It takes a real dumbass to use google voice to send messages,
especially since your ip is logged as well as the location of the
caller. Also, even if you use a fake name, your ip and location are
still logged.
Not necessarily, Emmett. I can use my VPN to come from an IP address
anywhere in the world, including places like Bangkok and Warsaw.
ok tell me Wil, how big is your Bangkok?

I'd be most curious to know whether or not the javascript that makes the
google voice work in the first place winds up revealing the ACTUAL
originating IP address. All the VPN's, SSH tunnels, and TOR chains in
the world won't save you if that's the case...unless perhaps you're
running the web browser over VNC (or remote desktop, or X11 forwarding,
etc) with a tunnel going into that, and no way to link you to the box
actually running the web browser...

Anyway, I can't be bothered to check this out myself, but it might be
something to think about for anyone trying to make use of Google Voice
anonymously...
