MAX Privacy Online

How to have MAXIMUM privacy online, without using Tor? I have a VPN only. It's VirtuaShield (recommended by some conservative Youtubers and it sucks! But I was stupid and paid money for it so yea)

are you asking how to be anonymous or are you advertising VirtueShield VPN?

I am asking how to be anonymous! I am definitely not advertising VirtualShield as I hate it and regret giving them my money...

Tor and VPNs won't do you any good if you're using a proprietary (NSA backdoored) OS. Here's a list of safe operating systems:

Fuck off, Stallman.

>he thinks Tor is not compromised


It only works if you use Linux.

Just use incognito mode

>maximum privacy
>log off

there is no one privacy plan. it depends on how anonymous you need to be. if youre just shitposting on social media, try logless VPN and learn about browser security.

Thanks, didn't know this was possible.

Which ones are logless? Actually logless...

private internet access
torguard

are two

Why not use TOR?

install Gentoo, Use Grandma's internet down the street, copy Hillary Clinton's Mac address

What about TOR on osX? Not safe? I can’t post here from TOR browser anyways so I don’t use it. I have a computer with Linux Mint Mate 14 I think is the version. Is that a NSA back door OS?

OP, do you want a serious answer? If you are using a computer manufactured with parts made after about 1996, you are fucked. If you are plugged into the electrical grid you are fucked. There is no privacy any more. If you want to go off the grid, you have to go off the grid. That means no phone, no internet, no electricity that you don't generate yourself. That's how you beat them.

It's really less a question of "how do I get maximum privacy online" than it is "how can I hide my activity in general?" Are you targeted? Are people actively looking for you? Are you doing things for which people might actively be looking for you? Then get away from anything electronic. At best, that will make you quite difficult to track.

tl;rd nothing is safe, and it really depends on who you're trying to hide from.

Parabolic antenna
Pentesting distro
Hop on someones wifi
Do your stuff and get the fuck out of there
All this has to be done on a stolen or second hand computer

Gentoo

Brave browser.

Anyone know how permanently delete data from your PC? For example I deleted a bangbus episode and it's sitting on my recycle bin. How do I permanently deleted so in case I take my PC to get fix, the tech guy won't find porn.

What about TAILS OS. I read that this is what people who want complete privacy use. Especially journalist communicating with in-names sources.

if you've got an intel cpu, you want to disable IME. I saw some guide on how to do it on gentoo a few days ago, you can probably find others.

get off the internet

This.

As far as I know it's essentially impossible to be totally anonymous, but if I had to try and had the technical ability, I would run a virtual machine on a linux distro and connect to the internet with tor on a burner machine on public wifi.

The algorithms are so sophisticated now that they don't even need cookies to track you, the software learns who you are based on your browser signature and the websites you visit. Over time, they can figure out who you are just based on the sites you go to, even if you are using a different vpn for example.

I'm just too scared right now loll. I will consider later, I'm not very tech savvy.. (and I have Windows10)

Win 10 is nothing more than a malware disguised as an OS. It even has a built in key logger.

Even after there is IME. So unless your bios is "free" you are still fucked

These are excellent suggestions, thanks guys!
I can't do some of these:
But others I will try!
I'm not running away from anyone, it's just that too many people are getting exposed for nothing.. police raid your home for shitposting in Germany.... Canada not safe either (or anywhere else really)

you can get maximum security by not going online
