Title: Will they be able to see my IP-address?
Post by: rebatugam on February 09, 2013, 03:14 pm
I want to download a program that connects to the internet. If I download this program on my own internet connection with firefox, then disconnect my internet connection, install the program on my computer and then go to a public wifi hotspot and start the program; will anyone be able to connect my own IP to the activity on/with this program?

I could download the program while using the wifi hotspot. But the thing is that it takes such a long time that I'd rather download it at home.

When you download something your computer won't write the IP address of your internet connection on the file. So your safe to download the file at home, and use it on the wifi hotspot.
