Cyber 1.4 – f@#$& internet anonymity,

Internet Privacy – why is it important?

• Because internet is a giant playground, there is people out there who like to collect you data, use your data, sell your data and limit your data.

Internet privacy

• Problems? These are the main topics of the internet privacy.
  • Tracking
  • Sniffing
  • Vulnerabilities
• Who is listening?
  • Everyone
    • Kiddies, who want data for logins and stuff to troll you or steal your data (bank data etc..)
    • Internet marketing tools – track what you do and where you go to resell. Tracking Cookies is a huge thing for banners and other Marketing tools – Great for Spammers.
    • ISP -> Internet Service Provider Mainly ISP’s like a cable companies are known for listening in on what you are doing in the internet to charge extra and or sell different thing using different tricks, this include throttling your internet speeds to get you to pay for additional service and / or equipment.
      • Example, here was my troubleshooting steps over the weekend after taking notice.
        • Login router
        • check ip. (Refresh IP)
        • change dns server 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 (4.1.1.1)
        • changed to the dns of the isp (made things worse)
        • changed DNS back
        • reboot router
        • reboot cable modem
        • Issue still persist
        • isolated my connection and directly connected to the cable modem
        • mac address changed seen from modem
        • internet was back to 300/30 (ish)
        • restored everything and everything was normal for another 30 minutes
        • issue then returned while streaming again with OW.
        • called isp
        • isp tells me they can’t help me and that I needed to upgrade to their gigablast (1GB Down / 35Mbps up)
        • They recommended that I would lease a new cable modem from them (as I own my current one bought from frys)
        • frustrated I tried to do different setting with both OBS and StreamLabs OBS.
        • found no real solution just to drop the quality as horrible as possible just to stream.
        • Still did not resolve issue.
        • So I then seeked out some help on few different discords for  streaming help.
        • That is when someone suggested to try a VPN service
        • Monday after work I turned on my VPN that I normally use with my phone for public wifi’s
        • With that, I had a solid connection, testing with a twitch bandwidth tool, I have found that I had a solid connection to even almost every twitch server and it was much better of a connection than I had with the ISP.
        • I was able to test and had a solid stream for over 6 hours with no dropped frames and back to hi-def with StreamLabs OBS and with that, I had a successful stream with Overwatch.
        • Moral of this story: ISP throttles stream, just google your isp + throttling twitch streamers.(IE: Cox Throttling twitch streamers)
      • Tools:
        • Browsers: Extensions
          • Adblocking
            • Not just for basic annoying ad’s it is also for protecting again possible 0day vulnerabilities that could exploit your current browser and load a ransomware into your computer.
          • HTTPSEnywhere –
            • Helps again Man in the Middle attacks
          • VPN – Virtual Private Networks
            • Tunnel your internet / network traffic
            • Data is not logged (depends on VPN Service)
            • ISP cannot read what you are doing (see above)
            • Public Wifi’s always a must use tool
          • Antivirus still a thing
            • Some have extensions to help with vulnerabilities and malicious content.
          • Just be mindful what you do.
        • This is all for now, as I review there will be a v1.4.1 by Thursday
