Lets add my 2 centz
I dont consider myself any form of hacker, I dont think i do anything illegal on the interweb. However i am very for privacy on the internet and against goverment monitoring.
When SOPA and CISPA etc all came about my first port of call was to get off gmail and on to my own webserver on a VPS. 2 weeks ago i deicded it was time to create my own elite anon proxy using squid. Took a few days of tinkering (sidenote did you know that google can get your IP via user_agent header? took me ages to work out why all the sites but google were getting my VPS IP and yet google could see right passed it and get my orignal IP)
now I am posting to this topic using said proxy. I can bet that once all these systems go live I will be one of the first pulled up as a terroist. I have VPNs to 2 countries, and 2 machines route out over those, i have very little standard traffic going via my ISP, and i use external DNS (currently in the process of setting up my own bind server).
I am even in the process of setting up my own jabber server (what did google rename it to xxmp?) and using that as a replacement for MSN/Skype interaction thing with my friends.
All of the above will classify me as a terroist under the UKs ever watchful eyes, I think now I am going to route my proxy in to tor for extra funz
- capnrefsmmat 14y agoUser agent headers don't include IP addresses. Are you sure Squid isn't setting the X_FORWARDED_FOR header and revealing your IP to every site you visit which is clever enough to look? http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/forwarded_for/ http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/forwarded_for/
