Need help with hiding IP w/ proxy switcher + change MAC address

[ilvae]

This is the sequence I've tried to hide my original IP address:
I ran command prompt ipconfig /all and then used Change MAC Address
then I launched FreeSafeIP and connected to a random IP.
When I loaded basic anon servers on Proxy Switcher Standard and connected to a working alive SSL, somehow my IP only shows up as the one I've chosen on FreeSafeIP.

Any tips?

Why would you want to change your MAC address ?

I suggest you read up on how TCP/IP, proxies and tunneling, and networking in general works. Your proxy is only as good as the proxy provider logging policy, what information the proxy transports from your end to the real end and its capacity. Your MAC is only important if you are not on your own network/behind Router/NAT.

If you want tips. Stop using public or for-rent proxies/VPN's and set up your own, that way making sure there are absolutely no logs on the tunneling server. Additionally, depending on what you want to do with your fresh proxy. Get another one and another one and [insert needed privacy level here * another one] and link them up.




EDIT:

There are many reasons to change your MAC address. If you are on an unfamiliar/public network OR someone else gets access to your network, your MAC can reveal your identity.

Yes I know that, that was sarcastic because in this scenario it doesnt make any sense, thought ppl would understand.
As in this case the MAC address of the modem will be displayed because the stuff is NATed.

I've heard of USB adapters that could change the MAC address, as well as changing the IP of my router from my local ISP. Thoughts, sage?

As ande stated, go study and come back later.
Your questions are of no meaning nor will the awnser be.

I think you have no idea how anything works. Read up on the OSI model and how your gateway access the internet/global stuff.

Proxx is kinda right here and so is Ande. The internet see's the MAC of your modem, but with the right tunneling your modem's IP and mac can be hidden. And the internet in general can't see anything but your global IP.

But since you ran ipconfig, you might be a little fucked  there. since you ran that command in a CLI envirionment, everyone can see your global IP and MAC address. I have to say though it wouldn't be so bad but you did the /all switch, so all can see what is going on behind the NAT. Might want to get some antivirus bro. You just rootkitted your self on that one. People will TROLL, you and their FACE will be behind a walled garden. Might want to RICK your iptables and ROLL the trolls to fend for themselves.

(*) - The layer 2 or MAC address, only can be important to a local netowrk or to a ISP.
Maybe to startup, you can execute a tool, that close a tunnel SSL to another network where you can browser, how for exemple
- Hotspot Shield
- Super Hide IP

Also is possible try use a project "Whonix" that use the network Tor.

Depending on the purpose of concealing his identity in the navigation, you can search for a wifi with wep to be opened or seek people with superpowers cow le grant access to underground through some ISP.

A virtual machine can easily be changed through the mac address of the virtual machine configurations. A Linux box too.

Recalling that a mac address contains the first octet information for the manufacturer, so it is advisable to change this information prudently.

For example if you use a virtual machine to navigate through the site on a local network, can quickly identify the machine by mac because virtual machines have this identification in the first octet, so it might be interesting to change the MAC to confuse an administrator who is identifying this source, perhaps with a mac spoofing.

 I have a good imagination, I speak only for study purposes.

....herp...

Tor is as good as the nodes that host it.

Wardriving lulz. Beagleboard FTW.

macchanger -r on le local, you will need to hack the firmware of the gateway if on a res ISP account if WAN is the mac you need to spoof. But grabbing the firmware updates then binwalking them to find stuff/getting what you need to continue is the route as per WAN.

Will often result in a denial of service, I tried this with a couple of ISP's/modems only came to one conclusion, there is often additional protection server side.
At least thats where I live.

Yeah I've realized the stupidity of this post like... a week later when I forgot to check back and found the solution myself a while ago. >______< /facepalm
