Re: [H] mask your IP with a changing one

2009-09-04 Thread Soren

I just read this whole thread, because it sounded like a wet teenage dream. 
Man, was I disappointed... ;)

Seriously, NONE of the suggested sites nor features will help anyone in 
anonymizing data.

For instance, let's take covertsurfer.com: It would not be my personal first 
choice regarding anonymity, to put it mildly.

They ask you to install a programme on your computer that you don't know what 
is.

Secondly, noone seems to have done a simple 'netstat -an' (same command on *nix 
and win32) while running this unknown programme.

And what about the DNS? Where is it going? To covertsurfer.com...?

They are sucking you for every bit of personal and demographic information, 
just to make a few bucks selling it to third-parties.

And you get double taken by paying for it!

Please, guys, please...


To try to answer the original question: yes you can, by choosing an ISP that delivers a DHCP service. In that manner you'll have a new IP every time you start your 
computer. Otherwise, forget it.


If you want to mask your local IP, you should look into a proxy server or something similar. As a proxy server usually runs on a separate system on your local network, 
this will take another computer to establish, but it will also add security to your personal system, whatever operating system you might use.

 Is there a way to repeatedly mask your real IP address with another 
random one, that changes every time you log into the same site. To 
clarify... a site tracks visitors by IP addresses. You log on but mask 
your real IP address and display another one that is randomly chosen 
,every time you log into a web site. So you could log into the same site 
numerous times in a day, each time with a new IP address.  It can be a 
free way or a paid way to do it.

I use CovertSurfer. You use their proxy servers and no one knows, including 
your ISP, where you are or what you are doing. All your ISP knows is that 
you are online. It even has a neat little box that tells you what others can 
see and it shows the outgoing IP. Where you have been doesn't even show up 
in your Temp Internet Files folder, even if you are on there for hours. You 
get NO cookies of any kind regardless of your settings and it has never 
affected a site that requires them. I've used it for 4 months now and am 
very happy with it. The that owns the site is in Florida and is a disabled 
vet and seems like a great guy.

I believe their severs are in Florida, where they are located, but I could 
be wrong. They are very responsive so you could ask them. If you subscribe 
and download to a USB drive you can go anywhere with it. As I said, they 
maintain no records of when or where you log in. I would suggest that you 
might go to their site at www.covertsurfer.com and look at the FAQ's. They 
have answers to a huge number of questions and a wealth of other information 
on the entire site. BTW, I was wrong about one item. They work with all 
major browsers, as well as their own browser. They explain all this.

Bill,

You bring up a great point. That is one very important thing that
CovertSurfer does, or I should say does not, do. I talked with the owner,
and as he said, and they publish, they do not know where you are going or
what you do. They do this so they cannot be subpoenaed against their
clients. They keep NO records. I wondered about SwissVPN, as well, because
they use standard browsers, CovertSurfer uses their own plug-in, which could
leave the user open in some way. I originally subscribed to an outfit that
was run by Russians. They had a client forum, which was a good idea, but it
created a lot of problems for them. They were being hacked by ISP's and the
movie/music Gestapo. They weren't furnishing any good answers which was
costing them customers.

You have to determine whether it is privacy you want, or anomymity. And what
you seem to be seeking is anonymity. Only you can answer: anonymity from
whom? That will ultimately determine your choice.

Tor might certainly fit the bill. It will achieve exactly what you need. And
it's free.

Personally, technically sound as they are, I would not touch SwissVPN. Read
their privacy policy. AFAIK, they will log your traffic. Your IP, indeed
will be masked from your destination. But SwissVPN will probably know who
you are and where you're connecting from. And that means your anonymity is
hosed.  Switzerland may also be a data retention country, but I'm not
certain. Also SwissVPN is a single-hop proxy.

Now if these aren't major concerns then go with them.

As far as I'm concerned, the cream of the crop these days is Xerobank.

Re: [H] mask your IP with a changing one

2009-08-16 Thread Brian Weeden
I stay away from services that require additional software or special
dialers to connect.  It means that I can only use them on machines where I
have installed it, which may not always be the case.  And I wouldn't let any
software made by some shady group in Russia within 10 feet of my PC.  That's
just asking for trouble.  Besides, if you're really being paranoid, unless
the dialer is open source how do you know it doesn't have a backdoor?

If you're really paranoid about this there's another service called
Relakks<https://www.relakks.com/?lang=eng&cid=gb>that I have used as
well.  From their legal FAQ:

"For security reasons RELAKKS do not use any American software neither for
encryption nor for any other part (we anticipate that most users will in
spite of that use an American OS), but there is noting stopping an advanced
user from accessing RELAKKS with a more secure operating system or use a
specific VPN-client. Not that this is not at the moment supported by RELAKKS
customer care.

* *ELAKKS Safe Surf enjoys the strongest legal protection possible under
Swedish Law because of the service type (pre-paid flat-rate service). This
means that RELAKKS do not have to keep an ordinary customer database (to be
able handle transactions etc.). This is of importance if forced to hand over
information.

If Swedish authorities can prove beyond reasonable doubt that they have a
case for demanding subscription information from RELAKKS (they have to be of
the opinion that if convicted the user will be imprisoned – fined not
enough). .

RELAKKS then have to hand over the subscription information entered by you
(but that’s all). RELAKKS do not store any subscription information about
you except what you entered yourself when signing up for the RELAKKS Safe
Surf service."

TOR is on paper the best bet for anonymously routing but it does have
issues.  For one, it can be excruciatingly slow because of the number of
addition hops and encryption/decryptions that each packet needs to
undertake.  Plus, it is not entirely secure.  Gov't types have been known to
operate their own TOR routers and if your data exists one of those they can
do some interesting packet analysis, especially if they are also watching
the packet traffic between your machine and the beginning of the TOR
network.  TOR has basically made itself a very inviting target, which
usually means it's just a matter of time before weaknesses are found.

For more on TOR I highly recommend this Security Now! episode:
http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-070.htm

Also, please remember that none of these VPN or proxy services are
encrypting the basic data.  If you're using a VPN, the traffic between your
machine and the VPN network is encrypted, but then it's decrypted and
dropped on the net.  The only way to counter this is either make sure you
are talking to the final destination using https or self-encrypting your
data.

Yeah, right... that is what I asked for ... except not my IP address 
and not the same one each time.

I don't think so because it strips the IP. I want to hide it but
replace it with a random IP address.

Another option is to use a service like Swiss VPN.  They give you a VPN
tunnel from your PC to their network.  Then they swap your IP for one of
theirs and that is the IP that is out connecting to other machines and
websites.  As far as anyone can tell, you're coming from Switzerland.  I
think you get a different IP each time you connect/disconnect the service
but they are probably all coming from the same pool.  There is a monthly fee
but it's not too bad and well worth it if this is something important to
you:

I use them whenever I am traveling or working from open WiFI hotpots.

I use CovertSurfer. You use their proxy servers and no one knows, including 
your ISP, where you are or what you are doing. All your ISP knows is that 
you are online. It even has a neat little box that tells you what others can 
see and it shows the outgoing IP. Where you have been doesn't even show up 
in your Temp Internet Files folder, even if you are on there for hours. You 
get NO cookies of any kind regardless of your settings and it has never 
affected a site that requires them. I've used it for 4 months now and am 
very happy with it. The that owns the site is in Florida and is a disabled

You always need an IP. Whatever you do on the Internet, or on a TCP/IP
network, you need an IP address. You can't just trip it, you have to replace
it with something that can be used for routing across the Internet.

This is what the proxy does.

I know there are a few IT gurus in HWG so if there is a way to do 
this, you guys will know it.

  Is there a way to repeatedly mask your real IP address with another 
random one, that changes every time you log into the same site. To 
clarify... a site tracks visitors by IP addresses. You log on but 
mask your real IP address and display another one that is randomly 
chosen ,every time you log into a web site. So you could log into the 
same site numerous times in a day, each time with a new IP 
address.  It can be a free way or a paid way to do it.

thanks
