Question

How do I become impossible to trace? I want to become 100% anonymous.

Community Answer

Probably by using Tor or a VPN and all fake usernames. The VPN will say you're from another country.

Question

How can I prevent hackers?

Community Answer

Usually, most websites track your history and stuff to better service you. They also know your IP address, so the best way to be anonymous is to do activity on a separate account that doesn't have any important information. That way, when a hacker does try to hack, he/she will not find anything important.

The easiest way to disable Javascript is to install the noscript plugin on Firefox or Chrome. Disabling Javascript can break some websites.

Question

How do I know which VPN service is the best to use?

Community Answer

They all have the same task. But if you want a cheap and fast VPN, I suggest using NordVPN. It's impossible to find a free 24/7 VPN.

Question

Will following all the steps without changing my system time get me caught?

Acuto Doppio

Community Answer

Not at all. Unless you are sharing screenshots online, nobody will be able to see your system time, not even websites. However, if you are sharing screenshots, it is suggested that you set your time forward or backward to match where you're supposed to be at least temporarily to take the picture.

Question

This article mentions not sending privacy data (i.e. banking) over a public Wi-Fi. Does that include if you're using a VPN? Does this mean I shouldn't use public Wi-Fi on travel, even with a VPN?

Community Answer

VPNs let you use the internet in full privacy by creating a private network only you have access to. So, you can send banking information using public Wi-Fi.
