How to stay anonymous on your Android

  How to stay anonymous on your Android


 In this era of mass surveillance it has become more important than ever to keep your online activity away from preying eyes. In this war of anonymity TOR is the number one saviour. For desktop the setup is quite easy as it only involves installing the TOR browser but the process is quite complicated on Android.

Requirements:

A rooted android device and make sure that you have enabled application installation from unknown sources as some apps are not available on play store. Lets get started.


 STEP 1> Install Orbot 

 In its simplest form, Orbot, by the great people over at the Guardian Project, is the connector between your device and the Tor network. It facilitates the passage of data from your apps to the Tor network, but it can only do so with apps that support data being sent through a proxy. Because of that limitation, it's necessary to have both Orbot and OrWall installed on your device, since OrWall will help with apps which do not have proxy support.

 The first time you open the app, you'll have to complete the set-up wizard, but afterwards, all you have to do is long-press the Power button in the center to activate Orbot. If at any time you want to change your Tor Identity to a different IP address, you can swipe across the main screen, which will come in handy if you don't want to stray on the same IP address for too long.

 STEP 2> Install Orfox 

Last up we have the companion browser which the developers at the the Guardian Project created for Orbot, called Orfox. While Orbot creates the connection to Tor, Orfox is what actually lets you use it to surf the web.

 Since your data will be bouncing around through the vast labyrinth of international Tor servers, it will feel like your connection has slowed down, but that this the price you must pay for anonymity. As an added bonus, Orweb can also bypass most network restrictions so you can finally get in some quality Reddit browsing even through your office's firewall.

 Thats it! Enjoy your anonymity.

Monitor secret connections that your computer makes.

How to see which websites your computer is secretly connecting to? Has your Internet connection become slower than it should be?  There may be a chance that you have some malware, spyware,  or adware that is using your Internet connection in the  background without your knowledge. Here’s how to see what’s  going on under the hood. It’s worth noting that most third-party firewalls will probably give you  this same type of information as well as block things that are trying to  connect… unless the applications managed to add an exclusion already.  Better check anyway. So, how do you find out what the problem is? There is an easy method using the netstat  command from a command prompt window. This works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.  If you’re still using XP, make sure you are running at least Service Pack 2,  and just assume that somebody already hacked your computer because your operating  system is now a te...
