Title: Hiding your identity
Post by: picolo on March 15, 2015, 12:57:23 AM
It is very long, hard and exhausting to hide its identity.

Isn't it so much easier to use one or two emails, google chrome, cookies, web history with no vpn than Tor ?

How are you going to hide your identity if you don't use a VPN or tor? Tor is pretty simple to set up and use as well, though browsing via it is obviously a bit slow. If you want to remain anon then there are always going to be a few hoops you have to jump through but that's the price you have to pay for anonymity unfortunately.

What about your IP address? Without using a VPN or Tor, your IP address would be visible in plain sight which is definitely not what I'd call "anonymous". Chrome's incognito mode does nothing to hide your IP since it only disables browsing history and web cache.

What about your phone and credit card?

I use this chrome extension called Blur (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blur/epanfjkfahimkgomnigadpkobaefekcd).

What are your anonymity tools?

Change IP, and machine name every logon, never login to 'mainstream' companies like google, facebook, microsoft etc..

Your machine name, pc mac address, and ip are your online ID.

Keep in mind, the isp knows who you are, unless you use someone else's wifi, or a haxorwared modem, but then, the first two points are still necessary ;)

your online email address will stick you in.

Your fone shows me where you are, gps aint as secure as most other resource's.. again, keep in mind, even if you turn gps off, your fone still receive's signals via cellphone tower's and triangulation methods can pinpoint you to within 30 feet

Most folks are unaware isp's now record everything, meaning all your attempts at hiding are futile.

Why hide, you aint that ugly.. ffs, you coulda warned me and my mirror lol..
