Title: Checking a DCN
Post by: elementoneniner on February 09, 2012, 04:28 pm
I know your not supposed to check DCN's through TOR because it's a red flag to postal inspectors or something along those lines...but I was wondering if any veteran buyers/sellers out there had any other tips for checking DCN's? Like should I be going to the internet cafe and paying in cash to check this shit or can I just check it from my computer? I suppose there would be some issues of deniability if they kept a log of IP addresses that checked the DCN and your computer was on there...any ideas? Am I being overly paranoid here?

tl;dr
Best way to check DCNs?

I check my DCNS on VPN+Socks5, but the idea of it does bring some level of paranoia to myself I have checked DCN on Clearnet

Just check it on clearnet.

99.99% of usps tracking requests are for legitimate packages, so don't use tor or anything to make your tracking check appear anything out of the ordinary.

Technically it wouldn't be really hard to log which IP has checked which tracking number. If you want to be able to deny ever knowing about the package, I wouldn't risk getting my IP on that possible list. If you have access to a (semi-) public computer, I'd use that. The best would be to not check it at all and just wait a couple of days and let it arrive.

Just check from the free wi-fi at Starbucks or something.
