Why You Need To Learn How To Vanish!

<html>
<p>Without the ability to keep secrets, individuals lose the capacity to distinguish themselves from others, to maintain independent lives, to be complete and autonomous persons. This does not mean that a person actually has to keep secrets to be autonomous, just that she must possess the ability to do so. The ability to keep secrets implies the ability to disclose secrets selectively, and so the capacity for selective disclosure at one’s own discretion is important to individual autonomy as well.
<p><b>Secrecy is a form of power.</b> The ability to protect a secret, to preserve one’s privacy, is a form of power. The ability to penetrate secrets, to learn them, to use them, is also a form of power. Secrecy empowers, secrecy protects, secrecy hurts. The ability to learn a person’s secrets without his or her knowledge — to pierce a person’s privacy in secret — is a greater power still.
<p>We want to help you exercise your unalienable right to secrecy, or in other words, to have you and your property left alone.

<p>Starting to vanish can seem like a massively complicated project. Please do not be intimidated but just take it one step at a time. Sure, you may feel overwhelmed and be wondering, <b>“Where in the world do I start?”</b>
<p>This article will give you practical and actionable tips with as much value as possible to solve the particular issue or circumstance. Sometimes the tips are basic. Sometimes the tips are complex. But never will your time or attention be taken for granted with fluffy time wasting suggestions.
<p>Sometimes this includes analysis of a law or court case, actual or potential uses of some technology or just current trends or events.
<p>But at the end of the day we want to help you protect your privacy, decrease your risk of being an identity theft victim and doing so completely legally so you do not break any laws.
<h2><b>Five Things You Can Do</b></h2>

Bitcoin will become one of your most powerful tools because it makes so much possible. And protecting your Bitcoin, or Steem for that matter!, involves understanding how to use asymmetric cryptography to secure and protect <b>private keys</b>.

One thing I don't keep private is how much I value my privacy. If the contradiction in that sentence strikes you as an oxymoron, good, it shows you're thinking. 

And this is but one minor example of the tension between the public nature of a blockchain and the pseudo anonymity that disconnects the immutable public ledger from real world identity. 

As a public ledger, blockchain technology is a powerful publishing tool for anything, including steemit posts, votes of an election, court decisions, deeds to land and payment history, all of which provide accountability and a highly secure WORM (Write Once, Read Many) database.

Being involved with BitShares for several years I have often commented on the juxtaposition and dichotomy between public blockchain information and the need for privacy.  When John Underwood's Identabit was first introduced I raised concerns of how it might affect BitShares. I was involved with Onceuponatime and the early formation of the BitShares stealth feature (now being spearheaded by kencode ofBitShares Munich) because I saw the need to protect what assets are owned from just anybody.

So for me personally the concept of a public blockchain ledger  and privacy/ personal control are quite contradictory.  It is the application of the tool that determines whether it will be used for good or evil, not the tool itself.

Anyone that claims they are not concerned about privacy today have not learned the valuable lessons history has to teach us. Who would want their monthly bank statements published in the local newspaper? The greater the balance in your account the more you'll probably want to hide it from the public.

Awesome sauce. I see its been a while since you last posted on the youtube channel?

I'm very tempted to start producing public content on this. I have a workshop at freedomhacker.tv/ safe precisely on how to hide your tracks as you surf the web and how to build a fort for your digital assets.

I got other projects live ofcourse, but I'm curious if we can collab. 

I'm on fb and tw. If you check it out, pm me. @juansgalt.

Thank you for this work!! I have been thinking a lot lately about the similarities with bitcoin and pgp. Both have public key cryptography, both have signatures, both are just systems of sending cryptographicallly signed messages. Big difference is bitcoin intersects with a blockchain to assure assurance at a global level and of course securitize a database/ledger  of record of not double spending the transactions or messages. And boom one becomes money because of this genius collection of technologies.

Other good options are:    

https://search.disconnect.me/  
https://www.unbubble.eu/    
and of course https://duckduckgo.com/  !

I recommend making duckduckgo your default search engine in your browser.  Get away from Google.  :)

How do you use a VPN for your IPhone and IPad. Sorry all new to this stuff also can you use a VPN for streaming devices. In the article he said avoid video surveillance cameras that's like avoiding air nowadays.

I remember an anonymous video a couple of years ago that gave instructions on how to install infrared led lights underneath the brim of a ball cap. Even though no one can see the light the cameras pick it up and makes your face look like a glowing orb so you are unrecognizable

**VPNs are a great privacy tool!** I like [Private Internet Access](http://www.howtovanish.com/privateinternetaccesshtvbanner) because they accept bitcoins and work with devices like iPhones, iPads and Android; kind of defeats the purpose to pay with a credit card linked to your name!

Privacy is eroding as our world becomes more digital.  If we do nothing, our privacy is at risk.  It is everyone's responsibility to be careful and understand the consequences to our actions and apathy.

This is a great post with lots of recommendations and resources.  The very first step, is the internalization that risks are going up.  Privacy violations can impact your safety, finances, reputation,  security, and ability to use various services.  Everyone must step forward and own the protection of their privacy.  Start with the simple decisions, like what to share online.

Nice advice. I feel that if I think too much about privacy issues, or being hacked etc etc, I just invite that into my life. Its a form being being fearful, of worrying. I can take the appropriate measures to ensure I am secured and then forget about it. I have no concern about my privacy online with anything. I have nothing to hide and nothing to lose, at least that is my perception. Sure a hack could lose me money on some platform, but I don't need to think about it. If I care too much it will of course happen, just to prove me right.

this is pretty bad.  whats next, the "paperchase" method for creating a new identity?

IDK if that howtovanish site is yours, but all the info on it seems extremely dated and most of it is effectively useless now.

Excellent tips.    

Here are some resources for people who are new to this stuff:    

Use this chart to choose the best VPN for your needs.  It is very detailed.  Basically you want one located outside of the "5 Eyes" countries and that does not keep logs.  Chart here:  https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/

Use these sites to switch out your commonly used software for ones which respect your privacy:    
https://prism-break.org/en/  
https://www.privacytools.io/    
  
Use ConfigFox to lock down your Firefox browser:  http://configfox.sourceforge.net/   

If you're using Chrome make sure you have addons like Adblock, Ghostery, and Https Everywhere.  And if you're using a VPN make sure to have WebRTC Leak Prevent.      

Use https://whoer.net/ to check your public IP and the information your browser makes available to the sites you visit.      

A few small changes to your usage habits can make a huge difference to your online safety.  Good luck!

Awesome tips. Will take a while to go through them all. We've just had our Census here in Australia and for the first time they are linking names and data. Fortunately IBM who had the contract for running it online fucked up big time and the whole thing crashed. Lol. Anyway keep these great stories coming.

Excellent information! I read a book called "How to Be Invisible," by J.J. Luna about five years ago, and have been applying a lot of the principles he teaches in my everyday life since then. Among the most powerful and useful techniques I've learned from that book, and other, smaller publications by Luna, are the importance of having "ghost addresses" and using shell LLC companies in states where the owner's name isn't public record (like New Mexico) to register things like your car and your house. In the five years I've lived in my current house, I've managed to keep my actual physical address out of ANY public record that I've seen, and I never get mail or deliveries here. Only people who know me well get to come to my actual home (I call it the Bat Cave). These are good things in today's world.

It would be wise to learn how to create a new identity if/when that time comes to  either "Get Out of Dodge" or go "Underground". https://www.amazon.com/How-Create-Identity-Disappear-Right-ebook/dp/B00BGXABP4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471719829&sr=8-1&keywords=how+to+create+a+new+identity

Good article.  The more privacy we have the more power we keep for ourselves.  Thank you for new ideas on retaining that privacy.

Excellent informative and practical post.  

I also found that my training with these guys go a long way, both tops in their field:

[Tracker School](https://www.trackerschool.com/)
[Kevin Reeve's On Point Tatical](http://www.onpointtactical.com/)

Thanks, for the info, Trace!

You would think we all would want to search for privacy and secrecy. But the way people post their daily lives in social media through that right out the window. You wonder what people are thinking as they post through FB and Twr exposing their daily lives.
