Guys if I use a VPN my college can't see what I'm looking at right?
correct. make sure you use your VPN's DNS servers
Provided you use proper encryption, using a strong cipher suite and such.
Note that a VPN tunnel is not by definition encrypted. A tunnel without encryption is just encapsulation to a remote location.
>>53066008
Ok. Its just my roommate accused me of something and told the school so I'm gonna a play it safe now.
>>53066016
Then wouodnit be better for.mecto use Tor?
>>53066044
Not necessarily. You can setup a VPN server yourself if confidentiality is what you're going for.
If you don't want certain traffic to point back to you, consider Tor or I2P and such for added anonimity.
From what I understand from your situation (>>53066030) a VPN will work just fine for you.
This is how Tor (in conjunction with, and without HTTPS) works: https://www.eff.org/pages/tor-and-https
>>53066112
What do you understand of my situation?
>>53066044
When hosting your own VPN server, make sure you use a strong cipher, a strong Diffie-Hellman parameter, and optionally a supplemental strong TLS auth key. There are numerous tutorials online how to do this (consider OpenVPN).
Or go for a commercial solution if you don't like to set this up yourself, but make sure you trust your VPN provider.
>>53066155
Seems to me all you care about is the school not finding out about your (presumably nefarious) activities. Be that as it may, all you'd need is an encrypted VPN tunnel from your device at the school network.
>>53066163
How can I "trust " any company?
>>53066202
The school yeah , but more so law enforcement .
>>53066206
>asking questions this basic
If you think what you're doing could actually get you in trouble with your school, stop doing it.
You're going to set up a connection to a VPN, not know you need to point your browser at the right port,
fire up Internet explorer with 5 different toolbars installed, and you are going to get fucked.
Don't do stupid shit and no one will care what you browse to on campus Internet
>>53066270
I know programming , not networking even basics ok? Also I can't doing it I'm not sure if I can stop .
>>53066333
What is it and we will be able to help you take appropriate measures. A vpn might not be enough.
>>53066206
Read up on / skim through their privacy policies and terms of services and make an informed decision.
>>53066407
Just stuff. The consequences are fairly bad, socially and with punishments probably.
>>53066407
Doxing is against the rules, and OP sounds already too shady as it is.
>>53065966
if you have enabled encryption, yes.
>>53066437
I'm assuming CP unless you say otherwise. Wipe all your HDDs. Install linux with full encryption. Never install flash or Java products. Use tor. Dmcrypt us your friend.
Now go wipe your HDDs now. Multiple times.
>>53066030
Jesus dude how big of a faggot is your roommate for reporting you? Where do you go to school?
>>53066270
>You're going to set up a connection to a VPN, not know you need to point your browser at the right port,
Just stop, a VPN isn't a fucking proxy you shitsucking retard.
>>53066504
Wiping HDDs? That's allot of work I've got school shit I still need to work on. Now that I think of it the school won't care about some rnadom 18 year old student.
>>53066504
>CP unless you say otherwise
>>53066554
Here we are. You'll go to jail anon.
>>53066554
Enjoy your 20 year prison sentence. It's not like you can't reinstall what you need.
>>53066554
Then prep a second disk with dm-crypt+LUKS and copy everything over. Then wipe the old disk N times, or soak its platters in acid.
>>53066554
> Now that I think of it the school won't care about some rnadom 18 year old student.
yes they will... just move everything you need backup of to somewhere like dropbox AND External harddrive and then install linux with a encrypted harddrive. If you use Truecrypt you can make a double-encrypted drive. For example if they force you to hand over password you can give the password and they have no way of knowing that you have ANOTHER password for your REAL encrypted drive. I don't know if other encryption software have that, but truecrypt does. Use Tor.
>>53066554
Just break your current HDD and buy a used HDD/SDD. Or enjoy jail... Just deleting it wont remove it. Formatting is not enough either unless you do it like 7-10 times.
>>53066578
No I wont.
>>53066675
>>>53066554
>Just break your current HDD and buy a used HDD/SDD.
Breaking != wiping. If the surface of the platters are still in tact, or even portions thereof, data can still be retrieved.
>Formatting is not enough either unless you do it like 7-10 times.
Formatting != wiping.info shred
>>53066554
you're fucked
>>53066784
It's not fair...
OP what are you doing and what did your roommate accuse you of?
>>53066822
>>53066554
>>53066704
You're fucking retarded. You're an adult, you WILL go to jail if you're caught.
What do you mean it's not fair?
>>53066870
Captain Prince
hey OP
>helping someone get away with looking at CP
/g/ plz
OP if your roomy caught you looking at cp then you are so fucked. You would be better off owning up, if you try cover any of this up (and by the sounds of it you'll never manage it good enough to not get caught) you will be in even bigger shit. Also consider that if you're in a big enough campus than chances are they already packet sniff and know what you've done
>>53065966
guys
browsing /b/ and some porn on school network with zenmate would be safe?
>>53066532
Then why Are VPN settings located in proxy settings in Windows ?
>>53067122
If not fair cause I can't help how I feel.
If you've looked at CP and your roommate saw it, you are completely fucked. You might as well turn yourself into the local police station now. You might get 5 years in federal prison as opposed to the 20 you would if you destroyed the evidence.
>>53067677
Sorry, that wording was pretty bad now that I read it a second time.
You might get 5 years in federal prison if you turn yourself in, as opposed to destroying the evidence which would get you more.
>>53067612
guys?
You are going to want to see this thread OP it has the information you are looking for.
>>53067639
They also use Aptoide.
>>53067648
You can, however control your actions. And one of those actions is taking suitable precautions. You really should have researched what it takes to be anon. Now you need to cover your ass and learn from past mistakes. Even if your uni cam tell what you viewed, without evidence on your HDD you won't be charged with possession. Destruction of evidence is Possible, but I'd rather have that on my record than CP. Take your pick. Go wipe your HDD and find a good attorney right now.>>53067648
>>53067794
This.
>>53067794
Yup. OP you're going to have to do this.
>>53067648
it does not matter, if you don't get rid of your harddrive and start encrypting your shit you will go to jail. and who has the worst time in jail? Who is lowest on the pecking order?
>>53067529
>OP if your roomy caught you looking at cp then you are so fucked. You would be better off owning up,
No he won't be better off, being outside of jail is generally better than being inside jail for cp.
> (and by the sounds of it you'll never manage it good enough to not get caught)
He don't want to destroy his harddrive so yeah, he is fucked.
> if you try cover any of this up you will be in even bigger shit.
No, he won't there is no evidence if he tries to cover it up. If he can give OP trouble by saying he saw cp, then OP can do exact same to him.
>Also consider that if you're in a big enough campus than chances are they already packet sniff and know what you've done
this might be true, but they might still need the harddrive to make a criminal case out of it.
Why would you care?
>>53067911
>Destruction of evidence is Possible, but I'd rather have that on my record than CP.
They need to prove that he destroyed something. If he buys a used HDD and destroys his old HDD in secret then there is only circumstantial evidence pointing to anything destroyed. And noone will likely find anything on the new HDD hopefully.
>>53067612
GUYS?
>>53068067
Pretty sure they can tell when a new HDD or OS was installed. But without physical possession of images, I don't think a possession charge is suitable.
>>53068117
>Pretty sure they can tell when a new HDD or OS was installed.
"I enjoy distrohopping and try out new linux distros once in a while, is that a crime?", it's pretty normal senpai
>>53068100
They use Google analytics, I wouldn't trust it. Another VPN might be suitable.
>>53068067
they only need to show beyond a reasonable doubt that your actions given your knowledge of the situation would destroy data that might be considered important in the case.
>you're an exec
>someone ratted your business partner out for bribery
>they have emails and recorded phone calls
>police have contacted you, asking you to help with their investigation in the matter
>you decide that your Mid 2014 macbook is slow and recycle it and get a new Mid 2015 macbook instead
it's not all too difficult to get something like that to stick
When people do destroy evidence they do things out of the norm/in a rush/for no apparent reason
>>53066223
Or you could just stop torrenting gay porn
>>53068181
>and you just decided to start "distrohopping" around the same time all of your network traffic switched over to encrypted vpns, all of this mere days after your room mate called us?
I wonder how awkward it is between OP and his roommate now?
>>53065966
Yes but it will automatically get your name put on several lists as a pirate, child pornographer and terrorist.
What exactly are you trying to hide anon?
>>53068293
or he could continue without VPNs... Not too much changes, just distrohopping... "Wanted to try Linux" say as little as possible.
>>53068368
He wouldn't be able to sleep if I were his rm
>>53068442
What?
>>53068192
you mean you wouldn't trust the company that owns zenmate?
as long as they encrypt the connection it will be okay as I don't think the uni would bother getting a court order to get them give info.
If they encrypt the connection and the IT guy that investigate the logs once in a while, finds that there is no apparent pron link it will be okay, no?
>>53068447
I would fuck him all night long
>>53068459
kek
>>53068454
Yeah he is probably cool with normie stuff. Anything illegal, idk
>>53068459
Get his ass ready for prison. I like it. He might even grow to like it also. Win-win
>>53068293
That's the definition of circumstantial evidence.
>>53065966
>>53066554
I hope you get your scrawny little ass thrown into jail for life and prison raped for the rest of your shitty little existence.
>>53067612
Browsing /b/ is fine even without any protection as long as you're not actively searching for illegal stuff...cached images aren't incriminating.
>>53068527
What about porn sites like xvideos or youporn etc?
Also IP leaks caused by WebRTC or Flash are only avaiable to the websites you are browsing, right?
>>53068588
>What about porn sites like xvideos or youporn etc?
Those aren't illegal...what are you worried about? Do you think the university cares that its students watch porn?
Why are you worried about IP leaks if everything you're doing is legal?
>>53068293
>>53068242
>>53068517
You can't put someone in prison based on circumstantial evidence like that. They have to prove that there have been a real crime. they need evidence. Even if they had a video of him destroying the harddisk that would still be only circumstantial. There is no evidence that there was anything on it.
"I did not know that roommate made such accusations"
"Why did you destroy the harddisk"
"I wanted to try linux, but did not want to delete the folders one by one. I wanted a empty harddisk"
"Why did you not format it?"
*looks confused* "I saw on the tv show "Mr. Robot" that they destroyed harddisks when they wanted to start over. It's what linux users do"
>>53068518
epic edge
>>53068634
wh-what if I'm an assistant in that uni?
watching pron in school would cause me to get fired after all.
>>53068773
Are you fucking watching it while working?
>>53068773
Do it in your free time... why don't the university block such sites?
>>53068784
>>53068793
the point is if it's possible or not.
not that I'm so willing to watch porn.
It's a fucking university
as long as you spoof your MAC address they have no way of identifying you
>>53066030
>Ok. Its just my roommate accused me of something and told the school so I'm gonna a play it safe now.
you looked at child porn right?
>>53066030
>cp
I hope your roommate bash your head open desu
Holy fuck why do they let seventeen year olds into college
>>53068860
anyways if I get it right, IP leaks are something that only the websites you are browsing can see, your supervisor can only see encrypted links in the logs, yeah?
Of course if they try really hard to find you, yeah they can but we are talking about a general occasion.
Melt everything. Or torch your dorm. Arson probably has less jail time than CP
>everyone recommending Tor
>no one remembers that harvard student
you guys are retarded like OP
>>53068713
>hating pedoshit is edge now
wew
>>53069089
Sauce?
People get caught on tor all the he time. Usually because they don't take recommend precautions, aka being a dumbass.
>>53065966
Your college can't if there's sufficiently strong encryption but if the VPN keeps logs you're still fucked mate. If you for some reason do keep it stored on your drive get a file shredder e.g. GNU shred or Eraser and run 10 passes over your porn cache. For future usage, LUKS or veracrypt may be necessary and you may want to make a hidden volume for plausible deniability.
Hate to be a "white knight leejuner", but you should off yourself just because you're a fucking degenerate.
>>53069089
The harvard student used FLASH on Tor. anyone who use flash or javascript on Tor is asking for trouble.
Op here...why are people soo hateful towards other's sexual orientation?
>>53070566
>sexual orientation
sexual orientation is in regards to gender only
>>53070669
Then what would you call it?
>>53071044
A mental illness, probably.
>>53071044
honestly I was just considering the definition of sexual orientation
I personally don't see it as any different than homosexuality; they are both abnormal attractions
but then again I am uneducated on the subject
>>53071044
Mental illness desu
>>53071506
>>53071291
You are making me feel bad...
>>53071631
That's what it's actually considered, look it up
What if OP used Tails OS??
Isn't he safer with that?
>>53071309
Well, in my opinion homosexuality is a mental illness. The biological point of life is survival of the fittest, passing along your genes.
And homosexuality completely fuckes that up.
That being said, I'm a fag myself. Sometimes the most correct answer is the least political correct and people should be fine with that.
Not annoys me more than trying to call being gay normal. It's not normal in any regard, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
>>53067401
Only patriot in this thread
>>53072263
That's not patriotism, Trump.
>>53065966
It must be Friday...
>>53072752
what
So OP are you fucked or did you destroy your HDD or what?
