I guess you could also install a squid proxy in VRS and use it. Not a real VPN, but still might be OK for some.
I imagine socks5 works too.
I imagine socks5 works too.
Right, and I think there are some options to use SSH as a VPN, too. For example: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/VPN-Over-SSH (but not sure, if you need something like tun/tap on the vps, too)
@William
Big thanks for your long answer!
But I have two more questions to understand your answer completely (My english is too bad to get that :P):
I think he ment a request from the German law enforcement. But as long as you don't harm any germans or violate german laws (with your server being in Germany) the German law enforcement should't care for what you do.
Since we are required to save the data for years no, they will still get it but your server will be gone by then likely.
Nothing of both, when it originates from German law enforcement.
Well, if you for example attack German sites or similar the German law enforcement will care, wherever you are.
Ordered a KVM Micro, look forward to trying it out.
@William
What you say is very interesting. I'm wondering: what about data retention?
It's me, the owner of virtual server, that i have to provide connection logs if asked, or it's the company which host the machine?
For example, if i run a proxy without logging are then gone all my browsing info?
And it's illegal or not?
BTW i am an happy edis customer.
Thanks!
Depends on your local law regardless of ours.
We do not need to log anything, in any location.
Yes, if it is abused and you have no logs they can likely sue YOU personally.
Depends on your country.
Thank you William, I understand.
So it's my local law that rules regardless the physical position of the server or the provider HQ.
I wonder how many resource an external observer has to use to discover my identity.
Maybe he is on nation A, the server on nation B, the provider on nation C and i am on nation D.
Only the provider knows my whereabouts.
Actually i'm not planning anything illegal or immoral or a generic abuse. I primarily use vps for vpn or personal email server, but i'm really interested on those twisting arguments.
I'm not, actually
Aside from not being sure what DDoS has to do with a whois, it's default policy at PRQ to use PRQ whois protection for any registered domains. After having issues with Dynadot, I moved the domain to PRQ. It's pretty much publicly known who I am and that I run AnonNews.
If the country is EU and asks for customer data we can ignore the request unless it was cosigned and/or justified by a court in Austria (in some cases an acknowledgement is enough too, for example if it originates from Germany) - If it is EEA/Outside the EU we can ignore it also*, they would need to get the same acknowledgement or cosignation in Austria too but simply don't get it (or not fast) as we have no exchange treatys with them (this EXCLUDES tax crimes since we have some agreements with some countries about this and Nazi crimes since there is a special law for it).
This all depends how effective our law enforcement works and how interested they are in cooperation, a russian court order for some dissident site is likely to get Ignored by our LEOs since they have no use for it - An Israeli court order for some Nazi crimes page on the other hand is likely not.
Since this process will take at LEAST months to get it through our complicated court systems you are likely not customer anymore or informed about them already before it is ever valid - Just switch location or ISP and start the same game again.
Thanks, that's a very in-depth answer
I won't assume law advice obviously, it's just good/interesting to have a general idea of what it works like.
Well, it is good to assume that the Government has unlimited ressources if they want you.
Only the provider knows my whereabouts.
In this case, we rather shut down and cancel the VPS than giving out customer informations - For protection of both the customer and us.
I approve this behaviour.
Thank for your time, William, i am totally satisfied of your answers.
Nothing. i was refering to you. Using a domain name that has PRQ info in it. and the domain itself says one thing. You are one of those lame hackers . (Script kiddies) who goes around ddosing websites.
And what exactly is wrong with that if there is pretty much only one registrar where you can be sure you won't get shut down for arbitrary TOS bullshit, and they happen to have as a default policy that all domains have WHOIS privacy? You may want to have a read at PRQs website, which clearly states that they accept anyone as customer unless it is ruled illegal by a Swedish court.
I'm sorry? Those are quite some allegations, what exactly do you base them on?
I don't see any reason to assume the above statement is true.
Well Anonymous is a bunch of script kiddys ddossing stuff. You run a news website for them.
Eh, no, it isn't. Not doing your research into what something is does not give you an excuse to call someone a 'lame hacker' or 'script kiddie' without having solid proof that that is the case.
Just take a look at the recent WHMCS stuff... A bunch of Anonymous skids with no sophisticated technical knowledge publishing peoples CC information and DDoSsing random websites.
Again defending there childish actions. Is there actually any attack these groups have done that isnt using a pre-made script. such as LOIC, Havij etc
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2006118/Ryan-Cleary-charged-cyber-attack-CIA-LulzSec-takes-revenge.html
And this is you is it not? http://screensnapr.com/v/V91avJ.jpg (Ignore the deployed in iraq part)
Come on guys, lets not make this personal.
Well thanks to these script kiddies my details are now online. (Not you)
So you are not considering your domain's whois "online"? :P
I ment personal information. As in information that isnt in whois. such as my phone number
The WHMCS hack was done by UGNazi, who explicitly stated they are not a part of Anonymous and do not work together with Anonymous in any way. Nice try, but no.
I'm sorry, where did I 'defend childish actions'? Do you have an actual quote for that?
Why the fuck are you even only looking at 'attacks'? Do you have any idea what Anons work on besides the quite vocal group of morons that likes taking down shit? Have you even done any fucking research whatsoever? Guess you didn't know that the anti-phishing plugin that prevented Syrian activists from being phished by their own government, was developed by Anons, to just name an example. Or that both Anon and Telecomix were responsible for the fact people in Egypt even had internet access when it was shut off by their own government nationwide. Let's forget that, shall we, because that doesn't conveniently fit into your Daily Mail narrative of 'Anonymous are terrorists and script kiddies'?
Yes, that is me - and a rather old picture I might add. And that matters how exactly?
Additionally, have you ever seen any actual proof whatsoever of me attacking anything? If you'd done any research into me at all you'd know I'm actually a very vocal opponent of tactics like DDoSing and breaking into servers, as I don't consider them constructive.
Maybe you should stop claiming I did things and do some research first - it's quite rude and offensive to accuse someone of doing things just because a few idiots are using the same name. And yes, that will get me pissed.
If someone goes through the effort of accusing me of things that simply aren't true just because he was too lazy and/or ignorant to do proper research, to the point where he actually manages to offend me - which is extremely rare - I will damn well point it out.
Why do you find it necessary to swear? are you taking this a little personally?
I was referring to DanielM comments.
Well, maybe because you are slandering me all over a public forum? Just an idea?
EDIT: Also, nice how you're conveniently dodging everything I said.
Fair enough, in that case I take back what I said.
Perhaps you could give evidence of the other. I have plenty of you being an anon member.
They ARE TERRORISTS though,
@DanielM One question, why are you trusting the Daily Mail.
Am not.It was just an article i found.
