Title: Better anonymity (extra socks5 hop at exit node) ?
Post by: SniperFox on August 18, 2013, 03:31 pm
Hi, I am looking to improve my anonymity but unsure how I can use proxifier to achieve this.

My current connection is like this:

me (personal ISP) ---> vpn1 ---> entry node ---> relay node ---> exit node ---> destination

I will soon be getting an anon 3g usb dongle, and my vps service is offshore and allow payment with Bitcoin and UKash which tells me they take anonymity seriously. They also do not keep logs.

I want to have some connection like so:

me ---> vpn1 ---> entry node ---> relay node ---> exit node ---> vpn2/socks5 ---> destination

Are the above hops enough? How would I achieve this using windows and proxifier? I have been looking at vip72.com for socks5 after exit node. Help plz :)

Thanks

All this does is give you a permanent exit node (the second VPN), which greatly reduces your anonymity. With a static exit point and a semi-static entry point, it's easier for an attacker to pwn you. If you need an unblocked exit IP address, because exit nodes are blocked by so many web sites, find a random web proxy that isn't blocked, and use a different one each time.

See I was thinking of using web proxies in the tor browser, kproxy works well and I was thinking of using this also. Would that be fine?

me --> vpn --> tor --> web proxy --> destination

That would reduce your anonymity. "Look it's the Tor guy again who always uses the same proxy "

This is fine as long as you change web proxies. There are sites that list thousands of them.

OK thanks, are there any websites in particular that you could recommend that list them? Googled some but have only found 12 decent web proxies so far.
