    Hi,
    Trying to avoid a certain website from knowing where I am, so was advised to avoid using sequential IP addresses, in simple terms, how can I do this? I was also told to not use default ports, how do I do this? Finally, I was advised to use good passwords, what does this mean?
    Thanks for the help! Also, anybody know if there's any way to set up a VPN on Amiko Alien 2+?

    Rubbish.
    I was also told to not use default ports

    Also rubbish.
    Finally, I was advised to use good passwords, what does this mean?

    Not familiar with the Amiko Alien. A quick google tells me its a linux based media player.

    Whats the website? If you don't want it to know where you are maybe don't use it?

    The two best solutions for online anonymity, are a VPN or tor.
