 Intro + Safety Tips?

Hey everyone! I'm new here, deconverted about a year ago and was wondering: Any safety tips to keep my presence on here secret from my family / other people that use this computer? I use incognito mode in Chrome and frequently clear all browsing data. Call me paranoid, but I want to make sure before getting really active on this forum.

And I'll let someone more IT savvy answer the questions.

And THANK SO MUCH for responding. It's sad that I'm so happy about it but my life is really lonely right now.

If you want to keep it a secret from fundy parents or such like there is a "stealth-mode" option in the user control panel. Makes it look like a PC forum.

I use incognito mode in Chrome and frequently clear all browsing data. Call me paranoid, but I want to make sure before getting really active on this forum. In order of increasing paranoia: * Use incognito mode / private browsing mode and / or clear your history. ...on a non-shared user account. ...in conjunction with VPN or an encrypted tunnel if you're really paranoid. ...on a virtual machine ...which is stored on an encrypted volume (I used to recommend TrueCrypt, but that's no longer a viable option).  In your User CP (Control Panel) you can change your preferences. Click User CP (upper-right of login screen) Next click Edit Profile (Center left of User CP) Next, under "Additional Information", the third box down asks if you'd like to enable stealth mode - answer "yes". That should help. (September 2, 2014 at 6:10 pm)ShaMan Wrote: I don't think that actually does anything useful anymore. Could be wrong.
