Remove Yourself from All Background Check Web Sites: A Master List

Remove Yourself from All Background Check Web Sites: A Master List
Indeed. Seems rather counter-intuitive to have to hand over your license, with your date-of-birth, address, hair color, eye color, height and organ donor status just to get a corporation to scrub your date-of-birth, address, hair color, eye color, height and God knows what else from their records. Very true. And even if you contacted all these sites by yourself, it seems like you are just confirming that its you and your information displayed are somewhat related. Just limit your information you post on the internet and once it's out there it's probably useless to contact them to remove it for you unless you are a friend with Lulzsec or Anonymous. Check out the above comment [lifehac.kr] - Seems they get a lot of data from sources one would think are private, so limiting things like your postings to Lifehacker isn't really going to help (Edit: Shortened URL) Yup, it is true.

Stealthy – Une extension Chrome et Firefox pour accèder à des contenus bloqués Stealthy – Une extension Chrome et Firefox pour accèder à des contenus bloqués Si vous êtes encore à la recherche d'un moyen d’accéder à des contenus qui vous sont bloqués, je vous invite à tester Stealthy, une extension pour Chrome et Firefox développée par la société du même nom qui permet de se connecter au net en passant par des proxys. Le service Stealthy propose avec un forfait payant des points d'accès aux États-Unis (pour Hulu, Pandora, Netflix...etc.) et en Angleterre (pour le player BBC) mais si vous souhaitez simplement masquer votre IP, vous pouvez vous contenter de la formule gratuite qui vous fera passer par tout un tas de proxys du monde entier. L'extension propose une liste d'exceptions qui permet d'indiquer quels sont les sites auxquels vous voulez avoir accès en direct. Evidemment, on ne sait pas forcement qui gère tous ces proxys surtout dans des pays rigolos comme la Russie ou la Chine, donc évitez de faire transiter des données sensibles lorsque vous l'utilisez.

4 Sites That Give You A Free Updated Proxy List So you say you can’t get on the open seas of the Internet at school/work/home? You’re concerned about men in black suits watching what you see? What you need, then, is a proxy server. You connect directly to the proxy server and it connects you to the rest of the Internet, using its IP address. Simple, effective, but more and more hard to come by. As groups continue to try to regulate your Internet usage, proxy servers are being shut down. Let’s see what we can find for free proxy lists of proxy servers you can use. Public Proxy Servers Around since 2002, PublicProxyServers is an independent, free service to allow you to find proxy servers for privacy and to circumvent browsing controls. I think what makes this an excellent service is that they track the performance of each server on their free proxy list. Poor performance, or slow download/upload speeds has been the biggest traditional complaint about using proxy servers. Stay Invisible Stay Invisible has more than just a free proxy list.

TOR Exemple d'un réseau TOR Tor est un réseau permettant de vous rendre "anonyme" sur internet, son fonctionnement se fait en transmettant les informations via une multitudes d'ordinateurs avant d'accéder a l'ordinateur demandé. Votre PC (le PC A) va demander une page web. Au lieu de se connecter au serveur directement, il va ici passer par un PC B qui lui demandera l'information à un PC C et ainsi de suite. L'ordinateur final, disons un ordinateur D va demander la page au serveur (par exemple Google.fr) et la retransmettre au PC C et ainsi de suite pour revenir au PC A qui recevra la page demandée, toutes les informations sont chiffrées. Nous aurons donc une communication du genre :A demande à B qui demande à C qui demande à D qui demande à Google Et ensuite :Google envoie à D qui envoie à C qui envoie à B qui vous envoie la page à vous (A) Autre exemple d'un réseau TOR Tor est un logiciel libre (sous licence BSD). Tor sous Windows Ne vous attendez pas à une vitesse de navigation supersonique.

Public Proxy Trashmail is a Feature-Rich Disposable Email Service @stevelong: That's interesting and worthy. In what context do you use your disposable email service? I only wonder if it would have limited appeal. That being said, an article highlighting how such a service could be used would be very much in be in the vein of LH. @stevelong: Agreed. @drongch: in what context? Generally, anytime I have to supply an email address for a company that has never emailed me before. It works like this: I have a keyword (let's call it "keyword") from spamgourmet. I am signing up to receive coupons from Arbys. The email address I give Arbys is "arbys.5.keyword@spamgourmet.com" Or I could use "roast.beef.keyword@spamgourmet.com" In the first case, the first 5 emails sent to that address are forwarded to me. If I like Arbys, I can go to spamgourmet.com and tell them to let through all emails to that address that originate from arbys.com (these don't count against the "counter"). @stevelong: +1 I've settled for spamgourmet.com and never went back.

PortableTor is an easy way to anonymize to your browsing - Download Squad There are plenty of ways to utilize the Tor network for a little added browsing privacy - like OperaTor, for example. If you'd prefer a single anonymity solution that can handle any browser, portable or not, give PortableTor a try. It's Tor, Vidalia (a GUI frontend for Tor), and Privoxy in a single, portable package. All you need to do is launch PortableTor and edit your browser's proxy settings to point at 127.0.0.1:8118 (the port can be changed). Even if you're not going to run it from a USB flash drive, this is still an uncomplicated way to anonymize your desktop browsing as well. The Sourceforge project page also list several Firefox addons that you may want to add for extra browsing security, like NoScript and No-Referrer. PortableTor is a free download for Windows only.
