[QUOTE="archon212, post: 1678372, member: 361406"] That helps a lot, thank you. Maybe you could further clarify for me: turning off all sharing features simply means having all of the listed things to share unchecked in the relevant section in system preferences? And one other question about my IP and/or MAC identification if you know: I'm using a VPN service which I assume hides both of those from others on a network? The problem in the past I've had is that when using an IP scanner, I see my device listed twice - once with the real IP and once with the proxy. The VPN provider was useless in telling me whether or not the real once was only visible to me, or if both could be detected by others using a scanner. Any ideas? And is a scanner the usual means that someone would use if they were looking for your IP/MAC ID? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
