Ok, step one..put down the bong, you're getting paranoid. You IP addy is freely shown, hell you can get a sig that ID's people's IP address. Chill, seriously. Maybe have a nap.

EDIT: And oh yeah, anything you do over a wireless network can be seen by anyone with the right knowledge. Wireless networks fuck privacy up, No wireless in my house, never ever.

I can run my IP address through a third party proxy and a router using the following program:

You can all think and do whatever you please, but wireless networks aren't as secure as my hardline, and they're not near as secure as everyone seems to believe.

LMAO I burnt my grow cus of ISP concerns and I have a dynamic IP roflmao... but then learnt just how much trouble it is for the fuzz et al to get an address and to be perfectly honest they have bigger priorities than to chase up someone growing a bit of percy.. can well understand the paranoia... mine was far too many plants and the fear of crown court and the effect it would have on my wife.

good advice about using 3rd party proxies but to be honest your more likely to get busted by telling someone about your grow who you shouldn't have... no carbon filter if one is needed ( I dont I live rural) most busts happen either due to nasty vindictive snakes or careless growing practices.. overcoming paranoia is one of the 1st and hardest things we encountered when we started growing... mrs would freak out when a helicopter flew overhead screaming at me to trun me 400w hid off LMAO...

he can't do anything. There are no exploits out for any windows right now. Only thing they could do is use a trojan which you would have to run or be exploited by, but I haven't heard of any exploits relating to IE outlook firefox or chrome lately. Nothing has happened at all. They can't do anything with your IP address. If you're concerned get a firewall on your computer, and use a router that can block PING (ICMP) attempts. You might have to go with an aftermarket firmware like tomato or dd-wrt, they are far superior than the official firmware anyway.

You can change your IP by calling your ISP and telling them you're receiving denial of service attacks from someone you met online.

Sounds like you put way too much information on your computor and over the net if your that afraid of the 'CyberPatrol'!
I could hand my laptop over right now and have little fears that my CaseyJones, Blueberry and Silver wouldn't still have plenty of time to mature...
One of my mottos fo life - "If you don't want it chopped of, don't put it on the cutting board."
This is a little bit of locking the door after the horse is out, but... use a third party, use differant Emails for bussiness, social, family, questionable bussiness ect. Don't just hand yourself to them, you have to make them work for it!!!:hump:

so if he's not growing legally he deserves to be paranoid.

You're not growing legally either, just because state law allows it you are still breaking federal law.

did it have a link in it and you clicked it and put your password in the box and submitted it?

& you think she was smart enough to make a page with a form that sent to you (and returns the password to her) that was well enough designed that you fell for it? i think you're giving this woman too much credit.
