I got a laptop with a Sprint aircard. Everytime I check my IP Address it is different. How safe are these aircards, and can I really believe that or can this aircard be tracked right to me as I type on my sofa???

Thanks....

https://www.ip-adress.com/ shows where your IP leads to. To get any closer you'd have to contact your ISP.

Ok I understand. That's the one I use, and the address is like the next state over. So in worse case scenario, they will still track you on these things if you dont use proxies,etc.

wuttup wootay? i have that exact same card that i use to access internet. the person i got the card from works at a sprint store, but they didn't say anything about whether it was safe or not. i wish these things went a little faster.

guys they can track everything... your mac addy on your laptop is one of a kind,, they know everything that addy puts out,, and IF your big enough they will locate you,,,,

use a proxy,, use tor,,,, anything just not in the clear'

wireless is so insecure, unless you are a security pro, you leave yourself open to hacking...and when hacked, your computer is wide open.

just depends on if you have a password protected wireless connection, so other wireless 'sharks' cant cruise on your web or potentially hack you.

where is the best place to get proxies? do they prevent you from doing anything on the internet?
