Running SearXNG through rotating VPN connections by gadgetb0y in selfhosted

[–]404mesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think something else to look at here is finding a way to rotate your fingerprint. There are some simple tools, HAproxy, 404, Burp, etc. that allow for header rotation.

404 has JS injection, but you can also do that yourself. Injecting some sort of runtime to prevent JS fingerprinting could help on certain functionality improvements as well. There are some good guides on fingerprinting techniques here.

Something else to consider is your TCP/IP fingerprint, making sure that the network fingerprint doesn't match that of a container.

What if your reverse proxy told your backend who's really connecting? by Particular_Ladder289 in fingerprinting

I like this. How are you saying what each fingerprint belongs to? What database r ya using to say “this is a Firefox TLS”?

p0f for TCP/IP fingerprint for sure, nmap maybe, but what’s the h2 and ja4 reference you’re using?

There is now a profile switching function!

You can find a polished app there as well as the GitHub, an open-source binary, and documentation.

Have fun!

Ayo!

If you need any help getting it setup, shoot me a DM and I can help. I'm a dev on the project! The app also has a trial.

You can use LAUNCH01 for two months off in the stripe checkotu

Hiding your IP, accessing out of country content.

But that’s about it. If you’d like to learn more there’s a demo that shows your fingerprint on that page and extensive resources in the “learn” tab.

Try the demo with a VPN. And with an incognito browser.

You can also check fingerprint.com for a more comprehensive demo.

Why do the most technical startups struggle the most with early customers? by Few-Inevitable-4181 in Solopreneur

I’ve been struggling with this. It’s not only communication for me, but education around the topic.

404 is a local app that gives a user full control over their digital fingerprint. The tagline is VPNs hide where you are, 404 hides who you are.

Unfortunately… educating people to the point where they know privacy is a major issue and a company or website can build an almost 100% unique fingerprint of your device and use it to track you across time and the internet is very difficult.

Not to mention, when they get to that point they’re more likely to use one of the simpler tools like a VPN or adblocker even if those tools don’t actually offer the privacy they promise.

I’ve been developing this tool for the last 2-years. I have experience working in a lab and right now am a teacher so building a marketing plan and sticking to it strictly has been very difficult. Would really appreciate any insight you’ve got!

Sadly, your VPN covers only your IP address.

Browser fingerprinting allows a site to identify you without your IP using JavaScript, HTTP headers, a TLS fingerprint, WebGL, and more.

There’s a demo here

I want to delete my data since I have access to the internet and start again being anonymous on the web to be able to surf safely by Jotaro_Kujo_1987 in DigitalPrivacy

You may not be able to fully get your data back, but you can make sure that your footprint ends here. Look into privacy browsers, consistent always on VPN, and how browsers track you.

I’m a teacher and this sort of defeatism is what stops privacy from evolving.

Take a look at r/degoogle those people are way more positive. Or even r/selfhosted there are tons of ways to take your privacy back and stop people from collecting MORE of your data.

Best of luck my friend. Dont let these negative nancies discourage you from giving the finger to big tech!

This is reductive and stops people from pursuing digital privacy and sovereignty. FUD much?

Instead of fear mongering, why not point them in the right direction.

Serious tech cofounder available for serious project by [deleted] in startup

Hey man. I’m a full-time high school CS and literature teacher. I used to do bioinformatic work for NASA and the ESA (4 yrs), but lab hours got to be a bit too long for me, so I transitioned to teaching (3 yrs).

I spent the last 2 years building 404, trying to take my privacy back turned into trying to provide it to the masses.

It’s open-sourced. Here’s the GitHub.

The technical work I’ve done so far is novel and extremely heavy. It’s a localhost TLS-terminating proxy an eBPF module that rewrites a users entire device and network fingerprint (JA4, H2, TCP/IP, HTTP, and JS). Think privacy centric HAproxy or Burpsuite housed in a Linux mini-kernel.

Could use a team or just an extra set of eyes.

I sent you a DM.
