Possibly not. HN sits behind Cloudflare. Your SSL connection terminates at Cloudflare to plaintext, and new SSL connection to HN is created.
Your login and password, IP and User-Agent and other bits, are in cleartext to Cloudflare.
Much less likely if you have VPN, did not give email and made random login/password. OPSec.
- dewey 8y agoWhat are you trying to say? Cloudflare doesn't give you any more privacy. In the highly hypothetical case that someone would actually investigate this they'd get this IP from HN's host or Cloudflare, then get their identity and then go forward with removing him from the bar association if found guilty.
- auslander 8y agoNo VPN case. You busted by your ISP IP logged by HN. VPN case. I logged in HN and gave legal advice :) Minute later I logged in Reddit, same IP, same browser, probably tracking cookies too (Reddit is behind CF too). Now CF can link my HN and Reddit logins. Chances are, I logged into Reddit without VPN days ago - IP - Busted. Not so hypothetical, imho.
