Question...
So, if I use VPN and Tor for created identity (but Safary or Chrome for my main account) and if I switch off VPN once in a while to stream and open main account with a static IP...
And let's say one of the times when I needed to open my anonymous account I did it without turned on VPN and my IP got transparent.... if someone try to identify me, how would they know that this specific IP is the real one and all the other ones that VPN was rotating are not? Basically if someone to try to track me they would in some way access thousands of IPs, not just IP of my main network.
Basically, how does it really work?

There are many tools which can bulk check IPs and identify common locations, IP score, likeliness of being a proxy or home ip, etc.
But that's not really an issue, since it's a well known fact you can be tracked just by how you type, so really it just depends on who'll be mad about your content and if it's the right people then it's a high chance of being tracked (except with very strict airtight measures).
If you're on linux you can use a tool called TorGhostNG to route all of your traffic through tor.
 
Most websites usually keep tracking you even after the page already fully loaded, so the changing of IP address would be recorded by them anyway
 
You're basically asking how they would pick your IP out of all the others as being your real/legit one? If so the answer depends on who is looking. If you're trying to fool law enforcement for example, they'll subpoena the logs from whatever account/company you're referring to and then they'll identify the ISP behind the IPs you've been active on. Most VPN's use data center IPs that are easy enough to separate and a lot of tor exit nodes can be easily identified as well nowadays so more than likely they would eventually find you from process of elimination. If you're talking about a random person, competitor, or w/e trying to find you, they probably wouldn't be able to as they wouldn't have the proper resources at their disposal to do so.

It isn't necessarily hard but as others have pointed out it depends on who you're expecting to try to deanonymize you. Let's say I have an access log that contains all of your IP addresses, I would go through the list and use a tool that would assign a Spam/Proxy/VPN probability score to find out which IP addresses look out of place.

To get an idea of what it looks like let's take these two addresses: 185.180.12.43 and 2.86.9.23. Now we use any IP lookup service, for example ip2location:
https://www.ip2location.com/demo/185.180.12.43https://www.ip2location.com/demo/2.86.9.23
And we compare the results. The first address falls under Datacenter category and is already flagged as a VPN. The second address is under ISP/Mobile ISP category, now that doesn't tell us anything but if there are hundreds of flagged addresses and a few clean addresses then you'd start looking for your real address by analyzing those first.
 
Thank you, guys... No place to hide for anyone on the net. :-)

I recommend reading the Whonix wiki, it has a lot of info on how to be truly anonymous online.
You can also look into QubesOS and Tails.

All of these anonymity suites provide a unique toolkit of features, it's up to you to see which is the best for your threat model, but if you truly need anonymity one of these 3 will likely fulfil your needs.
 
And if one suspects his IP is leaked changing your IP permanently (with your ISP), does it do anything at all, or you are already "caught"?
 
You cant hide mate , It just few sec web would get you over an over , its complicated thing on web .
 
Just use a headless browser.

Or a anti detection browser.

Or better still use a static rented ip with VM and browser.

Remember footprints are not just ip it also the whole computer as a snapshot tacken
 
Tor works in a different way. VPNs and Proxies also work in an entirely different manner. If you are doing something that is legal, then using an Elite proxy should be the best option. Otherwise, if you are doing something illegal, then Tor is the way to go.

Nothing illegal, but don't want it to be traceable.
So, you suggest Elite proxies for anonymity? Or by which criteria?
