Private browsing and anonymity

Laura

Inspired by last discussion at misterpoll.
Most of us don't want other people to disclose our secret, e.g. wearing a chastity belt or interest to the subj.
Private browsing is good, but might not be enough. So tell your concerns here.
As opposite this forum is supposed to be anonymous, you don't have to tell about yourself things, you don't want to. You can choose any name, no verification is required. You can even use an anonymizer, if you wish.
Sometimes it's hard to share your secret, but this forum is the right place to do it.

Laura I thought I had to verify my email. So it’s not really anonymous. My parents have a lot of rules for my web use but as long as I follow them, my parents don’t look to closely or follow my chat history.

I've read that Mozilla Firefow plan to use TOR in its private mode in the future,so it could be the more anonymous one after they release it.

Laura

Vanessa You can do it even now. Run tor on your PC and connect your browser through the SOCK5 proxy port 9050. I explicitly allow connectivity from Tor here, understanding that chastity belt wearers might want to remain anonymous.

Raziel When more minors start showing up, what would prevent them from seeing adult content by mistake?

We have the separate tag for it, making a topic not accessible for everybody. And we can add more groups and restrictions later on.

Raziel I know the chastity belt is already pretty much an adult topic from their household

I disagree with it, it doesn't describe sex itself. Otherwise we can call wedding as adult topic as well.

Tor is, of course, the highest possible form of ananymity. However, it has some (serious) limitations. With Firefox and a few settings and add-ins, I find it also works. Of course, this is mainly aimed at ad networks and inquisitive big American corporations.
Therefore, what I do:

Settings in Firefox:
Settings -> Privacy & Security ->
1.) Improved protection against activity tracking -> Strictly
2.) HTTPS only mode -> Enable HTTPS only mode in all windows.
3.) Enable secure DNS with -> Minimal protection.

Add-ins:
1.) CanvasBlocker
2.) Firefox Multi-Account Containers
3.) NoScript
4.) Temporary Containers
5.) uBlock Origin
Since it is no longer necessary through the cookie jars (Multi-Account Containers) nor additionally:
6.) I don't care about cookies

All settings in Firefox described above I translated from german. Maybe the settings have a different name for you.
If you need help setting it up, please ask @Laura for my email address.

By the way, HTTPS only mode is required for Tor. Otherwise all Tor nodes can read everything you look at.

Way too complicated.

Do not use Windows. You simply have no control over what data the system tracks without your knowledge.
Use Tor (easiest via Firefox plugin)
Use a VPN.
If you wanna go crazy: combone 2 and 3. That should make your address hard enough to track so that nobody will put in the time and effort, unless there is evidence you are preparing a terrorist attack (in which case clandestine services worldwide will put their super computers to work to break through whatever concealment of your digital traces you attempt).

Mr-TM

No, not really. Most settings (e.g. https) should be enabled in any case. The add-ons only need to be installed. With noScript and the Mutliple-Account Containers you have to confirm at the beginning for the pages you visit how they should react and that's it. I have not had to make any settings for a long time.
With Tor you should know what you are doing and how it works. Otherwise it can happen that you give your data to the wrong people. But, in my opinion, if you have an active account in social media, you don't need to take it into consideration anymore.

sometimes i wonder what exactly people are afraid of ?

Always remember this is a forum for a global audience. One might live in autocratic regimes, face "security agencies" and/or mighty companies known for misuse of power. You could be an influential or aspiring politician, a public figure, afraid that opponents/rivals might somehow use your communication for smear campaigns. Or you could simply want to be more discrete, keeping more control over what information about you is circulating around.

EngineeringEmily

Angelina locking someone in chastity after they change their mind isn’t exactly 100% legal in USA. I read that “forced” wear is not aloud on this forum. But, many of a cool down period or some other agreement if they ask for it to be removed. Not always legal to keep a chastity belt locked on someone after they want removal. So, there are some things on this site that some users would want to remain at least semi anonymous.

Make it even easier brave browser has TOR (and AD blocking) built in. Last time I looked when a company reviewed browsers for security and least communication with the creator... 1. Brave 2. Firefox and who'd think 3. Google Chrome.

For those who don't know. Brave, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge all are based on the open source project called Chromium.

then simply use a synonym or a false name. Angelina is my real name, but can I prove it? No!. I admit it's tricky, but on the internet we leave our traces all day long. If you want to be anonymous, don't use the internet at all.

Angelina I don’t use my last name or ever give a location more specific then east coat usa. There are tons of “Emily’s” that live in the USA.

right, but you don't have that because you still need the money for your studies, so you accept it as part of a deal that is very hard for you, but not completely involuntarily

You are a very interesting person. You are the age on the border of high school and college. You live in the Eastern US. You know a lot about cars. e.g. your discussion of the Tesla X. Your English is poor for an American.

You just spelled "allowed" "aloud". On Dec. 5, 2022 in the Introductions thread CharInChastity spelled "allowed" "aloud". She lived partly in PA, knew much about cars, spoke poor English for an American.

You and she are the same person.

Laura I never heard of proton mail. I used my skiff account which says they are secure, but who knows.
