Title: VPN honeypot, please repost this in 'security', thank you a lot
Post by: 12346543 on April 30, 2013, 11:52 am
hello, i urge someone to repost this in the security thread as i made a new account for this.

each time I connect to a 'privateinternetaccess.com' vpn server in France, my apparent IP is located in the United States, Virginia. 37.59.34.218 is the IP address.
The IP was reported as a honeypot in th "projecthoneypot" database.
This is highly disturbing and I would appreciate a statement from someone. Is this a clue that my system is compromised or is what are some other ideas? if i connect to a vpn server in another country from privateinternetaccess.com, the ip seems to be fine. I only get this connecting to their server in france.

Thank you very much for your answers

I am also using Private Internet Access, they are probably the best VPN out there.

Sometimse when I post on 4chan, it says "You are Banned" and it says why, but it is because someone else was using the same IP in order to spam or whatever. Kind of sucks, I hope they add more IPs, because a lot of jack asses are using them for bad things and ruining the whole IP for anyone who uses it after them.

Fuckers are burning the bridges.

but connecting to their server in france and then finding out my ip belongs to a server in the USA and is listed as a honeypot is quite disturbing.
whatsmyipaddress shows the IP to be in the USA, butwhen i click on the "additional ip details" button it shows to be in france as expected.
