Can any device be tracked if connected through wifi?
The wifi connected devices could be tracked within the wifi infrastructure which is providing the service. This tracking require specific logging and specific configurations, which are rarely in place. Urban wifi infrastructures in high density areas can surely integrate 3G/4G/Wifi features to track devices.The wifi capable device could be tracked by mean of potentially reachable nearby wifi infrastructures, independently from their supplier. This is what google, apple and microsoft are doing when you allow location services to benefit from wifi, even if you do not connect. (the available wifi networks, together with the signal level, are used to identify the position).
Can one track my real IP address when I use VPNs?
Generally speaking, yes.Your VPN still runs from your IP address to the VPN server. Your ISP can still see all the packets running from your computer to the VPN server, and although they may not be able to decode the contents or final destinations of them, they can usually still identify the kind of traffic (i.e. web pages, streaming, P2P, etc) by analysing the timing and density.Can your final destinations “track” your IP address when you connect to them via a VPN connection, no, they cannot. The VPN server will mask your IP address when connecting to your destinations on your behalf.That being said, if you use your regular browser, even on VPN, you will still be exposing all of your cookies, and websites will still know who you are as your IP address is usually immaterial to them.
Can we connect to WiFi without a SIM card?
Yeah, you can connect to WiFi without having a SIM card in your phone.Today almost every phone is designed in a way that the WiFi feature is present in them. In order to connect to WiFi you just have to ture your phone's WiFi on and scan for the available connections. After getting your desired connection seen you just have to click on that and it gets connected.In some cases after clicking on the desired connection you also need a password which the primary user would have set for security purposes.You can also connect with your friend's phone who should have to turn his Hotspot on, or with your home WiFi or Modem cum Router.However, I would like to tell you that the only condition is that your phone should have a WiFi feature in it.
What does VPN mean for IPhone ?
Aside of built-in security, there are possible chances that while using an unsecure network like Wi-Fi at your favorite coffee shop, or restaurant, bookshop or airport, a hacker is sitting beside you in seek of people who access valuable information on their unsecure devices and thus, provide them a chance to earn money. VPN is best regarded as a protective shield for internet surfers; ultra tech protection is assured with a VPN because it plugs into your iPhone through an encrypted tunnel constructed by army graded protocols that protects user’s online data all the time. The secure tunnel won’t allow any unencrypted data or any encroachment from outside in any manner on your iPhone. Therefore, all the information that you route through your iPhone is completely safe irrespective of the place, you would like to access your iPhone from. iPhone technology sways enthusiast in every manner it can. Within no time its deliverables enticed the world pretty well. A part of being attractive in its presentation, it also provides outmost security from data breaches. But since, with increasing number of cyber theft its way better to take precaution instead of prevention. So, VPN is the best solution.
Can you connect to your WiFi anywhere by using a VPN?
There are two totally different things known as VPNs:A server running at your office, that allows you to connect to your ffice computer through the internet, from anywhere in the world that there’s an internet connection.A private system that allows you to connect to a server, then forwards your connection to its internet connection.Either one will allow your device to appear as if it’s somewhere else, but not “anywhere”, just the places the two connect to the internet.As for connecting your wifi? Probably not. Your router has to connect to a modem (if there isn’t already a modem in the same case), and that connects through a phone line or cable to your internet provider - and that’s “where” you “are” on the internet.You can connect a phone to a type 2 VPN. You can connect a desktop to a Type 2 VPN. But connecting your wifi router to it would be difficult.Since a Type 1 vPN just shows you a few miles from where you are (and if your office uses the same provider that you do, it shows you as being “at” the same “place”), it wouldn’t be of any use even if you could connect your router to it (which a VPN of that type would disconnect you from anyway).If you want to be “invisible”, find an SSL VPN. Then run Tor on your device, to connect to that VPN. It’s not perfect, but it will make it more difficult for someone to find out where you are. (Unless it’s your government - then it’s trivial for them to find out.)Of course, running Wifi sort of blows the whole idea. Anyone with Wireshark can see what you’re doing (and the program is free).
I am using an unsecured Wifi from a neighbor. Can they discover my log in name & password? What about my IP, can they track me with Gmap Location using IP?
Your neighbor will not be able to see you on his router or network neighborhood if you turn off Discovery:Start/Control Panel/Network and Sharing Center/Change Advanced Sharing Settings/Turn off discovery/Save changesYour external IP address is assigned to his router, not your computer. GMap location can be off by hundreds of meters, it cannot locate a building. Even if it could, hypothetically, it would point to the building containing the router, not to you.The most common way to read your network traffic is through a router feature called Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Consumer-grade routers do not have SNMP. (Technically, they do, but it is locked.) If your neighbor is using a commercial-grade router or is savvy enough to change his router's firmware, he would not be running an unsecured WiFi or he is running a honey pot. If you are jumpy, check his router's model (below). He could read your traffic by putting a computer with two network ports, or a hardware monitor, between his router and cable modem. That is very unlikely for a home user. He could use Port Forwarding or DMZ in his router. That's also very unlikely. To test for it, get your own NAT address by running cmd then ipconfig. IPv4 Address will be something like 192.168.1.105. Run ping 192.168.1.105. If it takes longer than 1 ms to ping yourself, your traffic is being forwarded. While you are there, get the Default Gateway, which will look like 192.168.1.1. That's his router. Plug it into the address line of a browser, preferably IE. The login prompt will probably disclose his router model. If it begins with WRT, it is a consumer-grade Linksys (/admin), WG is consumer-grade Netgear (admin/password), D is D-Link (admin/admin). If you can log in with default user/password, your worries are over, he is a rank amateur. If he is running a commercial-grade router, you have been entrapped.
Can my identity be traced if I access the internet through a public wifi?
If you don't wanna be tracked and you are skilled and disciplined enough than it's impossible but for 99% of people this is not true. There are many problems in your question, i'll assume that "pirating movies" is equal to "download movies by my browser" because that are many interpretations to that like "provide movies to download or download using P2P". You are behind a router which makes you feel safe because there are many PC's accessing the Internet through the same ip address but you are still sending a lot of information: Your MAC ADDRESS (which you could fake)Your browser fingerprint (A hash of every browser preference trying to generate a unique ID often not so unique but helps a lot to identify frequent users)You REFERER, showing where you was before entering a specific site. (a lot more dangerous than you think but again you could fake.There are a bigger problem: the router you are using is not yours.Your access are for sure being logged which could track to your MAC. This logs contains times which could reduce drastically the pool of people that could be connected at that time because of physical restrictions. Even with your mac spoofed they now have a pool of a few people that could be connected at a given time. Even worse your entire "unprotected" traffic like HTTP can be inspected to reveal you by watching your patterns.If the owner of this router want to discover who you are (in the case you are faking your MAC and there are too many users using the router at the same time) he can trick (like poison your DNS) you into accessing a fake website of his own to infect your computer with any program to help track you down. (Most problematic situation you could fall into)There are a lot of other tricks like scanning your machine searching for vulnerabilities.
