@linuxxx vpn to block the ISP from spying me and giving me a new (additional) IP address.
elite proxy to get a new IP without to respond outcoming requests asking who I am.
Think it as a second security layer.
At the end. I will have 3 IP addresses. If the proxy ever reveals my identity, it will be the identity of the VPN. Then I only have 2 IPs left. And since I am switching my user agent every 5 minutes and blocking everything I don't want to be received or send, it is more secure. -
@gitpull I think this sounds good, let me call in someone who might know more about this than me :).
(@PerfectAsshole) -
@gitpull a socks proxy can take the place of a vpn so it's the same as running a chain of vpns so it is a good hide on your ip address. One thing to note though is that if javascript isn't disabled its possible for a script to get your home ip address skipping the socks proxy and vpn.
As for randomizing the useragent. Make damn sure they are common valid useragent strings otherwise you are easily trackable cause of a unique useragent -
@PerfectAsshole how about using vpn (system wide) + https proxy (browser) only and sending my password to enter the debRant (SSL) login form?
-
@PerfectAsshole btw how do you even get such a chain to work. I have seen programs like Widecap (system wide), but then I would have to block my VPN (also system wide) connection to use it.
Afaik using proxy chain is like :me->proxy0->proxy1->proxyn->server
or does it randomly pick a working one and directly connect to the server without even putting all proxies in serial?
+ Don't worry. I am blocking everything. Only css and graphics are allowed by standard. :) -
@gitpull as long as you don't use a http proxy you're pretty much fine.
A vpn chain isn't really that hard atleast i chained two vpns pretty easily by just launching the openvpn client from the command line in the order i wanted. If you want a https or socks chain it's going to be alittle extra work cause i don't believe there is a program written yet that will do it for you
Since, I am already using Mullvad's vpn service, I also stumbled on https proxies.
Is it still safe to enter my devRant login data, when I would use a https proxy in FF's settings?
The Proxy is a free elite https proxy.
And devRant also uses SSL.
The traceroute would seem like this I guess.:
VPN(*le me sendin my password -> SSL Proxy -> SSL DevRant)
--------------------
Following that path, I would assume that it would be like this in detail:
HTTPS Request
-PW gets encrypted by VPN service
-" " " again " HTTPS Proxy
-" " " again " devRant itself
