Security Level
In "Security Levels" what is the "Last Sign-in" section?
For security reasons, Alibaba.com automatically records your last sign-in including the time, IP address and IP location.
If the “Last Sign-in” information does not match your previous sign-in, please change your password immediately and check your postings, Inbox and Sent box.
What does "GMT" mean?
GMT means Greenwich Mean Time. GMT is where all world time is taken from – e.g. Beijing Time, China is +8 hours GMT.
Why does it show as "IP Location: Anonymous Proxy"?
This means that the account owner used an anonymous proxy server to sign in. Anonymous proxy servers are used to hide the IP address of the person accessing a site or to make it appear that they are coming from different geographical locations.
How can I check the location of an IP address?
You can check the location through a WHOIS search:
1.Go to a WHOIS search site such as www.dnsstuff.com or http://cqcounter.com/whois/
2.Enter the IP Address into the WHOIS search box (e.g. 121.0.31.184)
3.Click "WHOIS"
The registered location of the IP address will be shown in the results page.
