Use in different locations/connection methods
« on: December 10, 2012, 11:10:04 am »
Good Morning,
Firstly, great program, been using it now for a few years, so much better than many others out there that i havent even looked to see what else is being released  ;)

I have a question regarding the security/no sharing feature.....

I'm in the uk, and usually use alt.binz on a cable internet connection from home, however, i have recently changed my cell phone service supplier, and switched to one that does more in the way of internet access, and on my new contract i can tether my laptop, and have an 'all you can eat' data plan, so i am not restricted now in what i use the connection for :)

I know there is some sort of check system to ensure that alt.binz and relevant login details are not shared out, and, I did not give it much thought until yesterday, when i went to the uk lottery website, and it gave me a warning about playing from outside the uk, because they could not tell from the ip address that i was in the uk.

Am i going to have a problem using Alt.Binz on my laptop on both my cable connection, and also when tethered to my phone ??


Thanks for any help offered.

There shouldn't be any problems. Try all connections and then contact me and I'll take a look on this end.

ok, managed to get some tests done this morning - before my home connection failed !! - so i'm posting here from my tethered connection via my cell phone :)

ok, by time order, Usenet connections from Alt.Binz mixed, but either Astraweb SSL servers or the Virgin Media servers, all times GMT

0739-0741 - Home Cable Connection, Wired link via router
0744-0831 - Tethered Connection via Phone
0833-0839 - Home Cable Connection, WiFi link to router
0839-0840 - Tethered Connection via Phone
0848-0858 - Home Cable Connection, Wired link via router

oh, that's a bit of a fail then lol

ok, what i will do is grab something via Alt.Binz when i am well away from my home network and at work on nights, then there should be no confusion or possibility of me being on both networks, i'll get back to you over the weekend, as that's when i'm working nights
