This is not my main username I am posting under. With companies spying on people so much nowadays, here are some tips to keep your private habits private. 1- TOR (The Onion Router Network) chains connections through other anonymous users making back tracking impossible or really hard at least (cant use with VPN properly) 2- VPN (wont post companies so ask around) routes your connection through another computer, some are USA some are international. Websites and servers cannot tell who you are! They just see your VPN company 3- Adblock - Firefox/chrome plugin blocks ads based on where they are coming from. When your computer loads an ad, the ad company knows ur IP even if they dont own the site. 4- Noscript - similar to adblock but for scripts (hard to explain in few words) 5- Encryption (web browsing) - When browsing websites, use https:// instead of http:// will enable encryption and "scramble" website communications 6- Encryption (torrents) - Use utorrent 2.0 (not 3.0+) and enable encryption in options. Why its disabled i have no idea. 7- Encryption (instant messaging) Pidgin + OTR (off the record messaging plugin) uses encryption over AIM, MSN, yahoo etc 8- Do NOT LOGIN ANYWHERE! (google, TPB, mail) when you login, people can use that to identify you personally, so dont. 9- Separate computer - Make a dedicated computer that you never install programs on except the ones in this post, enter no personal information in it, and only use it for private browsing 10- Usernames and passwords - Always make different ones. Never repeat usernames, never repeat passwords. |

Another add-on for firefox that works super is "Do Not Track +." You get to see all the websites that try to attach cookies to you, attempts to block them, and informs you when it can't (facebook would be a prime example of this). | ||
