Çevrimiçi Anonimlik Sağlama

Achieving digital privacy and anonymity is one of the best things you can reward yourself in this modern digital era. Although privacy and anonymity are two-faced, the good reasons to become private and anonymous outweigh the wrong reasons. Although one cannot achieve total privacy, you can always ensure that what is known about you is minimal. And here is how to do that;

PII'nızı aşırı paylaşmaktan kaçının

Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any piece of information or data that can be linked to a specific person. This data is mainly composed of your name, your face, social security number, date of birth, your home address, location and everything that points to you. Most of the time, you can share this data without knowing for instance, when it’s requested by some online services or even in social media platforms. If it’s a service that you can do away with, think twice before giving out your PII. For instance, what if a data breach occurs? Or your details are hijacked by malicious actors?

Güvende olmak için, her zaman sizinle ilişkilendirilemeyecek başka bir bilgi setiniz olsun. Örneğin, ikinci bir e-postanız olabilir ve bunu çevrimiçi alışveriş için, diğerini de sosyal medya için kullanabilirsiniz ve her zaman şifrelerinin birbiriyle ilişkili olmadığından emin olun.

Halka Açık Ücretsiz Wi-Fi'den Kaçının

Free public Wi-Fi is very enticing, and it can help you cut data costs. At the same time, it can be very costly if malicious actors intercept your internet traffic. Free public Wi-Fi has many vulnerabilities and threats lurking around waiting for unsuspicious users. Malicious actors can get to your data easily by eavesdropping, snooping, spoofing and even use other sophisticated attacks such as man-in-the-middle attacks. If at all you cannot avoid public Wi-Fi, use it for non-sensitive communication.

Halka Açık Bilgisayarlardan Kaçının

Public computers can be a threat to your privacy if malicious actors have taken control. That’s, public computers may have keyloggers that harvest user input data or other spyware that collect information without the user’s consent. If, let’s say the public computers are free of malware and you really need o use them, always turn on incognito mode/private browsing.

Private browsing is not that helpful against online malicious actors, but it will help you preserve your local privacy, browser level. For instance, after you finish surfing the internet, the next person won’t know what you were up to as the browsing history and cookies are cleared. Some browsers provide the ‘Do not track’ feature.

Gizlilik odaklı uygulama ve hizmetleri kullanın

Gizlilik odaklı uygulamalar ve hizmetler, minimum düzeyde veri vermenizi ve verilerinizin kötü niyetli kişiler tarafından ihlal edilme veya erişilme riskinin minimum düzeyde olmasını sağlamanıza yardımcı olabilir. Örneğin, arama motoru olarak Duck Duck Go'yu, mesajlaşma için Signal uygulamasını ve internette gezinmek için Brave tarayıcısını kullanabilirsiniz.

Tor kullanın

Tor, çeşitli düğümlerden ve aktarıcılardan oluşan bir anonimleştirici ağıdır. Tor kullanırken, internet trafiğiniz şifrelenir ve ardından ağdaki çeşitli düğümler üzerinden aktarılarak anonim hale getirilir. Bu aktarım sürekli rastgele bir şekilde yapılır, böylece trafiğiniz nihayet hedefine ulaştığında, verilerinizin kaynağı bilinmez, yalnızca çıkış düğümündeki adres ortaya çıkar. Bu, herhangi birinin sizi izlemesini zorlaştırır. Bu, gizliliğinizi gözetimden ve hatta trafik analizinden koruyabilen daha yüksek düzeyde bir anonimleştirme ile sonuçlanır.

VPN kullanın - IPBurger VPN

A VPN provides both security and privacy. A VPN ensures that your internet traffic is secure by encrypting it and tunneling it through the selected server until it reaches its destination. A VPN uses unbreakable encryptions standards such as the AES 256 bit standard. Through the chosen server, a VPN also assigns you a virtual IP address which masks your real IP address. This virtual IP address also hides your actual location, and this gives you privacy.

VPN üzerinden Tor

A combination of Tor and VPN can help you achieve higher levels of anonymity. Especially when the using Tor over VPN set up. In this setup, you connect to a VPN and then to Tor. This hides your actual IP address from the Tor network, your Tor traffic will be encrypted further, and your internet won’t be visible to prying eyes.
