Hello
I don’t have a chatgpt account and just use it without. After some time it blocks access which is normal. But the strange thing is that it is also blocking access by displaying the “Welcome Back” page on other appvm’s (even with different templates) and even with disposables. Is the chatgpt.com site managing the fingerpring my computer so well that it can tell that all the different templates and appvm’s are coming from the same computer? Has anyone else noticed this?
I have tried multiple web browsers in multiple appvm’s - even web browser setup with noscript and ublock etc and it is still the same.
Any web endpoint, ChatGPT included, can see the source IP address of whatever is acting as a router on whatever network you are on.
You can use a VPN to “tunnel” to a VPN server which will emit a different source IP address from where the VPN server is running. A common VPN provider like Mullvad or NordVPN isn’t very useful for what you are trying to do because other users are trying to get more out of ChatGPT like you are using the source IP addresses of the VPN servers operated by those VPN providers. Many web site/platform operators also know where to find lists of IP ranges used by providers of VPNs or other kinds of proxy services.
If you really want to use ChatGPT that much then pay OpenAI for an account.
If you want to get more out of ChatGPT anonymously there are ways to do that but be prepared to pay a consultant (and be very patient with them) to assist you with that.
thanks de_dust2.
It isn’t that I am particularly bothered about being able to use chatgpt much I was just worried that somehow it was fingerprinting beneath the virtualisation. Glad to know it is just because of the network instead!
Can chatgpt track which router I am using. For example if I use a vpn on the same router then can it still see that even though the ip is different it is actually coming from the same network such as imei etc? Can it see that the wifi module in the computer is the same?
But as far as using chatgpt more anonymously is using a chatgpt proxy the only way?
There can be no privacy without security, since security vulnerabilities allow privacy measures to be circumvented. This makes Qubes exceptionally well-suited for implementing effective privacy tools.
Users concerned about privacy will appreciate the integration of Whonix into Qubes, which makes it easy to use Tor securely. For more information about how to use this powerful tool correctly and safely, please see Qubes-Whonix Guides.
So this forum is not the best for this discussion. I would also recommend first reading VM Fingerprinting
And then maybe asking in the whonix forum if anything questions that the documentatio did not help with.
good read, but that isn’t what is doing it. I use seperate templates with different OS. Must be because it is coming from the same network. I will experiment later with this.
Ha! I asked for something once and it obviously knew my location. Then on another ChatGPT session I asked how is it tracking my location - is it looking at my I? - and it blatantly lied. After ages of interrogating it I finally managed to get it to admit that it itself doesn’t track ip, but its web search stuff eg third party add-ons can do! It really glosses over this stuff.
