Answer» How do you guys know exactly in what city I live and what my ISP is? What TOOLS do you use for this?
I think it's a bit too much concerning privacy..
(this QUESTION is directed to the moderators)
Treval IP addesses are not confidential. They APPEAR on your posts in forum software but can be (and are) hidden from the general membership. Your IP address is also included in every email you send (in the header). There is nothing secret about IP addresses. As for finding where that IP address originates (ISP and location), there are any number of sites that identify the point of origin including the most well known, WHOISI know all that, but when the person is linked to an ISP, it denotes the location of that ISP, not of exactly where the person LIVES, including latitude and longtitude. No?Forum personnel cannot determine your exact location without contacting your ISP.http://www.ip2location.com/
Or that It's all legal stuff really. Webmasters use it for analytic information mainly.I'd be more concerned about the "cell phone" that you're probably carrying... Something along the LINES of "GPS coordinates" and overzealous governments turning on the microphone without your permission...I don't have a smartphone man. I have an old 2002 phone. It doens't have GPS, neither WLAN, nothing. Just SMS & call and GPRS.http://www.danasoft.com/
