Title: Recieved an email from safemail account. How do I find senders location?
Post by: Isop on April 01, 2012, 07:07 am
Got an email from someone using a safemail account.  I need to findout his location.  I typed the IP address from the email header into an IP address lookup but it shows someplace in israel which the sender is obvioulsy not from. 

Can it be done?

He/She is likely using a VPN or SOCKS5 proxy. Both easily conceal your location by routing your connection through another ISP.

I do not know how well it works but have you thought about www.spypig.com?

I have used it in the past myself with gmail accounts and it has worked ok, YMMV.

HOW IT WORKS:
Quote
Every internet server has access to the ip addresses of the clients (users) who open pages or files located on the server, the ip address is necessary for communication between them to happen. What this page does, is allow users to read the ip addresses from the log after their uploaded picture has been opened. To view the recorded log for your image, enter image filename, folder name and password in the "Access image log" box. (Similar to a normal login form)
