  1. roll your own VPN by SethJohnson · · Score: 1 · on Top VPN Provider Accused of Sharing Customer Traffic With Online Advertisers (bleepingcomputer.com)

    Here's what I did. Perhaps it would work for your level of security / privacy needs:

    1. Rent VPS (Virtual Private Server) running linux. From my vendor, I get 2TB of data transfer per month for less than $5.00.

    2. Set up OpenVPN on remote CentOS linux server.

    3. Install OpenVPN on my laptop. Verify against DNS leakage.

    That process took about 15 minutes to set up and it's pretty straightforward. Security may be additionally enhanced by locating the remote VPS in another country, though your performance may suffer. The monthly cost of the VPS can be defrayed by using the server to host websites and files in addition to its service as a VPN gateway.

    Nothing :)
    Using DNSCrypt with your own DNS server / a blocklist actually works unlike a HOSTS file...

    First of all, use Whonix to access Tor, never the same browser you use for any other purpose. Second, use Firefox with a JonDoFox profile which is not included in Whonix Workstation by default. Third, go to ip-check.info and run the test on your browser. Everything should be green or yellow at the worst. If you see anything in red, fix it before you go to any questionable site. Finally, make sure you don't have any DNS Leaks in your host OS by running this test also from your regular host browser. Don't use or trust DNS from your ISP. If you want to be extra-cautious, run the Whonix Gateway after you establish a VPN connection. Choose an offshore provider that has multi-hop technology to avoid traffic analysis. I'm using iVPN who is located in Malta.

  8. Re:Is that a DOS vector? by slew · · Score: 1 · on VPN Providers Say China Blocks Encryption Using Machine Learning Algorithms

    Seems unlikely to avoid detection using a port like 53 (DNS services, something that filter all the time). Actually it's probably pretty easy to look at most standard port traffic and infer that they are being used for non-standard purposes.

    To make matters worse, even non-chinese ISPs have been known to intercept DNS requests and substitute their own responses

  9. Re:Wrong, there are laws, and this breaks one of t by sgt+scrub · · Score: 1 · on Security Consultants Warn About PROTECT-IP Act

    A few ISPs don't give you the choice (Warner Bros is one that actively does). All ISPs have the means to. If this passes, even if your ISP does not want to they will not have a choice or it will be done upstream. Transparent redirecting/hijacking unencrypted DNS traffic is trivial.
