Can using Wi-Fi at a public place be traced?

If I were using an iPod (not iPhone), and I connected to free Wi-Fi at a place like Starbucks, will it be easy to figure out whose iPod was used? Meaning, if I sent someone a message on Facebook, can they trace the IP address and find exactly where I was and what I used to send the message? Will my name from my iPod be attached to it?

Yes, only if you are using an I.Pod.

Yes it could be easily traced by someone else at the starbucks, the ISP (Internet Service Provider) tracks everything for legal purposes, Thats why they invented VPN (virtual private network). This makes a proxy for everything you do online, VPN's make it appear as you are from somewhere else like Jamaica or Canada. This also encrypts your data transfer from the server to your computer screen. Not even google can see what your up to! I know meany vpns but the best was surfeasy (surfeasy.com) they have a app what allows you to have vpn on your iPod, iPhone and iPad. When you have vpn enabled it looks like this on a iPhone (picture below) so you know your secure.

No. The associated fb account would be attached, but that is all, unless the government gets involved and gets a warrant for the info from fb. Then they would have the ip addressed of all the places you've logged in from on that account.

Sounds like you are trying to post anonymously or you are being devious. If it's illegal you'll get caught.

  • Using stolen Iphone.is it risky? Can you be traced? I hope to hear some technical explanations, not the moral lectures… there are just so many iphones being sold on the street without boxes, just the phone and the charger and the price is really so tempting… I'm really curios about the risks…
  • I want to set alert for public holidays on my iPhone but they're not being saved. How can I fix this? I've moved countries and still want to be reminded of events happening back home but every time I activate the alert on the calendar, it's mysteriously vanished when I look 5 minutes later. Any help would be appreciated. I want to set an alert…

  • How was this traced from another Iphone? I've got a add on contract to my sisters Iphone. Sent an IMessage to my girlfriend 3 weeks ago. I didn't think they were traceable but my sister plugged her iphone into the computer and somehow found my message to my girlfriend on there and could read it as well? It was only one message she could see though… We send iMessages all day. How on earth was it traced?! And withheld calls were listed as well? How the hell?
