Despite everything, Google still knows my IP address

[UltraMysterious]

Hi

I've been researching for hours and have tried everything I can to trick google into thinking my requests are coming from a different IP address. This works for some sites, but not google. I'm using the WinForms Webbrowser control which uses IE.

I don't want to use a VPN or proxy, so I've tried:

1) Sending the following headers using a randomly-generated, valid IP address for all but user-agent:

User-Agent // randomly picked from a list
Forwarded
X-Forwarded-For
Client-IP
Via
Proxy-Connection
Xroxy-Connection
X-Proxy-ID
X-Forwarded-For-IP
X-Forwarded
Forwarded-For
X-Coming-From
Coming-From
X-Real-IP
True-Client-IP

2) Changing web browser viewport size
3) Clearing IE cookies
4) Using a program to view LSO files ... none found
5) Not having Chrome running
6) Ending all Google-related tasks in task scheduler
7) Disabling Javascript in IE
8) I've made sure WebRTC is not leaking my IP.

The only other thing I haven't tried is spoofing my MAC address, I was told google wouldn't worry about that unless it involves adsense or something of the sort.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

I doubt that switching your ip in the http header will effect the ip your network device sends while doing the tcp/ip handshake.
you may want to use a proxy or vpn.

 

[Gr33nArrow]

spoofing MAC address also pointless.. vpn/proxy is the only way

There wouldn't be so much proxy services if you could hide your IP just by changing some request headers
Servers have to know your real IP to send the response to you (or your proxy IP, which forwards it to you).

Edit:
I see you already posted this question twice, so I'm also replying to you other thread:

Is there any way to tell the site I'm coming from XYZ IP address without owning those IPs?

You don't have to and you can't "tell" your IP.
Servers see where the request comes from.

OP, you need a proxy, a VPN or use a VPS.

Google (and every other site not run by clowns) knows all about IP Address Spoofing.

 

[bigot]

(facepalm) You can't "fake" your IP address.

When you request a page on a website, the server knows what IP address requested it. The server sends the requested page to the IP that requested it.

Same concept applies to proxies. However, instead of requesting the page directly, you tell the proxy "go get this page". The proxy requests the page from the website; as stated above, the server knows the IP address of the requester (proxy in this case), and sends the page to that IP address. The proxy server then takes that page and sends it back to you.

Use a proxy. There are loads of free ones you can use for testing, and good paid ones if you make something that's worth it.



Also I should add: If you change/spoof your MAC address and release/renew your DHCP lease, you will actually get a new IP address. Do this enough times and your ISP will give you a phone call lol.

Also dont forget to change your DNS server, any website can guess where you are from DNS.

Try to visit ipleak.net to see what kind of information that any site (including google) can see when you visit them.

Sounds like your missing some fundamental technical knowledge about networking and the how the internet works.

You're IP can't be spoofed if you are making a full TCP connection. So any web requests are going to use your real IP, there would be no way for you to receive an answer from the web server if you spoofed he source ip address of the packets you are sending.

I suggest you look into a VPN or using TOR or something.

Google can't track your mac address, this is only available on the network layer.

What are you doing to prove google knows your real ip? Are you just doing a "what is my ip address" in google,
or are you registering accounts that keep getting banned?

Just checking my IP on other sites, if they do, google must.

Then your webRTC isn't working. I test my firefox with proxys, and webRTC disabled, and it works fine on google or other sites, but if I don't have it disabled, they see the real IP.

WebRTC isn't leaking my local IP. The original discussion didn't involve proxies, I was trying to see if it was possible to trick a site into thinking you're coming from a different public IP without the use of proxies or anything of that sort.

Until you figure out how to use a proxy, maybe have your name changed to "somewhatbutnotreallymysterious"

@SensualTyrannosaurus I think since @UltraMysterious learned how TCP handshaking works in 1 day, and possesses a "strong development background" that she is trying to show to her "very experienced and intelligent programmers" and us how she tricked google into believing she has a different IP through a web exploit.

Her "never give up" attitude and her sheer cleverness will soon reveal us on her next post how her ultra mysterious skills have fooled google's system into believing how she possess a different ip without doing a tcp handshake.

I believe that is why she chose that name as her username.

Do you believe so? Yes or No?

• I didn't fully understand how TCP handshaking worked until I realised the need to. Now I know.
• I don't know the limitations of HyperText Transfer Protocol, so I was asking if it's possible. Otherwise, there's no way to know.

That’s the wrong attitude to have Brian. Without trying, you can never get experience in the first place. I have a strong development background and I’m clearly capable. My account generator has generated 30 accounts so far using lots of different proxies and phone numbers for verification. I also have some very experienced and intelligent programmers where I work who would be glad to help.

And I’m not the kind of person to give up, ever.

Please read through the OSI model and the according RFCs

"use vpn/proxies..." > invalid.

"your isp blah.. blah.." > invalid.

"how are you sure that google knows..." > invalid.

A bit OOT, but how can I post on BHW using my account but without anyone know it was posted using my account?

I was thinking more like Sanitation Officer.

cashier?

ISPs don't have cashiers, they're not walk-in public buildings.

I know how to use a proxy, but I'd rather not need to. Stop being a childish cunt.

Nope. VoIP engineer and software & web developer.

I have 'Male' on the right hand side of my screen, how dumb are you?

Seems even this forum is full of toxic children as well, what did I expect?
