antik Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi guys, first post I remember reading a while back about how you could customize your IP address to appear to other peers as anything you wanted. It didn't actually change the IP, from memory it just showed it differently to peers for privacy purposes.For example, you could change your IP so it displayed to others as "hi.nice.to.meet.you" or "how are you"Does anyone know a way of doing this?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 It depends on your ISP. But you can buy a cheap domain name and do that with a server (seedbox). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antik Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nah I remember it was some sort of program or it was a script, one or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I disable that by right-clicking in PEERS window and clicking on RESOLVE IPs.That way I see bare ip addresses...far less chance of seeing garbage names and even the occasional . address. This saves bandwidth and connections and lets uTorrent run a tiny bit faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Ah okay. IP resolving on Peer tab... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antik Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah I always knew about the 'Resolve IPs' option but I forgot that even if you did change your resolved IP to something anonymous that anyone with knowledge could easily disable 'Resolve IPs' and find it out But just out of curiosity, does anyone know of a program which allows you to change your 'Resolved IP' to anything you wish? I know there's a program out there, just forgot its name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's not anonymous. You are speaking about IP resolving and DNS. And your ISP has to allow this service, certainly with a statical IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
