Hello everyone,
I'm at my wits end here, I have been working on this problem for weeks and it is getting a bit frustrating. I think that there have got to be others out there who are trying to do the same thing. Essentially, here is the situation:
I have several seller accounts on ebay. These accounts are in my name and also the names of friends. I like to have several accounts running as it diversifies things. To keep the IPs separate, when I want to work on my own ebay account, I simply login to ebay here at home. When I want to work on my friends' ebay accounts, I have to drive to a library or a coffeeshop and login there to work (they have a different, constant IP than what I have at home). What I want to do is end this nonsense, and set up a remote access point with a dedicated IP address so that no matter where I am in the world, I can always go through that remote access and access ebay with a constant IP, so that it will always look like I am signing in from the same location.
In order to do this, I found a nice little tutorial in the first post which can be viewed here:
How to setup your own VPN Server - eBay Suspension & Paypal Limited Forums
Essentially, it is saying to rent a VPS, and then set up a VPN within that VPS. From there, the VPN will apparently maintain the same IP and it is a unique IP address so it should be safe to use.
I followed all the instructions in that post, but am stuck on the final step #5. I have already rented a VPS and set up a VPN, etc, but I don't understand how to physically begin "using" that IP. How do I actually begin the process of "browsing" the Internet through my newly-setup VPN? I feel like I am very close to accomplishing this goal, any help there would be greatly appreciated!
