“So is there any solution?”
To what, exactly? Anonymity? No, there isn’t.
“How about several proxies?”
They are tracking YOUR connection point, not the servers. It doesn’t matter how many proxies you go through, it al originate and ends with your connection.
Forgot the biggest one of all. Social Media.
But then I don’t have a Facebook account and never have and never will.
I’m not worried one bit about my ISP.
Or..."Paranoia is just a heightened state of awareness."
It all depends on how ethical your ISP is and whether they see your information as a revenue source.
Anonymity is one issue, and I understand the difficulties with that. On the other hand, if every bit of personal information is knowable and/or known by those who want to know it and have the technical capacity, then bank accounts, passwords, medical information, essentially everything is fair game. I'm assuming encryption helps, but when I hear from people like you who have expertise, I think even in that assumption I'm being naive.
“HTTPS” in the URL, the little green address bar, and even the lock on the address bar can tell you that your connection to the other end is secured, if security of data between you and the web site is a concern.
Anonymity, forget it. Security, you already have it.
Encryption is fine as long as you change your credentials sufficiently often before the hacking machine breaks the current encryption. That’s why on important accounts, you should change passwords every 6 months, if not more often. It’s the continuing race between level of encryption versus latest computing power.
Thanks!
I can run Tor on my 64-bit rig. It may be a 32-bit browser, I don’t remember, but what difference does it make?
Try Epic browser. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what it will do for you!
CA....
Yeah it runs fine. Thanks. 8>)
Doesn’t have to be 64 bit to run right on a 64 bit system...
Some may like all the features but I prefer something less cumbersome.
Anyone have any thoughts or observations on https://brave.com/
