Can my IP address be traced if I use a VPN?VPN is not an ISP… they are however using an ISP. Encryption doesn’t hide tracking… every route needs an IP Address. So yes, your real IP address can be tracked when you use a vpn.Usually, the IP address is enough to trace the connection back to the ISP (Internet Service Provider). Generally, ISPs will work with law enforcement in cased of known fraud or theft. They usually require a warrant, but that is usually not difficult for law enforcement to get.Can the police track a VPN?Simple, they can see if you are connecting to a VPN server, courtesy of your ISP. They approach the VPN company and ask them to monitor you. If the VPN company is under their jurisdiction or would simply cooperate then they can hand over your activity logs. … These companies can track you even if you use VPN.Can the police track an email address?At most, the results of the trace will show you the origination IP and the computer name that sent the email. … IP address location information DOES NOT contain your street name, house number, or phone number. The trace will most likely determine the city and the ISP the sender used.Can the police track someone via their skype address?Using Skype doesn’t completely hide your identity. Although many things on the Internet are anonymous, your Skype calls aren’t. Not only can the Skype service track your calls, but the people whom you call can also track some basic information.Ask yourselves how Paedophiles are caught. If you commit a crime online like cyber bullying and revenge porn, anything that is deemed a crime you can be prosecuted for, do not believe that a VPN will necessarily protect you.If the victim is determined to report the crime, the police will listen.
A friend who is pretty tech smart was explaining this the other month. Obviously people use VPN’s for various reasons, and VPN companies are not quick to give up information on their users because they would get a reputation for not protecting peoples privacy, ( the whole point of using one ) however… when it comes to dodgy activity such as paedophilia and revenge porn they will readily hand over the info requested, partly out of a moral duty but also they realise the Law can very easily get a warrant anyway, so its easier to co-operate.
Even if they don’t hand it over, it’s still possible to do end to end packet matching to determine your real IP address, but it’s unlikely that anyone except GCHQ or the CIA would have the resources to do it.
you are both so correct
when your best mate can supply the ip vpn address

don’t be silly
are you trying to say that some crimes are going to be just ignored as they are not worthy of CIA interest?
They will look into revenge porn and into the people who went along with it.
They will take into count the ip addresses from all those concerned who didn’t just post them up but who goaded and encouraged them to do so.#
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, I thought that was what you were referring to.
