Tracing by location?

[MeWin$]

Can someone get busted by using the hotel internet?
Im comped at blankety-blank strip hotel right now and can the casino trace my personal usage to find out ive been on this site?
The parameters are its a large hotel and i have to give my room num and pay ten bucks or so to be connected for 24 hours.

hmmm.

 

[NightStalker]

you are safe

theoretically they can,.But legally it's like -" invasion into guest privacy",so they can't.

Not an issue

I would roll out the red carpet for half the people on this site.

How do know Ken isn't selling IPs to casinos or that ZG hasn't set up a honeytrap? Perhaps the mods are working out of Harrahs corp. headquarters.

Hey now. Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean there isn't a balrog lurking in the woodpile.

If you're paranoid use a VPN. Lots of hotel guests use a VPN to get to their work network so it won't look out of the ordinary.

 

[MeWin$]

OK but,

what is a VPN?

Alternative to hotel internet

If you have a smart phone with a data plan, another option is PDA Net, a software program that lets you use your phone as a modem for your laptop. There's a free trial, and registration for full unlimited use costs about what most hotels charge for a day or two of internet access. I had it on a Blackberry, and it was kind of slow; I now have it on an Android 2 and it is lighting fast. The web site is http://www.junefabrics.com. I'm not affiliated with the company; just passing along info I found useful.
