Is it possible to get the IP address and port of a website or a server?
Yes. You do that every day when you connect to them.Any DNS tool can find an IP address from a name. nslookup, dig, and host are common tools for this, or you can use the website DNSstuff.You can scan for open ports using nmap, or use online tools like TCP Port Scan with Nmap.
Is it possible to trace the location of a Private IP address?
Long story short, I have been receiving emails from an unknown person who won't reveal their name to me. It makes me very uncomfortable and I have become determined to try and figure out who it is. Through some research, I discovered you can trace an IP address to the exact location of any computer. Unfortunately, this IP address starts with a '10'- meaning it is a private IP address. Is there any way to trace a private IP address? If so, how? Thank you for any help you can give me :)
Is it possible for two devices to have the same IP address simultaneously on Internet?
The answer here-in does NOT belong here! I posted in answer to the question:Can two devices have the same private IP address on the same home network?The question here, Is it possible for two devices to have the same IP address simultaneously on Internet? is DIFFERENT!Whoever chose to merge these questions simply doesn’t understand the Internet.IP addresses on a Home Network are NOT internet addresses. They get translated via NAT into Internet Addresses at the router or modem that has been provisioned with a publicly routable IP address.And the actual answer to the question here should have been a simple, NO. Private Network IP assignments are NOT on the Internet. That is a tautology. Anyone who suggests that a IP address belonging to a Private block is an Internet Address simply does not understand the Internet.I was answering a question about Private IP addresses, not Internet IP addresses.My answer as it appeared before being moved is here.I am sorry to have to disagree with Diarmuid O Briain, but he is not exactly right.It all depends on how the home network is configured. This may be a bit of an unusual configuration but I have seen it.Assume a home modem/router, using the LAN IP range of 192.168.1.0/24, that is connected to a switch with also connect two WiFi Routers in different parts of the house. Each of these IP routers have its own SSID and each use 192.168.0.0/24.It this case, other than the fact that there is no way from a device on one WiFi link to talk to a device connected to the other WiFi, it works just fine.Like I said, it is unusual and I would never set up a network this way, but I sure as heck have seen it.
What are TCP, UDP, Proxy, port, local host, ip address?
TCP and UDP are simply put two ways of sending data from one place to another. TCP ensures that the data you get is always right, so it does a lot of checks for you. That makes TCP connections a bit slow. UDP tried to make the data reach you as fast as possible. It sometimes makes small mistakes because of being in such a hurry I would suggest that if you are downloading text documents like ebooks etc. use TCP If you are listening to songs, use UDP (you will not even notice the difference of sloppy delivery) Proxy (Server) is a large computer that does the surfing for you. So assume that you want to go to yahoo.com, yahoo will find it very hard to handle all the people who want to see yahoo.com at the same time. A proxy server can then visit it for say 100 people and next time, if you ask for yahoo.com, it can send you the page all by itself (so yahoo is not overloaded) and you think the service is faster. IP address is a way all the computers connected in the internet identify themselves. Each computer is given 1 unique IP address (much like we all have postal addresses). So if you know the IP address of each computer, its easier to reach that computer, rather than meander arounding asking people whether they know where this computer is connected. An IP address looks like 192.168.12.234 Port is like an electric socket at your home. Assume that you hv two TVs at your place, and both are tuned to different channels. So even if the channels knew that they are broadcasting the stuff to the same house (or IP address), they know that eventually it goes to two different sockets (or ports). Your computer has one IP address, but multiple ports. These port are numbers like 80, 3012 etc I am simplifying all these terms for you to understand. I will recommend that you talk to your ISP or a local "computer-expert" to help you identify the exact proxy, IP address, port etc for you. All the best!
Why is my IP address blocked on Wikipedia?
A look at Thatcher's block log suggests that he blocks proxies (including those of Tor) and compromised addresses. Hmm. Seems like you're editing on a highly-dynamic IP. Although Wikipedia encourages anyone in the world to contribute, open proxies are often used abusively. MediaWiki, the wiki software that powers Wikipedia, depends on IP addresses for administrator intervention against abuse, especially by anonymous users. Open proxies allow malicious users to rapidly change IP addresses, causing continuous disruption that cannot be stopped by administrators. Several such attacks have occurred on Wikimedia projects, causing disruption and occupying administrators who would otherwise deal with other concerns.
What makes an IP address untraceable?
Nothing makes an IP address untraceable; all IP addresses are traceable to some degree. My local IP is 10.0.10.20, and according to most, it is untraceable. However, let's see what happens when I connect out to my company's web server, which is on a public IP. It says I logged in from 104.162.252.110, but since I am on a double NAT'ed with a firewall inbetween, I dare any of you hackers to get in!!Hint: In 30 years of professional Net use, I have never had an issue. This address is very traceable: DNS cpe-104-162-252-110.nyc.res.rr.com. You can always trace an IP where it emerges from a private network, but what you can do is use proxies to hide behind another IP.However, if you know what you are doing, that is always unwrappable, so in short, no, it is not possible for an IP to be untraceable.
Who are the best Proxy service providers (paid services only, not free services, preferably proxy providers offering API)?
Due to my daily tasks with SEO, I have quite a bit of experience using proxies. If I were to estimate I would say I have tried well over 50+ services over the past 4 years. The service I am currently using is Proxy Rotator - Rotating Proxy Service. I have deployed their service since the end of 2015 and have not had any issues.They claim to have over 26 million ip addresses that are a mix of residential, private and public proxies. I have no reason to doubt this I have not experienced any banned or blocked ip address during my usage.I mostly deploy their Proxy Rotator system in which provides a single endpoint with thousands of exit points. Using this system there is truly no way to possibly leak the originating ip address of my server. Each request sent to their Proxy Rotator is sent out over a new random proxy in the pool. A flowchart is attached below that shows how the Proxy Rotator works.In an alternate script I use their Rotating Proxy API which is an RESTful API that responds with a new proxy in each request. Using the numerous filters you can fully customize the request to get the exact proxies you need to be rotated at anytime. A nice feature off the API is the ability to respond is jSON or XML, which means the API is supported out of box by most programming languages. You can see an example response from their API in jSON below.{ "proxy": "192.129.231.203:9001", "ip": "192.129.231.203", "port": "9001", "type": "elite", "lastChecked": 1489455582, "get": true, "post": true, "cookies": true, "referer": true, "userAgent": true, "city": "Tulsa", "state": "OK", "country": "US", "currentThreads": 1, "threadsAllowed": 1}The best part about their service is that it is completely free for my light use. You can’t really go wrong with free lol.
