Great Setup at all! Is VoodoooShield light on Resources? '
Very light!


I'm not using Opera.

ScriptSafe and Cydec Platform Anti-Fingerprinting have timezone spoofing/obfuscation feature.

When you use your VPN the zone and local time are changed when you select a different country. Your system time is not changed.

There are extensions to change/spoof timezone in FF/Chrome. You can try those and see
Any extensions for Chrome you suggest for me to use about spoofing timezone, this could be a major impact on privacy when using a VPN.

@HarborFront what do you think of this extension? Policy Control - JavaScript and Flash blocker

I think the Policy Control extension is for micro managing the website. I believe you can use uBO in non-easy mode or uMatrix to achieve more or less the same result.

Regarding the timezone when using VPN can you read

Also this

If I change my computers date / time, what could be affected?

Should I use Defraggler on my System too?
If you too. I use it in my setup. Quite a good software for defragging HDD, but do not defrag an SSD. This can cause problems.

Solid security config you've got going there, mate... :cool:(y)
What are your thoughts on NVT OSArmor v1.4, in terms of protection and resource consumption?
I was thinking of pairing it with Windows Defender.

Thank you my friend. Takes time and experience to get the correct set up for a personal config. :p
NVT OSArmor 1.4 is fab, the fact you can whitelist anything and create your own custom ruleset is a massive positive from v1.3. I would recommend using it alongside VoodooShield.
In terms of protection, does very well. In term of resource consumption, there's hardly any at all.

Have you tried the Google extension on Opera store? You'll be able to install it that way. Harborfront mentioned this to me.

Agreed! I use it with WD + VoodooShield. Some members consider it overkill. I call it hassle-free, lightweight layering! When I added SysHardener @ default my cpu usage on my old machine went down. All this with minimal memory impact!

Edit: cannot use ConfigureDefender due to OSArmor. Will not be using.

~LDogg
ConfigureDefender is not a real-time application, so the user can simply turn off OSArmor for a while and use ConfigureDefender to configure advanced Defender settings. After configuring Defender, OSArmor can be turned ON and all will work well. There is no need to change Defender settings frequently, so this procedure is not inconvenient.
Turning off OSArmor is not required when using default settings.

@HarborFront what do you think of this extension? Policy Control - JavaScript and Flash blocker
Policy Control is for JavaScript and Flash

If Flash is disabled/absent in your browsers then that leaves the control of JavaScripts. Whoer.net and browserleaks.com can show whether Flash is disabled/present in your browsers. As you are aware that indiscriminately controlling JavaScripts can break sites. So, do you really want to control JavaScripts?

As for Chrome/FF extension to change timezone I'm using Change Timezone (Time Shift), here

Change Timezone (Time Shift)

Too bad it does NOT have random setting (which will reduce your fingerprint) like Spoof Timezone. When used with a VPN the zone, local and system time are changed. I'll need to monitor whether changing timezone will interfere with my OS/other software

You can check your timezone from here

Date and Time Information - BrowserSpy.dk

One extension I can recommend is ChromeZero. Not sure if it can work on Opera.

Add-on - Chrome Extension Protects Against JavaScript-Based CPU Side-Channel Attacks


Edit - Change Timezone is causing my hotmail not opening the mails

Did you try refreshing your extensions pages when it was installing? I found this to be the solution for it when installing extensions from Chrome Web Store.
