Bouncing IP addresses

'ello. I have a fairly good grasp of zMUD and MUDding. However, i am not by far a guru. I was wondering how i would go about bouncing a character through another IP address before logging it onto my MUD. any help is greatly apreciated. thanks

Well, if you have access to a unix account (common at most universities) then it is fairly easy. Simply connect to the unix account and from there telnet to your mud.

Buy time from an ISP that will give you
telnet access to one of their servers and
which you can telnet out of.
I paid a flat fee for 15 hours dial up
(for the entire year) to a certain ISP
which allows me to telnet to it and telnet
out to a mud.
Say no to multiplayers :P

AOL dial up is hard to track from a Mud admin
point of view I believe.
I forget what kinds of dial up pool numbers
showed up in the ip logs.
I have never participated in trying to ban
a portion of AOL dial up users myself.
Maybe someone can shed light on that.
[aside]
The ISP I paid for allows me to log in twice
to a mud with 2 different IPs at the same
time.

AOL dial up is hard to track. Unfortunately, this leads admins to ban entire domains like *aol.com to deal with a few troublemakers. Forced a bunch of our problem children to install cable, which is MUCH easier to block specific people.

What you want is a tunnel, a free shell account, or a proxy.
Google up 'free shell'. Many but not all restrict outbound telnet or other services.
Remember that you get what you pay for, and you have a greater risk of being snooped for things like passwords with freebies than real commercial ISPs. This is drifting a bit off-topic for zMud support- there are much better places to get help on issues like this, especially now that you have the appropriate keywords.

Ask your ISP whether they have a socks5 server. If they do, go find sockscap32 online. Hmm, I think you can use the proxy setting in zmud now. I haven't done that since 4.62. :(
