How can websites tell if you have multiple accounts? (Oracle

Post by kentucky7887 »

So I have Oracle box with 2 virtual computers running xp with one isp. I tried to add a thrid computer from the one isp but after a couple weeks they banned all 3 of my accounts. I reopened 2 accounts from one isp and I haven't had a problem being banned. I guess they allow 2 accounts per "household".

I want to continue running Virtual box with 2 more computer but add a mobile wifi hot spot to work as another isp. So I'll have a total of 4 virtual machines and 2 ISP's coming from one real desktop.

Is there a way for a company to see that all 4 virtual computers are really virtual computers and that the information is really coming from one computer? or would the fact that I'm using 2 ISPs make it look like they are more than one household.

Why would they care? It's not within their remit to dictate how many PCs you have in your home, nor how many are real or virtual. All they care about is bandwidth on a particular channel on their switches/routers, and who is paying for it.
