Proxy / VPN ∞

• Get a fully-routed VPN, and ensure everything is routed!

• Browser/etc fingerprinting still exists!

  • Tor for that? Tails?

• Using an open wireless connection may help.

  • Using a neighbours wireless connection may help, it's possible to crack into some of them.

• What about DNS? - can it be used to block/spoof a website?

  • Resolve this by using "Tunnel Mode".
• If I use a VPN, who will resolve my DNS requests?

• I have an old note that says "PPTP is probably not secure".

\nslookup localhost

\nmcli dev list iface eth1 | \grep IP4

• Bittorrent over Tor isn't a good idea

Questions:

• What happens if the VPN goes down?

  • Some use an interface that will shut down the internet connection.

• Can IPs be cycled-through?

  • Can that be automatic?
