anyone else recieved this sort of message from the net provider ? the only thing i can think of is me skybox :whacko:
 
have you downloaded any music.my son got a similar letter from bt when he downloaded a music album.(he hasnt got any kind of box)
 
been using pirate bay for years and years yet only had a skybox a couple of month and this is the first time i have had an email like this. i just thought it might have somethin to do with skybox so double checking.
 
iam with plusnet, always use tpb and download a few every week, never had a letter. maybe you need a vpn ? to hide your ip. regards
 
A mate from work had a similar letter.. He been using the bay for years with no problems, then got expendables 3 from there and then got a letter.... Aint there a new law coming in that they send out 4 letters and then nothing happens??? i wouldnt worry about it too much..
 
do what most people do

change the ports on any software u use thats why flagged as they watch ports. I used to do it when i worked at blueyonder

port for 1214 for kazza, utorrent i think is 45000 to 63555 i changed to under 2000
 
Most of those software have an option to randomize the port anyway its usually the ISP who start blocking 'their' IP addresses from accessing certain sites like Bay. VPN apps cloak your IP in another country server which ISP's have no issue with, then they can't ban that IP.
 
VPN is how Chinese people get on Facebook when the state bans use. I just love how technology and people adaptation of it fucx's governments draconian laws.
I can't wait the day people start to realise they don't need a government anymore things gonna start running themselves.
 
Peerblock and Peer Guardian type apps block lists of IP addresses from connecting to your computer. Not a good idea to block your ISP from pinging their IP's. These apps are good at blocking known government IP address ranges FBI, MI6, Academic Institutions and such.
 
Oooppps!!! Cheers darkstar!!! I've been using peer block while downloading from certain sites.. Can u recommend other protection apps?? Cheers

So if u a 'bad man' these systems can identify who is consistently doing what. VPN -virtual private networking allows you to anonymise your usage or at least deflect it to the VPN address you are shielded behind. The real bad guys and supposedly 'good guys' use combo's of VPN, peer apps, hacking software to achieve their goals. Like Israeli intelligence they are danger I us people man they can do all sorts of things and be using 'YOUR' IP to do it so they don't get caught doing it!
