See Why You Should Be Careful About What You Type On Nairaland About Politics by FatherOfJesus(op):
I'm a fullstack web developer and I have enough knowledge to educate you on this.
Anytime you make a request to nairaland server by typing nairaland website, the request comes with your IP address. Your IP address can be easily gotten from the nairaland application server in few seconds.

Your IP can be served to an IP geolocation tracker that can tell your country, city and even your current latitude. While they may not be 100% accurate all the time, they can give enough information to nail you.

For a website like nairaland that is in Nigeria, we all know that Nigeria is a lawless country. Nigeria government can compel nairaland to provide certain IP for some handles here if they wish to.

Only webapps like Facebook, X etc can protect your privacy.

Be careful what you say here if you are not always using a VPN.

Unfortunately Nigerian IPs aren't strong enough to give all this information since most of the IPs are shared.

I can be in Adamawa typing but looking up my IP you'd only see Lagos, Abuja or Rivers

If you say the truth, you will die.

If you don’t say the truth you will still die.

I have chosen to say the truth and die.

APC and their minions can go and hang.

Stop sounding dumb on my mentions.

How can you be creating dedicated monikers for over good 6 years trolling others on this forum yet it's the people you are trolling that are jobless.

Have you stopped thinking?

There are public IPs that are unique and there are private range of IP adresses that share few public ones within every ISP and internet linked network. There has to be a collabo between the ISP and Webhost to nail you. It is possible but not usually very easy. For Nairaland's case, it is much easier. We all know who calls the shot and where he probably frequents.

It wouldn't work on Nairaland. Ask yourself why Nairaland hasn't successfully banned bad actors on the platform by their IP.
Operamini, Kiwi, Aloha, etc in one phone have distinctive IPs.

Re: See Why You Should Be Careful About What You Type On Nairaland About Politics by Stephench:
Nobody uses IP geolocation. It's never accurate. All law enforcements know how they get people's assigned certain IPs. They simply go to the ISP and request for the user that was assigned certain IP at certain time and that's all.

Nairaland uses a service that detects when you're using an IP. They can ban bad IPs if they want but nobody uses a static IP

My problem with Nairaland is some mods. Some might pick and take offense while targeting you... They also sometimes get political and block some opinions.

But Nairaland is the real free speech zone.

US and EU have compelled Facebook, Twitter and others to provide personal information of users at different times. Don't be unfortunate in life like those before you by degrading Nigeria government so that Ogun no go kee your Mama

You're wrong.
As a web developer, you should know that there are few static IP addresses in Nigeria.
Most are are shared IPs.

The person saying he's 8 hours away from Nigeria can be easily tracked than someone from Nigeria.

If you're targeted and you are stupid enough to download attachments though, then you're a goner.
