[QUOTE="JasmineJasmine, post: 488822, member: 50582"] As I see it, in terms of privacy the keystone remains the user's IP. If it's not faked than all other privacy tools are somewhat useless, but if it is faked (with a good and reliable VPN) then all other privacy tools can make the difference and even the very pertinence of a hidden IP : not only a VPN user would be recognized if other tools are not active but moreover that user would be spotted as hiding himself, which is like a double slap! I may be wrong but, consequently, if IP is true then privacy tools aren't really worth it. Am I wrong? I forgot one thing though : how can a site be sure the user's spotted IP is not faked? if it has no means to be totally sure than my above argumentation would be invalidated. Reminds me "Secret Agent Man" sung by Austin Powers, way back in time :) [/QUOTE]
