Protecting your anonymity when posting here

Admin · Jan 20, 2019

I do not know how secure the current setup is, before the restoration of this forum several people i didn't trust could access ip and email information. Now its hopefully only me and the company hosting this forum.

You do not actually need a valid email to register here, i can manually enable new accounts. You can just make up some email adress ending with vintologi.com or vintologi.se

Being 100% anonymous will allow you to discuss more freely without being worried about legal or social consequences.

I myself do not have much to lose and thus i do not bother to hide my real IP, some people that hate me already know my identity but they have not yet been able to harm me. I even consider posting a picture of myself later, i am not afraid.

Why you may want to reveal your identity
Vintologi is a new cutting edge religion vastly superior to existing religions, for this reason you may want to reveal your identity in order to get fame and status.

So far only powerleas neonazis has worked against me and i never got into trouble for the controversial conclusions i made from the basic assumptions in vintologi.

One compromise is to simply register here via alias, not hiding your ip and maybe reveal your identity at a later stage.

The event chain is the following:

Browser connects to default DNS server obtained from your IP settings (usually automatically obtained from DHCP)
A DNS query is a simple unencrypted name-value lookup. The query is what's the IP for vintologi.com
This query is recursive, your isp's DNS server looks up who's responsible for .com domains, then queries another DNS server for that particular domain.
Your browser now knows the end server's IP (or a service like cloudflare or bitmitigate's) It initiates a tcp connection to it using port 443 (default for SSL)
It initiates key exchange and validation and starts an encrypted communication. Only now things are secure.
it sends http commands, it's a simple query that goes like this:
GET /index.php HTTP/1.1
HOST: vintologi.com
{blank line}
The server answers with the page's header and content

On our end, you might have set xenforo to retain IPs only 24h but the web server software has another log. It's possible to turn that off too but that would be deleterious to troll/spammer/robot detection and management.

In any case, all traffic that enters or leaves the data centre where our VPS lives is most certainly logged too. That part is the weakest link and not under our control, so I see little reason to deprive ourselves of the logs we do have access to. All this traffic is encrypted though, but the data centre certainly has access to our private key too. We do use a free speech defending host that might not that easily want to give it away to authorities though.

Reasons for remaining anonymous
There are a lot of downsides associated with open political activism. How tolerant your government are of extreme views will change over time, in the future we may not have free speech in the same way.

The government is far from the only actor able to make the life more difficult for someone politically active. By keeping a low profile or being completely anonymous you will be able to avoid trouble now and in the future. People that have kept their head down will potentially be able to engage in illegal revolutionary activities in the future.

Bill Rhyes (nazi) are wrong on a lot of things but he is correct in open political activism being a bad idea when your views are highly unpopular.

Limiting our causalties in conflicts
Only supporters that have outed themselves can be targeted by our enemies on conflicts. Thus making sure most people supporting vintologi are anonymous will allow us to take conflicts other movements would be unable to take due to the prize being too high.

It's like playing no limit holdem 1000BB deep with a rule stating you cannot lose more than 10BB for a hand while your opponent can lose 1000BB to you, you can just shove all in over and over again and the best option for your opponend will be to fold all the time (if the number of hands is limited enough).

Avoid doxxing yourself
make sure your non anonymous accounts cannot be linked to your anon activism, in addition to hiding your IP you should also use the following strategies
-do not give out any personal information via anon accounts.
-use a different writing style for anon accounts.
-do not reveal your real views to anyone IRL.

How to use tor
You just need to install tor browser.

Android: "tor browser alpha"
desktop: "tor browser bundle"

This will also allow you to access the dark parts of the internet such as .onion adresses

If you have an old account where you are not fully anonymous you may want to create a new account.

By creating a new account you benefit from the increased security standard on this forum that i was able to implement after i restored this forum.

There is no limit on the number of accounts you are allowed to create on this forum, you can create a new account for each new post if you want, only problem with that is that it may become obvious you are the one doing that so it might not actually be that great of an idea.

IP grabbers
It is possible to make a link that will log ip information about visitors

https://blasze.com/
iplogger.org
https://grabify.link/

It is also possible to use services such as https://tinyurl.com/ to hide the fact that you are using a logger. If you have paid for a domain that will also work since it will allow you to create a create a url redirect such as www.vintologi.se to https://vintologi.com/threads/simple-introduction-to-vintologi.10/

This is one of the reason why i only allow approved users to send private messages here.
