4 ways to keep your anonymity online

By Komando Staff

Keeping your identity private is not without its challenges. With every social site pressing you to sign up, or to link your accounts, or to share everything with everyone, it can be difficult to keep your privacy to yourself.
But you don't have to be exposed to all those prying eyes and ads. We have a few solutions to keep you insulated from all those data-mining advertisers and snoops online.
Warning: While these tools are powerful, nothing is completely secure and law enforcement has a lot of online and offline resources to track down criminals. Do not use these tools for illegal activities; you will be caught.
Privoxy - If you're looking for a fairly straightforward proxy to keep your identity hidden from online snoops, Privoxy is a good way to go. Privoxy obscures your IP address and fetches Web pages and other online communication for you. Web sites with tracking information only see the proxy IP address, so yours stays hidden.
There are some advanced steps in this program to take full advantage of Privoxy's capabilities, but even if you're a relative beginner you can make use of the basic features to hide your IP address.
Kproxy - For those on the go, Kproxy is a good way to proxy your IP address. You can download a file to any USB drive and voila! Instant privacy, no matter what computer you're on.
This program works by encrypting the connection between your browser and the sites you want to visit, where available. Kproxy routes your Internet requests through a separate computer to keep your IP address concealed from prying companies.
SafeIP - Another proxy program that will keep you masked while you're online is SafeIP. It encrypts your comings and goings online; even if you're not on your own computer. SafeIP also hides your IP address while you're online, and it chooses the nearest anonymous IP location for the best Internet speed.
All of your privacy settings in SafeIP can be adjusted to be as secure as you need them to be. You can also set your IP proxy to stay the same anonymous address or you can rotate the address to keep your proxy secure.
TAILS - For a really secure anonymity program you should try TAILS. It routes everything through the Tor Network, an anonymous network designed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, which makes it hard for anyone to see where you're going online. Tor keeps you anonymous online and your browsing information encrypted while you're online.
TAILS is actually a separate operating system, so any computer you use will forget where you've gone and what you've done. The computer will even forget that you used TAILS, so it's the premium way to work anonymously on public or unsecured computers.

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke...

New ATM's: withdraw money with veins in your finger

New cash machines: withdraw money with veins in your finger Cash machine technology that reads the pattern of finger veins is already available in Japan and Poland   By Telegraph Reporters 6:59PM BST 15 May 2014 Cash machines could soon be installed with devices that identify customers by reading the veins in their fingers. The technology is already being rolled out in Poland, where 1,730 cash machines will this year be installed with readers, negating the need for a debit card and Pin. Developed by Hitachi, the Japanese electronics firm, the machines read the patterns of the veins just below the surface of the skin on your finger using infra-red sensors. The light is partially absorbed by haemoglobin in the veins to capture a unique finger vein pattern profile, which is matched to a profile. The technology is used by Japanese banks and also in Turkey, offering “groundbreaking levels of accuracy and speed of authentication”, Hitachi said, which in t...
