I've heard it said that you can avoid ip leaks from javascript by using a VPN at the router level? Is this true and can it be done by using TOR on the router level as well?

Nanonymous No.1242 [D] >>1243

>>1241
yes, but that's not feasible on e.g. public wifi, and so javashit is still a bad idea.

Nanonymous No.1243 [D] >>1244 >>1259

It seems simple enough to get it configured on the router. Why haven't I seen this discussed much before? If simply setting up your router to go through tor negated every single ip leak I'd think there would be a lot more discussion about it.

Nanonymous No.1244 [D] >>1245

>>1243
Probably because it's less convenient to switch on and off. It also doesn't support udp and icmp, any such requests will either fail or cause deanonymization. Also a lot of people are npcs who need muh faceberg and muh 4chan.

>It also doesn't support udp and icmp
What about using a VPN on the router and tor browser with JS enabled? I presume any leaks would be the VPN's address?

>TOR on the router level
This sounds error prone to set up. It'd be easy to accidentally reuse a circuit for multiple services which could connect you separate anonymous identities.

Why can't you just have it choose the connection based on the host: same host = same connection, different host = new connection?

Nanonymous No.1259 [D] >>1269

>>1243
It's tedious because the protocols don't handle all the quality-of-life improvements that are found in the apps (connectivity checking, world map/server switching, app exceptions, etc etc etc) so everything has to be done manually.

Nanonymous No.1269 [D] >>1280 >>1739

It's fantastic. I use an old computer as a router, its many times faster than the $250 black box o' shit you can buy at Best Goy. It's easy to route traffic through or around the vpn, and if the vpn is down, no traffic is going through it.

>>1259
<But muh apps
Convenience is the enemy of security, why would you use a closed source app when they all use openvpn or wireshark?

Nanonymous No.1275 [D] >>1276

>>1251
For some servers you want your identity to constantly change, and for others you would like it to stay the same.

Nanonymous No.1276 [D]

>>1275
But this would depend on the host, so the router could be configured to route these differently.

Nanonymous No.1280 [D] >>1284

>>1269
Quality of life is important. Being able to easily/auto rotate through IPs is important and I haven't seen any routers which are able to handle VPNs that well at all, which means you'd need a whole machine set up as a gateway instead, plus shell script fuckery unless you're some goddamn wizard who can make custom firmware.

Nanonymous No.1284 [D] >>1289 >>1291 >>1308

>>1280
You don't have to be a wizard to write a script to rotate your IP every 10 minutes. If it takes you more than 30 minutes of searching to figure out, then you have nigger level IQ.
If you aren't familiar with the true realm of the white man, the command line, then you know nothing of the true power of computers.
The only thing modern bleeding edge computers can do better than a 10+ year old computer, is vidya and extreme processor dependent tasks, like rendering.
I dunno, maybe I'm part wizard since I didn't bone a bitch until my 20s. Just don't be a nigger and peddle non-free shit, it's going to bite you when it matters.

You know that Richard (((Stallman))) has admitted to never installing GAHNOO SLASH LOONIX by himself, right? It's up in a video somewhere.

Ok I guess I'm a nigger, pls tell me how to do it on command line. ifconfig doesn't exist on debian and every website shows how to do it with ifconfig.

It's been a long, long, LONG time since I've touched a debian-based distro but I think it might be at /sbin/ifconfig which is not in the $PATH by default. No linux distro omits fucking ifconfig of all things.
Or did the recent systemdick fuckery remove it?

I believe that they've recently replaced ifconfig with the helpfully named "ip" command. So just google "how to change ip address ip" and you'll be good to go.

Um, why don't you just order a refurbished router that is compatible with OpenWrt and set up OpenWrt as your router software to do the job?

Windows Command Line
ipconfig

And I consider myself not as knowledgeable as others on command line / Terminal.

Doesn't using something like whonix essentially do the same thing and circumvent any chance of JS leaks?
