How to Stay Protected Online - pottercraft - Mar 15, 2022
Hi there,
I'm new to HackForums. I'm trying to learn the methods that people use in hacking. One thing that I find fascinating is how hackers actually protect themselves when running exploits.
Do they run their connection through a series of proxies? I assume your standard VPN wouldn't be enough?

The standard VPN such as [censored] definitely doesnt work.
From the method of payment to what provider you use makes a big impact.
Are you paying with paypal? Dead.
Are you using a VPN that publicly admits giving out logs? Dead.
Are you using a US Based VPN? Dead.
Lots of things to consider.
Proxy chains are a thing, and you can ping around the world making it way harder to track you however you'll have higher MS response times.

You can't be online and protected !!!?
But you can try to escape some privacy leaked . even vpns , tor etc .. not full privacy
To be protected just drop you'r smart phone , laptop and be away from wifi .

Protecting yourself online is entirely based off a digital footprint. Minimizing your digital footprint can be challenging as it assumes that you started by anonymizing your identity online and utilizing alias emails.
A VPN is most effective for most users. If you are an advanced user, proxies and multiple VPNs are important but not the focal point to security.
