including your bank info
so your home address
as paranoid people use VPNs they seem really dumb. They don't trust their ISP but trust a rando that set up a VPN
If my isp ratted out bank and CC info, word would get around and their business would tank
vpns can be turned off.
but you trust a small little VPN probably set up by one guy?
no, which is why I turn it off. I use it for mostly privacy but not criminal actions.
use tor its free ands not run by one guy
I worry about TOR more. The Office of Naval Research helped make it.
use both!
you trust governments?
no, but at least ISP have laws in place to protect users
VPNs don't
true but they are immune anyway if they give up your log data. some don't even need to see warrants, just be asked.
Here's another mind-blower...your DSL or cmodem etc. hooks into a DNS server before it even sees a vpn or TOR. The most popular one is 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, this is Goggle's free public DNS servers. They work with the NSA/CIA a lot. They technically get all your traffic unencrypted .
Others are static DNS IP, can be sniffed by state level actors.
well you need to set that up. most dns use what the isp give you. but you could use 208.67.222.222 · 208.67.220.220
its very easy to change dns
the example I posted is opendns
yes, but it's not hard to find what you use and monitor it in livetime nowadays. If they have warrant or deniability the can always sneak a keylogger on you.
the net is not as free as it was.
keylogger, ok. for that to work it would need to know what os you are running
trivial
not getting into that cos thats not what I am talking about and has litille to no point. keyloggers are spyware/malware its not the same topic
no but one leads sometimes to the other.
that has nothing to do with vpns/isp
indirect
anyone that connects to the internet that could effect. so just using the internet that could happen. so not the same topic. you could get a keylogger using your 3g/4g mobile data. we are moving onto infosec now
yes. super paranoids use custom hardware and sniff their connections to make sure MACs and serial numbers arent compromised too.
little paranoid. but I run and use my own OS
good
I know what its doing and have debug programs that tell me everything its doing
If I cared I'd have a daemon or script trigger on data sequences like CC, mac, etc.
talking about infosec just got a message about this https://security.googleblog.com/2019/03/disclosing-vulnerabilities-to-protect.html
hmm
you might like Brave now. Lately you have a built in TOR connection as you choose.
