Title: could it be possible to safely d-dos with a vpn
Post by: nonbody on August 29, 2015, 09:15:46 AM
the program Low orbit ion attack allows you to launch a d-dos, it is however very traceable, if i were to launch it via a VPN would i be safe ?
i purely asking out of curiosity, or am i ;)

it's safe if the VPN u r using doesn't keep logs, but i doubt it, ALL VPNs keep logs even they deny it, so basically it's not safe with a VPN

Please give us a proof that ALL VPNs keep logs. (I know you can't)

Nobody can tell you if you would stay safe because
  • you don't know if the VPN keep logs even the VPN promises not to log.
  • it depends if you configured your network properly. Example check list question: What happens if the VPN connection breaks down during the attack?
  • if you're doing UDP flooding over VPN, it's possible that you're crashing the VPN service itself because of NAT space exhaustion, possibly inducing further investigation by the VPN service.

There's always some form of digital trace on anything you do on the internet and since you're clearly planning something I'm not about you how to avoid that and I doubt anyone who knew what they were talking about would either for all we know you're going to target Bitcointalk.
