Whenever browsing fascist website and doing intel work you can leave behind a trail. You should be familiar with basic internet security like firewalls, anti-viri, etc and of course proxies.

Proxies can also be used for IRC and messengers, so feel free to post those as well, just make sure you specifify what the proxy is for.

Also, be aware that while proxies can keep you anonmous from websites, like neo-nazi sites, law enforcement and government agencies likely can still track you, and your network card (NIC) almost always leaves behind it's MAC I.D.

Also, almost all public proxies are blocked from editing wikipedia arfticles...

That is an anonymiser of some sort, so that when people click on the link the website owners dont know that they got a visit via RevLeft.


Peacefire.org is good for circumventors - you usually get a new one every two weeks or so.

I wouldn&#39;t be too worried. They must get a load of visitors, both anti and pro tehir views, so they won&#39;t be tracking anyone down tbh.

RevLeft is blocked at my university (who now block all web email such as Hotmail and Gmail but allow Facebook and YouTube) but I can get past this by using the https address for RL -

https://www.revleft.com

It does try to say something about the security certificate, but if that comes up, just continue.

This addon could be useful for Firefox users:


FoxyProxy (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464) is an advanced proxy management tool that completely replaces Firefox&#39;s proxy configuration. It offers more features than SwitchProxy, ProxyButton, QuickProxy, xyzproxy, ProxyTex, TorButton, etc:

* Animated statusbar/toolbar icons show you when a proxy is in use

* Define which proxy to use (or none&#33;) for arbitrary URLs using wildcards, regular expression, whitelists, and blacklists

* Define multiple proxies and order their use with priorities

* No more wondering whether a URL loaded through a proxy or not: FoxyProxy includes an optional log of all URLs loaded, including which proxy was used (if any), which pattern was matched, timestamps, etc.

* Temporarily or permanently disable a proxy with the click of a button

* Out-of-the-box support for Tor - zero configuration

* Optional status bar information about which proxy is currently in use

* Full Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) support, with PAC features not available within Firefox itself

* Unobtrusive presence, stable execution, premier support

* More&#33;

What do proxies do exactly?

They route you through another computer. For example, if I was to visit storm front it would look like this:

chimx's computer -> stormfront

If I used a proxy:

my computer -> proxy server -> stormfront.

This way the website will only be able to view the information of the proxy server, not the individual users.

Personally I would never use them to hide my identity. I don't run from dumb fascists or racists. I even sometimes try to post my personal information on fascist websites to mock how more often then not they are just a bunch of cowards. Laughably, usually the posts just get erased. I refuse to play defensively and let them think they are at all having a psychological impact in my life. They are a joke.

In fact, I'll try again. For all those people from Stormfront that lurk on this site, here is the most recent photo of me. I live on capital hill in Seattle WA, USA, near the corner of Denny and Broadway.

Also there is something else... How do you actually know that the Proxie you are using actually obscures your actual address.

There is an online test just for this at nettools.com (Link in a mo). Go there first and take its address test to find out what your actual address is. make a note.

Then proxie up and go back to the same place and try again. If it works,the address will be totally different and as a bonus it may even say : proxie not detected. You are invisible.

Proxy test at http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox/proxy-test.php

A real man does not hide behind a proxy when doing his deeds, he comes upfront and does it in the face of judgment.

Thats like saying not to use firewalls. Proxxy's protect you from being identified by those who don't like your opinion, as a few of them could hack into your computer or give you a virus.

But then again, Christians are against using contraceptives...

Well, Hollywood movie interpretations aside, very little if its the average person. Consider your IP an ex-directory telephone number. If headcase skinhead from stormfront range up your phone company demanding information on the owner of a telephone number, unless he has a better reason than "I want to kill them" he's not going to get it. On the other hand, if you have been doing something illegal online, then your IP can be traced to your ISP and they would be legally obligated to hand over your information to the police. Other than that, I can locate your rough geographic location from it (I'll PM you what it says about yours). As for the idea that hackers are going to take over your computer, thats pretty damn rare these days provided you have a firewall or a router which most people do.

Anyone with Unix-like OSs or Linux with ssh, may use the following to setup a SOCKS proxy on the remote host you ssh into:
ssh -D 127.0.0.1:1080 [email protected]

Then change your browser settings to use a SOCKS proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 1080. All connections from your browser will appear to come from the host youre ssh'd into.

Yes it works quite nicely for getting past the firewall.
USB flashdrives are getting quite cheap I remember when I bought my first 256mb drive and it cost $15 now you can get 2gb for $5.
Also no Youtube because it doesn't come with the player required.
You could probably download that and put it on your flashdrive although I haven't tried it so I do not know if it would work.

I've seen someone else recommend it, but to reiterate, Foxyproxy is a very good proxy built in to your web browsing, if you use Firefox.
it may not be the most secure there is, but it should certainly be enough to keep from leaving that much of a trail.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464

If you click add to firefox, then restart, it should be sitting in your status bar saying "Foxyproxy:" and either "disabled" or "Default". Set it to "default" unless you know what you're doing much better than I do, and can set your own proxy up, and then all browsing is done in (more) safety.

Atrus
12th July 2009, 19:50
Upon looking into it, I'm unsure as to whether setting it in "default" gives you an proxies, or if you have to add them yourself.
To be on the safe side, click on the "foxyproxy" thing in the status bar, and just add all the proxies from the first post on this, it should alternate use of them for you randomly.

Slightly unrelated, but on the topic of internet safety for Firefox users, another addon named "Web of Trust" I find quite useful. It works on a user review basis, everyone else with it rates websites for reliability, security etc, and if something has a poor rating it warns you, and gives you the option to navigate away before going on the website. it always checks that I actually want to go on Stormfront and warns me of the danger.
If that's of any help to anyone - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3456
I'd certainly recommend it.

As RevLeft and other sites I use are blocked by WebSense at my local library I have been using various proxy sites to bypass the block.

Unfortunatly after a few days the proxy no longer works and I have to find another one.

However, I have found that I can bypass the block using Google Translator as a proxy and it is most unlikely that they will block Google.

As the translator will not accept English to English or any other same language translation it is neccisary to open the web page in a different language and translate it back.

From the Google home page click on Language Tools (http://www.google.co.uk/language_tools?hl=en) next to the search box.

Scroll down to "Translate a web page"

Put the web address you want to access into the address box.

Set the translation drop downs to apropriate settings, I use English to French.

Click on Translate.

The website will open in the language you set it to translate to and will have the Google Translation controls at the top of the page.

Reset the translation options to re-translate back to the language you want. In my case, French back to English.

Quicker and easier than these instructions look and unlikely to be blocked.

Other translators like BabelFish or Yahoo also work.

By the way I think it's worth mentioning that by using http proxies or socks you are doing nothing to stop your ISP from recording everything you do since these proxies don't use encryption. TOR does.

Also, be aware that while proxies can keep you anonmous from websites, like neo-nazi sites, law enforcement and government agencies likely can still track you, and your network card (NIC) almost always leaves behind it's MAC I.D.


I would also like to point out that it is possible to change your MAC I.D. (Well Sort of). I don't understand it completely myself, but apparently, there are two layers of the MAC ID, one is burned into the NIC card, but one operates at a software layer. It is this second layer which can be changed, and for all intents and purposes, it is the only one that really matters since this is what servers see when your browser requests a page.

It works differently for every OS, but I found on a Linux system pretty easy to do. There's even software that'll do it for you. The one thing to remember is that if you change your MAC ID, you have to refresh your IP address from your ISP, or else you will not be able to connect.

One last thing, my router, as I imagine many routers do, have the capacity to change the MAC address of the router. However, I'm not sure if servers see the router MAC or the computer's when you log into a site. If anyone can enlighten me on this, I would be very grateful :thumbup1:

Question about web proxies. Does going to one proxy site, to go to another proxy site to go to a site like scum front add more protection?

Question about web proxies. Does going to one proxy site, to go to another proxy site to go to a site like scum front add more protection?

Yes. Whoever's trying to find you has to go through more effort every time you add a proxy. But the problem is this makes internet slower because pages have to be loaded by multiple sites.


By the way I think it's worth mentioning that by using http proxies or socks you are doing nothing to stop your ISP from recording everything you do since these proxies don't use encryption. TOR does.
Some website proxies have support for encryption. If they do the web address will say "https" at the front instead of just "http".


How come no YouTube?

It's because Flash (a software which YouTube uses to display its videos) can be used to get around proxies and read your IP.

i use tor. http://www.torproject.org/

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis (http://www.torproject.org/overview.html.en).
Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol.
i use firefox with torbutton.
it makes very easy to use tor. just click torbutton and use tor (including for revleft). click button again and dont use tor. i use tor only for some things. i tried to run tor node but bandwidth is not enough. oh well. please if your bandwidth is enough run tor node.

The problem with most anonymity services is that you don't really know whose running the service. I wouldn't be surprised if the feds put up some open proxies and just let traffic through so that they can monitor it, warrant free. There are ways around this though, but there is no free solution. You have to pay for a service you can trust. The Pirate Bay actually recently opened up a VPN service. VPN is better than proxy anyway because it encrypts your traffic as well (securing against a man in the middle). I would trust TPB mostly because they have been known to not take shit from the law. Unfortunately they only offer pptp which I hear is the lowest grade encryption, there being at least two other forms which are better, the only one I can think of right now is openVPN. But there are services that provide this for a nominal fee. Just make sure you ask them if they keep logs. Most of these companies will comply with subpoenas or whatnot, but if they don't keep logs, there's no information they can provide anyway. Probably the best option is to get your own server. Then, noone really knows who passes through. This is pretty expensive though. Even if you go with a VPS, it can run you a pretty penny. I think most shared servers would not allow you to run a vpn service, particularly if it's free. I've tried setting up a free cgi proxy once, and although it worked, the terms of services clearly said it was not allowed, so I didn't use it. So I guess there's that option if you want to risk it. I don't remember who the hosting service was, though, but it was free, and the cgi proxy did work on it.

The best option for what most people need privacy for is Tor. The site won't let me post links yet, but it's at torproject dot org. It's an anonymity system using three different proxies with encrypted links between each other. No single proxy knows both who you are and where you're doing. It's easy to set up and they have something called the Tor Browser Bundle which comes with everything pre-configured for you. One-hop proxies and VPNs are useful in only a VERY LIMITED set of circumstances.

I use hotspot shield. the only problem is, they're not the most private and could be used by others.

foxyproxy + tor, or if you're on chrome, proxyswitch + tor.

the browser bundle is useful if you want portable or only temporary proxy use, if not I guess it'd be best to just set up tor on your system.

You should be careful using programs like FoxyProxy with Tor. TorButton (the plugin suggested by the Tor team) blocks a number of things like malicious javascript, flash, activex, and other vulnerabilities that could reveal who you are by letting your browser leak too much information or simply bypassing the Tor proxy entirely. DO NOT use anything except TorButton for browsing with Tor unless you consider yourself very knowledgeable in the field of computers AND the way the Tor program works.

But there's plenty of Firefox plugins that block all those things anyhow?

(Not to mention that TorButton doesn't exist for Chrome for example :p)

Use the Tor Vidalia bundle, it installs everything you need including TorButton for Firefox. Also, they have a browser bundle which allows you to run it from an external drive, limiting all records to the external USB. A standard 2GB USB flash drive would be more than capable of running it. The advantage is that you can use it on public computers such as in libraries, internet cafes, etc. for added anonymity. Simply download the bundle, and extract it to your USB drive (eg: F/). Always use the https:// protocol to access email or social networks though, as the administrators of the Exit Nodes (unknown volunteers) can otherwise see the information exchanged. I'm using it now.

I use a proxy program called "Puff the magic dragon" which works fine.

I can't get any web based proxy to work (I am living in China).

I find it strange how the Government keep records of those visiting "Fascist" sites, Sounds a bit fascist to me? :confused:

Even Tor isn't necessarily safe as you still don't know who's monitoring it at the ends.

Tor doesn't seem to have been updated in a while. The Torbutton is not compatible with Firefox 5.0, which has been out for a relatively long time. Any recommendations of other proxies?

Hello,
My friend put together an 'online proxy extractor' that will remove anything that isn't an IP from a proxy list. Using this you can easily create a proxy list. It's located at visudo (dot) net (slash) extractor. There's also a perl script to do this, the link is on the page.

Sorry about not being able to post a link, you have to have 25 posts to do so and I signed up to post this. ;)

Hey if you wish to use TOR with Chromium based browsers here are instructions:

http://lifehacker.com/5614732/create-a-tor-button-in-chrome-for-on-demand-anonymous-browsing

Though TOR button is no longer recommended: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton

Alternatively a list of VPNs can be found here:
