  • In order to be pseudo-anonymous on the Internet, we have to make sure that we are aware that we are being tracked. There are 10 important identifiers that we will work on to prevent someone from recognizing us as we surf the interwebs. If we hide or obscure these identifiers, we become invisible.

    There is no such thing as total privacy. If you were born at a hospital, have attended school, had a job, filed taxes, had a doctors appointment, obtained a driver’s license, own a credit card, or hundreds of other considerations, your information is not really private.

      imaging a world in which some strange people watch where you put your fingerprint. They immediately look at it, add it to a database or check if you are already there. You are not informed how this information is used.
      In real world this happens only when some kind of crime is commited.
      In web world such fingerprint collection is a never ending process. Since this is considered like a kind of a new normality, you might want to ware gloves. Just to keep your privacy

    Supplemental suggestion: If practicing separation to keep things like google, etc, confined to just one browser, be aware of clicking video links in emails, twitter, etc, that will take you to youtube on the browser you are trying to keep free of google. Always copy a link and paste it into a browser reserved for this purpose or else the wrong browser might be opened.

    • @robbraxmantech
      @robbraxmantech  3 місяці тому +16

      I don't have a problem with that. You just establish a pattern and choose a location near you. Doing unusual patterns flag you. The purpose of a VPN is misdirect the IP address not appear like a criminal. I also stick to the same VPN server most of the time so the pattern is clear. Very minimal issues using this method.

    • @MJHeagy
      @MJHeagy 3 місяці тому

      What Rob brax is saying is true. I use a VPN 24/7 on all my devices. Browser Isolate and have dedicated browsers for Banking on your Android and Desktops. Login and then have the website remember your username. Keep the VPN location the closest city to you. Credit Unions don't care as much as big banks.
      I have had issues with Fidelity but I believe, without telling me, they whitelisted my account for VPNs. I had my account suspended twice and I complained enough to the point where I don't get suspended anymore. I told them I use VPNs for work.

    Hi Rob, If I ran a nefarious three letter agency, I might scan the cell networks for phones lacking tracking identifiers, then correlate with surveillance cameras or simply stop and identify the person with the de-Googled phone. What are the odds of something like this happening. ???

    • @terrydaktyllus1320
      @terrydaktyllus1320 3 місяці тому

      A Three Letter Agency would need to subpoena such information from a mobile phone provider and it would probably have to be obtained on an individual basis through a court of law as part of a criminal investigation, they would not be given access to "the names and phone numbers of all people with de-Googled phones", for example.
      That is a completely different to the privacy scenario where your phone "naturally" leaks your personal data to be "snapped up" by the likes of Google, Apple and Faecesbook.

      Buy a dedicated device without a camera or microphone to prevent surreptitious voice and face ID. Never use your name, or any personally identifiable information on it. Never login to any personal accounts. They may know everything about the use of that machine, but they won't have a name to tie it to.*
      * Unless you do something to get the attention of a TLA, then they will use proximity tracking and data correlation to get you. Maybe only use it while wearing a facemask in public, after walking from an area without cameras. And hide all five traits that can be used to identify a person, like gait.

It came pre-installed with Windows 8 that I refused to use and installed Windows 7 on it. When I reinstalled Windows 8 on it a few years later to re-sell the laptop, no registration code was needed because it was clearly visible in the BIOS.

    The problem is that few of us started out clean. It's nearly impossible to become a ghost once you've been visible. You can change your phone numbers and emails with various sites but they may retain the previous data in archives and thus be able to link your old numbers and emails to your new numbers and emails. I think the most effective solution is to create all new accounts and quit using the old accounts. The old data will still be there with the old accounts but after awhile it will become stale. You might need new friends too, lol. Algorithms might be able to link your old and new numbers by the changes in their uploaded contacts lists.

      if you want to move from just discussing to practical means, you should rather go to browserleaks or similar sites and check how effectively you can be tracked.
      You might be surprised how many fingerprints you make simply by clicking a website.
      If for any reason you need a good privacy, you indeed should use a worth-of-trust VPN, as well as tor or mullvad browser.

      1. VPN I consider firstly as a security feature, not privacy. And you need it when you travel a lot and need to connect to internet using available free wifi and similar. Then it is a must. You need VPN if you need really a higher privacy/security, because you are an activist, politician, pop star, or just a target for some (cyber)criminals.
      2. If you have iphone/android phone, then google/apple may have all information about you. You don't want it - don't use any of them )

    Unless You Are a "Website" You Are Not Given A Static IP Address.
    As An Ordinery User Without a Dedicated Website , If I Switch My Modem Off/On or Restart It, I am Allocated a New IP Address. Most of Ordinary Internet Users Are On Dynamic IP Addresses.
    Eg. Your Phone Uses Dynamic IP, Its Identifier is Your Phone Number.
    Only If You Wish To Access Your Home Computer Across The Internet, Do You Need A Static IP Address. The Server Knows Where To Direct Your Connection.

      The IP address that your ISP gives you as part of DHCP is in a specific range of addresses allocated to that ISP - that will give any external viewer knowledge of what ISP you are using and probably a good idea as to what part of the world you're living in.
      Also a reverse DNS look up of the IP address will give them the name of your specific router on your ISP even if the router name is not tied specifically to your identity.

However, IPv6 is only really used across the Internet backbone and security best practice specifications currently suggest turning IPv6 off in local networks.

      It doesn't matter if your phone is logged in or not - I assume you mean a Google Android phone.
      The phone is being tracked through the wifi interface on your phone broadcasting in promiscuous mode, logging the access points that it detects and then sending that data to Google for them to process - that means the location of your phone is tracked to an accuracy of 2 meters using wifi triangulation. Where you spend your night time period most often (i.e. the place where you go to sleep) gives them your home address to add to your phone number and IMEI number.
      Any one of your contacts who has your phone number and address in their online contacts against your name gives them your identity anyway, plus with your home address they can work out who you are from voter registration databases or elsewhere on the Internet.
      Do you SERIOUSLY believe that you can bypass their tracking capabilities that they spend millions on each year to research by simply "not logging into the phone"???
      The only way to stop Google tracking you is not have their software on your phone in the first place.
