But the article points out that your IP address is irrelevant in tracking these days.
- luckylion 7y agoIt's not for legal repercussions, though. If you were engaging in file sharing, your IP is pretty much all that matters. The article is just wrong the way it is. It would be correct if it was titled "Don't use VPN Services as your only means to ensure perfect privacy".
- mandukya 7y agoThe article makes a strong case. And no, it isn't "wrong as it is". This whole VPN business sounds like a big scam everyone keeps promoting to everyone.
- dx034 7y agoIt's not. I know of several instances where IP is at least used as a filter. Esp. the combination of user agent and IP require no JS and can help you to track users across domains easily for small to medium sized websites.
- wglb 7y agoYes, if it is available it can be used. The point of the assertion is that you can be tracked even if your IP address is obscured, mangled, or spindled.
