How do you guys protect yourselves? with everyone posting pics and what not how do you protect your ip address? i know a few people on the board that would like to post pics but want better protection, with everything that has went down in the last 6 months it's better to be as safe as you can just in case. thanks

to my knowledge this site doesnt log your ip address and deletes any cookies when you sign off!!!

[Guest423]

yeah but who do you trust these days? i know people have other methods just to be more safe.

[Guest423]

i'm comfortable here too, but isn't there anything u can do? i remember when i first got here everyone was talking about how they do all these downloads to there computer to throw off your ip addy.

everyone talked that og is the safest on the net , was it ? to keep safe dont post shit about growing , I mean why do you need to?Grow and do your thing , dont have to brag and talk specificly about it ( pictures , room etc.etc)

Go here and spend 15 minutes learning what a proxy is about and how to it up. https://www.proxy-server.info/

You can also check and see if you're internet traffic is being intercepted illegaly by the NSA if you are in the states by following the instructions below. To be honest though, if you get busted via a weed forum it's probably down to a gaping hole in your personal security offline that will cause it. Surfing forums is not a viable way for cops to catch people growing a few plants in their home.

If you're a Windows user, fire up an MS-DOS command prompt. Now type tracert followed by the domain name of the website, e-mail host, VoIP switch, or whatever destination you're interested in. Watch as the program spits out your route, line by line:

C:\> tracert (any website)

In the above example, my traffic is jumping from Level 3 Communications to AT&T's network in San Francisco, presumably over the OC-48 circuit that AT&T tapped on February 20th, 2003, according to the Klein docs.

The magic string you're looking for is sffca.ip.att.net. If it's present immediately above or below a non-att.net entry, then -- by Klein's allegations -- your packets are being copied into room 641A, and from there, illegally, to the NSA.

Well, I tried this and I wasn't able to get any path info. All the requests timed out:

Best way to arm yourself is with knowledge. Best way is to break down your fears and paranoia into managable logical flow charting.

1. What are you afraid of?
2. Has anyone ever been busted because of question #1?
3. Have you or anyone youve known been the first one busted by any new methods or laws?

If no one is being busted by the methods you are afraid of then by definition its useless paranoia and your time would be better spent worrying about the security measures you should be paranoid about.

If getting IP address translated into home/customer info was easy by any extent of the law then the music and film industry would have shit loads of people in court on a daily basis. The fact they have tons of lawyers and still cant get this info should let you know how hard it is to get your personal information.

The basic jist has always been a judge needs to sign a warrant for specific things before your personal info is released. No judge is going to sign a warrant for a fishing for people expedition on a website because the basis of the warrant violates constitutional rights of the people.

p.s thanks for the humor on detecting the NSA by using the traceroute command. This works about as well as pouring sand in your gas tank to get better gas miles. If the NSA or anyone else for that matter is sniffing your packets its not like your going to see them show up as a pit stop in your traceroutes from point A to B.

When the nsa or any govt branch with the right clearance needs to see whats going on they just "look" because the base ownership of the internet in its entireity still belongs to the US govt.

The govt controls the use of the 13 root servers which manages all the primary DNS queries [ translates IP addys to named addresses like yahoo.com, etc ] that happen on the internet. When they need to see whats going on Im sure thats where they start.
