   Not sure what you mean by strange activity, but as far as I can tell everything is normal with your account.

   Why do you think your pagekite is running? As far as I can tell, it is not.
   
   Note however that PageKite uses normal DNS for naming, and DNS is a distributed and highly cached system - your local ISP may have stored some DNS information about your kite name that is no longer valid and may be showing you different results from what we see at our end. This is sadly just how the Internet works and is out of our control.
   
   To complicate things further, you seem to have manually changed the IP address of your kite's public DNS name at some point, pointing it to some site which has nothing to do with the PageKite service at all. We provide this option for advanced users who want to manually direct their .pagekite.me names to servers under their own control. However, if you use this option, you're not really using PageKite anymore.
   
   If you changed this setting without understanding what it does, then the expected result is that your requests for your website will go to some random place and you'll be getting some random reply. Confusing as this may be, that is actually *normal*. :-)
   
   We may have to look into adding some warning signs or even hiding the IP address modification feature, it's probably very confusing to people who don't know the ins and outs of DNS and HTTP and PageKite itself.

    1) 178.79.140.143 is the PageKite service front-end in London. This is the IP address chosen by pagekite.py because it is closest to you and provides the lowest latency. For privacy reasons the PageKite service does not record or display your personal, private IP address anywhere.
    
    2) Every account needs to have at least one kite name associated with it, so even if you disable it, it won't go away completely. Disabling in this case just means "remove from DNS so it disappears from the Internet" - but note that DNS changes can take hours or even days to propagate globally. If you then pagekite.py to connect a disabled kite name, it will simply re-enable it automatically as it cannot work without it.
    
    3) The "only connected ..." message suggests that pagekite.py discovered that your name was associated with multiple front-ends and it is trying to reestablish communication with all of them. If you manually changed your front-end IP using the /home/ interface to an IP not belonging to the PageKite service, then it will fail to make a connection. This is usually not a problem in practice.
    
    4) If you are certain that you never changed the IP address of your kite using the online web interface, then it is possible that someone has gained access to your account and is playing tricks on you. If you think that is the case, I recommend changing your password as soon as possible.
