I don't think you're catching my drift so I'll just come out and say it - I don't want to be tracked by my government going to a site that is a known gathering spot for criminals and juveniles just so I can see some silly pictures, thereby associating myself with criminals and juveniles. Now we can split hairs about whether that's true but perception is reality. So let's just end it here - I won't visit 4chan and it's not a big deal.
- sp332 14y agoAlright I didn't realize you were worried about the government tracking you.
- Torgo 14y agoYou can access 4chan through Tor, now. It used to be blocked, but now only blocks posting. Additionally, there is an HTTPSEverywhere definition (you have to specially get it from their website) that forces all the 4chan content through SSL to prevent snooping by exit nodes.
- Torgo 14y agoRather than just talking about it, here's how to actually do it without you having to search around for specific instructions: 4chan ruleset is here: https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/src/chrome/content/rules/4chan.xml https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git/blob_plai... Download and place the file in the HTTPSEverywhereUserRules/ subdirectory in your Firefox profile directory. In Tor Browser bundle, the location for your profile is: {wherever you installed tbb}/Data/profile When you're in TBB, navigate to http://4chan.org http://4chan.org. If it doesn't switch to https automatically, then click the HTTPSEverywhere icon up in the corner, and make sure the 4chan.org rule is checked. Page should refresh, you should see that it is now https.
