Risks of cardsharing

Re: Risks of cardsharing

But if the linux receivers or some router would implement support for software like tor, and it was good for use with cs, it would be a very great function to use for more anonymous.

They do, it's called openvpn. So far it is only working with hide my ass vpn though, as far as I know.
****** openvpn dreambox or open vpn vu+ and you'll see.
Not easy to configure though!

Re: Risks of cardsharing

Yes you have not got me wrong but when you disconnect, your cline is not active too, therefore I assume when you reconnect it appears as no one is using that cline and it can be made active by another ip.

Correct me if I am wrong in my assumption.

hi mahrkpat

That's what I think also (although it's just a theoretically thought).
Little suggestion: perhaps someone (with a changing ip) can test this and report back. So we'll know whether the lines keep on working after ip-change or not (and then have to be changed manually afterwards).

Re: Risks of cardsharing

I really dont believe that hotspotshield will have the ability to hide your ip for all you clients. When your receiver talk to internet it go like this receiver-->router-->internet.
When you are on your pc you have the software hotspotshield(tor.etc) that tell your ip packets to go to a specified destination where it gets redirected to right destination. You can config your application on your computer to use tor network so everything you do on you pc will be anonymous.

But if the linux receivers or some router would implement support for software like tor, and it was good for use with cs, it would be a very great function to use for more anonymous.

hi mahrkpat

Are you using clines from here?
If so + also confirmed by bokkie (ip changes every few days): also not clear to me what toby exactly meant with 'i think if you change ip, you lose servers, only one username allowed'.
Seems possible though or did I get you wrong, or did you mean something completely else?

Re: Risks of cardsharing

I think Tor is a browser plugin, so yes I think you are correct.
hotspotshield is a program downloaded to your pc which you launch to route through a server.
I don't think either of these are compatible with a stb though.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

when I use Tor and I do security check on the web I appear with a different ip and even information about the browser is blocked in incognito mode but as mentioned speed drops a little bit, but at the same time if I'm using a p to p program to download, it doesn't seem to lose speed.

When I use Hotspot shield same as above but p to p blocked therefore does that mean that Tor only works with a browser and Hotspotshield covers access by all on your Lan.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

Well you're not really hiding, you're just connecting through a different server so that your I.P is different. That way if ever someone tried to trace you they would get as far as the vpn server and not your home i.p.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

I'm going to enter the settings in Openvpn which should theoretically hide my stb activity.
It is quite complicated though so might take a while to configure.

How will you test if your stb is hidden I'm using other vpn program but not sure what they are hiding.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

Bokkie, that is a software that you are going to use on youy pc. which will "hide" your pc network and not every client in you network. Or are you going to use that on another way that cover all your network?

Re: Risks of cardsharing

Yes I only subscribed so I could surf anonymously as I'm about to start sourcing the things I need to be anonymous when cs.
It is just an experiment and if allowed I will post the method of doing this once I'm finished.

Re: Risks of cardsharing

Thanks, that's already a confirmation about the speed (I suppose when you say 10 Mb that you normally have more).

Tip: I try to use the vpn only when it needs to be safe, but not when speed is important (even though on 1 pc/laptop this isn't so handy, because logging in the vpn takes some time - procedure).

Re: Risks of cardsharing

I think just for sats for now.
I tried to use it for download last week but was only getting about 10mb.
I didnt try all the servers though. There is over a hundred!

Re: Risks of cardsharing

hi bokkie

Will you use your vpn just for the sat, or for internet in general? Would like to know, because for work I'm forced to use vpn in some cases, but it's very slow (last week made a comparison and had only 10-15% of download speed in comparison with 'normal' internet - upload was better, but not so critical for me). According to 'our specialists' this is normal!?

Therefore, any feedback on speed welcome.

Thanks!

Re: Risks of cardsharing

I subscribed to hide my ass vpn last night and will give it a go over the weekend.
Have to configure open vpn and get some info from the vpn provider first though.
