How can websites tell when I'm using a VPN?

It's really quite easy. No, a VPN is not untrackable.

If you are a webmaster there is a website you can go to to get the 'tables' that ALL VPN's in existence use. Every single one. It's very easy to block every single VPN with just a few code changes on your server.

Some sites say the track for VPN, but they don't really. Some Audio websites which I won't mention. They just try to frighten you. I go there all the time through a VPN. Not blocked once. It only takes 0.2 seconds to work this out server side for them.

Every single VPN in the world is in this list/table. Every single website you visit will know this, whether they tell you or not. Some play 'cat and mouse'.

It's the 21st Century. The internet has been mastered. Your microphone is always on. So is your camera. Even when you turn it off. They can use 'inverse conduction' to get your speakers to act as a microphone. Good luck turning your speakers off! Every single word you type is logged and stored for future retrieval. Why did you think hard disk prices aren't coming down? Every conversation you have on a landline phone is recorded for later retrieval. Every email...

Of course they know when you are using a VPN, it's just that a lot of sites don't bother to enforce it, because their sites wouldn't work otherwise. They don't even need your IP address these days anyway with machine and browser finger-printing.

Everything you do. Everything you have ever done. Has been stored in perpetuity.

One last time.

Every single website on all the internet knows when you are connecting with a VPN. Some play dumb, some even lie. But they all know. If a website does not want you to connect with a VPN, then it can block you. If it doesn't, then it's because it is probably tracking you and correlating the IP tables with other sites to get a better fingerprint of your machine and browsing habits.

The internet has been around a long time. Every single chip has a mini Operating System in it based on Linux - Minux. IME or AMD equivalents. It works when the computer is off via your ethernet Cat 5 cable.

They know who you are. They know what you are doing. They have known for a longer time than it took you to figure out that they were doing this. They lied and said that they wouldn't. But they did. And in the mean time, any person of interest can have his whole life laid bare, not least because just about every internet connection is coupled with a physical phone line - they have also been recording all your conversations. They said they didn't. But they did. They lied. See the UK Telecommunications act of 1980, where they finally admitted it, albeit only decades later. Most people don't read the small print. Most people don't even know it is there. Admit it, you didn't either. Neither did I. And neither did 99 percent of people reading this post.

Welcome to the future.

Really, you think they don't know when you are using a VPN?

They do.

Once again, some play dumb. Some just lie.

It's a very very easy thing to figure out, server level, and just block, and any webmaster worth his salt will know how to do this.

Haha, sorry man, but you dont seem to know more than things you heard on the internetz. Btw Who is "they"?

"Minux" in all chips?? All IPs can be tracked to Phone lines? The 80s called and wanted its main source of connection back ;). Sorry i dont want to be rude, but you dont seem to have real technical insights or real life experience.

Funny read though. Like reading one of those "vaccines are bad because I did research on da interwebz."

Working in the field for more than 20 years so I kind of know what can be done, what is realisticly done by websites, governments and ISPs. All emails cant be saved either. You would need access to all routers in the entire country to do that. Or pass all traffic through routers you control. That is not how it works in real life. Well in China etc maybe. But not in democratic countries.

No, all phone calls are not recorded. Same goes for IP transmissions. Court order needed for the Police to able to actually record, and only for "hard" crimes. May differ from country to country but most democratic countries have this law.

I dont have time for a lecture on all the things you mentioned.. sorry.

Take care!
