[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 848991"] 1- hacking home users via public IP using port scanning, etc... is a thing of the past, since now we have dynamic IPs and router firewall, the task is too complicated just to target home users. Easier to phishing you. Those kind of manoeuver is mostly used against servers/sites with static IPs or people using torrent clients opened permanently. 2- the VPN chain you mentioned is indeed effective to remain anonymous but you have to trust the Tor Exit point and VPN. This kind of setup will drastically reduce your connection speed unless you have a very rapid plan. Using this is really for the most paranoid ones, criminals or political activists. Privacy concerned people wanting to hide their IPs just have to choose a good VPN provider. I heard and read lot of articles with dudes using fancy scheme like2-3 VPNs and Tor in different virtual machines, etc... This is great for research purposes, not really needed for real life use.
