This setting sets the variable HTTP_DNT=1 in your browser's HTTP header. I'd say it's a good feature for compliant websites that actually obey...
If properly configured, Comodo will accomplish this perfectly; no need for any other 3rd party app. For example: Allow IP In/Out From In...
The safe-inet.com front-facing website is indeed hosted in Switzerland, while the underlying insorg.org domain/sub-domains are hosted in Russia....
DNS queries don't require the full URL... only the "www.domainname.com" portion. Everything else in the URL string after the TLD (Top-level...
DNS is not capable of logging "all your web browsing". All DNS does is resolve domain names to IP addresses. This is not the sort of thing that...
For all practical purposes, your internal IP doesn't exist until you're assigned one by the public wifi access point... so yeah, it definitely...
Because that's what the purpose of this forum is -- to discuss users' experiences with various privacy-related products and services. :wacko:
Thanks for the link. For those who want to take an even more aggressive approach to doing away with social integration, I'd recommend the...
That's a fallacy. For 90%+ of customers using a large ISP, those first two "blocks" of the IP address are more than enough information to be able...
I know, but I was just making a general statement about legitimate non-logging services--not in any way specific to HMA. Sorry for any confusion.
Generally I agree with this. However, given the choice between a service that obviously keeps logs versus one that might not, I'd much rather...
Perhaps Witopia is a good deal, but it all depends on what your priorities are. Personally, I find their Terms of Use to be discouraging. The...
$10-15 per month is not what I'd consider "fairly pricey" by any stretch of the imagination. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. If...
Thanks for the list, DasFox. Hostizzle, VPNinja, vpnv6, Kebrum, IAPS, Overplay, and Purevpn all keep logs, and will likely terminate your...
If by "protect" you mean purposely withholding information from authorities, then yes. But in most of the civilized world, you can't just shut...
Just remember to change your Computer Name at the same time when you change (spoof) your network adapter's MAC address.
Assuming you use the same file system (NTFS) for both the encrypted container and the regular (non-encrypted) disk, the risk of data loss is...
Why not just change the storage location of the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder to your Truecrypt encrypted container--or better yet--move it...
It should work fine. Just put the Google DNS IP addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) directly into your network adapter settings, and then go to...
You may want to try RequestPolicy for Firefox. It works well together with NoScript, giving you full control over ALL unsolicited 3rd party...
First of all, the use of VPNs for SPAM and other forms of abuse is not as big an issue as you think it is. Sure, a spammer may be able to...
Doubtful that IP address you gave us (209.85.210.48) is the scammer's real IP; it's just the IP of the Google mail server (hostname:...
I assume by "encrypt traffic" that means he's using a VPN, in which case he has nothing to worry about. Most VPN providers (at least the...
Yeah, but they can't subpoena Google (or your ISP) if they don't know who they're looking for in the first place. That's the whole point of using...
Putting the page file in an encrypted container is a great idea in theory, but unfortunately it's not going to work. The page file is initialized...
Separate names with a comma.
