addresses of those DEVICES be concealed first since they lead to my node on my home LAN. Whether or not jerks see my IP address is immaterial really though that is a bonus in my case for Intranet privacy.

What does my ISP NOW SEE packet wise (MAC addresses included) once "Anonymyzer" is installed?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm almost certain your ISP will not see anything different, in terms of your IP and MAC addresses.

Bob,

Thank you for your timely reply. ;-)

I am fining out that the ISP is the one folks have to fear the most - not just the hackers in terms of privacy, information harvesting, and tracking etc... Products like "Anonymyzer" _claim_ that once one uses their product, that one is enshrouded in anonymous safety. How can that be? If ISP's still can access everyone's IP and MAC addresses everyone is still very very vulnerable, especially if Enforcement Officials are brought into the picture & summon your information from ISPs. "Anonymyzer" only spoofs one's IP address but beyond that what does it offer really since it does NOT offer complete anonymity? HOW can one achieve complete anonymity on the Web today?
