Let's say that, after some reading, you managed to set up a private one-hop VPN proxy -- that is, a remote server running OpenVPN Server, and...
That's understandable. No. Yes. In the case of "VPN services", the remote point aka VPN server may be anything from a simple NAT device to a...
Although Chrome may be an extreme, it's by no means unique. It's increasingly the norm to accept pervasive surveillance in order to get...
That's very interesting. Thanks for the link. It appears that Mandos is intended for LANs. Even assuming that it'll work over the net, it's...
Although I have no direct experience, I suspect that you'd need port forwarding for that, which XeroBank doesn't permit.
You'd need physically secure hardware, designed such that all potentially effective attacks trigger total and irreversible destruction of all...
IME, you can -- with limitations. Although your client can download, it can upload only to peers that it's found to download from. That's...
You have a telephone?
I just read a potentially very relevant article. Doesn't that seem familiar? Of course, I use and recommend a similar "persona management"...
The "bad guys" have had highly snoop-resistant technologies for several decades, at least. Of course, they sometimes get sloppy -- e.g.,...
That is rule 14, of course. However, IMHO, it depends. Ignoring adolescent lulzers playing king of the hill is always prudent. OTOH, ignoring...
Although I don't post to Usenet, I have been following the drama on alt.privacy lately. Mostly it's just a flame war structured around...
Indeed. It seems that many people -- most, perhaps -- still think like that famous dog, notwithstanding copious contrary evidence. That attitude...
Indeed. Customers typically have no "hard facts" -- except the fact that they need to trust their providers. In that sense, XeroBank is the...
Yes, of course, it's obvious that I'm connecting to XeroBank. However, unless that in itself becomes illegal, I don't believe that helps...
This issue has always concerned me. According to the XeroBank documentation, this isn't an issue because deposit and access accounts are...
Thanks for that, Steve. As hierophant who posts on Wilders, I've been caricatured on several Usenet newsgroups for some months as...
I know that I shouldn't butt in, and I just can't resist entirely ;) Although the exact phrase may be, the concept is timeless -- Sun Tzu to...
It depends. With the current version of XeroBank, you don't lose anything by using stock OpenVPN, and you may gain by using a newer version....
You're not paranoid, IMHO. Allowing users to reset passwords is inherently insecure. Both common approaches -- emailing temporary passwords, and...
Wow, katio -- their tool is indeed worthless. Maybe Aaron worked on it ;) When I read your comment, I first thought that John.Doe and...
FWIW, that was essentially Aaron Barr's plan for the protocol that he hoped to sell to the FBI et alia. See this Wired article.
OK, although I don't see why you need a VPN, if you're just talking about information going to public websites like Wilders. That's what I was...
@MrGump OK, I get that you want privacy and security. Do you care whether observers -- some combination of websites, ad servers,...
@DasFox Please post the noscript.surrogate when you get it working. That's very cool. @Tom Thank you. One can set time zone in Ubuntu...
