    You can change your MAC ID though, if I recall the Anonymous tools....

    You really need a proxy to browse fascist websites? I can't really see the need for that. Using web proxies, VPN-tunnels etc actually imply safety hazards.

    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.
    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.

    -Steal Neighbors internet
    -Use a portable version of Linux (Small USB/CD distros are best)

    Maybe party uniforms would be an idea. When the Party marches into a town, it should look like a military occupation is on the way.

    I dunno, but you need to get behind at least 7 proxies.

    fash=trash : I wouldn't worry about that in general, given the amount of users on there at any time. Unless you mean you're posting and being covert, then yes I would use a Proxy. Also, comes across to me that not everyone on there is a skinhead.

    Does anyone knows if there's some sort of proxy for Google Chrome? I prefer it over FF and looks like Tor supports exclusively FF:

    Default Proxy servers

    How do I use a proxy server with Mozilla Firefox and/or Google Chrome? I'd appreciate any info anyone might have.

    I don't have enough posts to link you, so do a search for FoxyProxy; it's a Firefox proxy management extension.

    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.

    http://torproject.org

    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 )

    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.

    Threads merged. The other thread was initially located in Mutual Aid and DIY but is clearly of the same topic as this one.

    If we have no business with the construction of the future or with organizing it for all time, there can still be no doubt about the task confronting us at present: the ruthless criticism of the existing order, ruthless in that it will shrink neither from its own discoveries, nor from conflict with the powers that be.

    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).

    A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

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

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