I’ve been using some available on the Internet but recently they all look the same and they all ask for CAPTYA which is an obvious attempt to obtain ones true IP.
I’m new to privacy and hoping to learn more.
https://ifconfig.me/. Can also be be
curl’d.Easier to remember is to just search for
what is my ipin clear net DuckDuckGo (or Kagi if you have it).they all ask for CAPTYA which is an obvious attempt to obtain ones true IP.
How exactly is a CAPTCHA supposed to discover your “true IP”?
Also note that your IP address is by far not the only thing used to fingerprint you. See https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/ and https://browserleaks.com/.
Use TOR browser if you want your starting conditions to be reasonably anonymous.
Even more critical for fingerprinting is user behaviour though.
Perhaps I was misinformed about CAPTYA gathering the true IP?
What? I’ve never heard such a thing. CAPTCHA is to make sure bots can’t get past. Humans only.
Who gets asked to solve a CAPTCHA depends, in this case I bet you connected to an exit node known to the system as a bad actor and everyone using that exit gets asked.
Try refreshing your TOR circuit and use a different exit node. Could help.
Thank you.
Logging in to Kagi is a great way to deanonymize yourself on Tor.
That’s not what I discussed in this comment. On TOR browser, you don’t need some other service to tell you your public IP address as you can see the address of the exit node in your browser.
https://ipleak.net/ is one that I use.
