PSA WHEN SHARING LINKS: Please remove anything that comes after a `?` in the url. It is a tracker and puts any Pede that clicks the link at risk of being doxxed by big tech.
Not quite. See mod comment.
Please be careful out there Pedes. ALWAYS check and clean your links before sharing.
EDIT:
Getting a lot of comments about valid use of query parameters (parts with the ? in a url).
It is true, not every query param needs to be removed from a url.
But if you are sharing anything from twitter, fb etc, please remove it (feel free to test the link before hand to make sure it is working)
What's a 10 min email? Is there a way to only use a VPN when browsing the web without having to turn it on/off? (Sometimes I play video games and don't want the lag due to routing through a VPN.)
I think he is referring to the email address generation sites that are active for 10 minutes so you can register something before they expire and there is nothing to link it back to you
Ooo what would be some other sites that people could make use of? A list would be awesome (not just from yourself)
There is a privacy community on here at https://communities.win/c/Privacy which has some links. I wish it was more active so maybe this post might encourage people to engage in this more.
Oh awesome! Thanks heaps :)
Yeah hope so, I mean I didn't know about. Perhaps post it as its own as a reminder. Obvs up to you
One way is to create a virtual machine (VM). You can connect to your VPN from inside the VM and do all your anon browsing from inside of it.
Also, many VPNs provide access to SOCKS5 proxy servers. If your provider does, you can also open a SSH SOCKS tunnel and route your browser traffic through said tunnel.
Here's some tutorials and more information on that-

SOCKS5 isn't as secure as a VPN (packets aren't encrypted so ISP can perform deep packet inspection) but for simple browsing, it works nearly the same as long as you set up a tunnel.
And for your purposes, doesn't slow down your gaming.
thanks mate
If your VPN supports split tunneling technically this can be done but you would need to record what network requests your games make and add those to the list not going through VPN.
