Making internet usage private and secure as possible?
    #22210347 - 09/09/15 12:18 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

What sort of software/precautions do you use for your internet usage?  I do not do much outside of light torrenting that would concern me in my situation, but I am curious what other use to keep themselves safe/anonymous?

I don't think he's talking about virus protection.

I don't do anything. I don't do anything to warrant a need for it. I have no problem letting the government watch my weird tentacle porn with me.

I also torrent a ton of shit. My seeding accumulation on the tracker I use now is like 7TB. My down is 1. something TB.

I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

Damn. I assume you are running multiple drives?  Any solid state?

No multiple drives and it's a cumulative total. I looked, down is 1.78TB. My HDD now is only 1TB (and that's before OS and shit) I have no idea what my entire total of torrenting would be, that's the only site (I use) that tracks it. It's probably 3-5x that much.

I use Kaspersky IS to see every incoming/outgoing port, and which executable is using it. its far and away the best 'anti virus' software. but it does way more than protect from viruses.

you'd be suprised how many innocuous programs that come installed on windows transmit data online when they have no reason to be. same goes with third party software like VLC, or cheap-o antiviruses like McAffee. they export data when they have no reason to and Kaspersky is an easy way to block it

Buy a VPN, they're pretty cheap and then use a download something like TOR. Pretty sure the vpn hides your ip address but better to check with someone who knows a bit more on this stuff but its a start.

Tor an Gpg hides your ip and identity stops 3rd parties from seeing who you really are.

Dunno how you can't find benzos. Those shits are everywhere. They're not always reasonably priced though. I remember one person trying to sell bars for 6 a piece..  :hahthatscute:

Note: this was at least 5+ years ago. Back when everyone sold them 2 for 5.

Cheap drugs are on the darknet markets. To your door in an envelope dropped in your mailbox, can't beat it.

Tor is the best for browsing but you have to turn off javascript. A vpn is a good idea, pgp is very good. Beware of using a vpn with tor to buy drugs and stuff. The vpn sees all your traffic, don't forget that.

To avoid malware and or remove it, use malware bytes, zone alarm is a good free firewall, spybot search and destroy is another good free malware remover. Avoid windows 10, it phones home all the time with your info. Microsoft the evil behemoth sends updates now with spyware to win 7 or 8. I found it on my updates, you can delete it but you have to know its there.

A router is a good idea with a built in firewall. My zone alarm tells me when something is trying to access the internet and tips me off. I've seen a microslop program do it lots of times and I always say no. Be careful with wifi, it will broadcast your browsing if they have a pickup close to you.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

You don't need to do anything much, OP. Just don't open any files that you don't fully trust and don't click any links that you don't fully trust. If you're worried about getting caught torrenting something here or there, don't. You might get a cease and desist e-mail at the worst. If it becomes a problem, get a membership to a private tracker.
