I'm not sure I understand why it would raise red flags. The forum guidelines advocate anonymity. I just took it one step further by not trusting the owners that I don't know and their security practices into which I have no insight. I've been very clear and honest about my intentions and my...

For anybody who might someday read this: I seem to have solved my problem by restricting my exit nodes to ones in the US. Google "torrc exitnodes" for more information. As for the session issue, I think that checking "remember me" has given me a second cookie that does the job. My problems...

I suppose it comes down to whether or not I feel that I can be as honest as I wish. The machinery is heavy-duty, sure, but to me it's just an icon that I double-click. I'm willing to have a slightly slower connection to not have to worry about it. As for what I'm worrying about: I don't know...

It's not bothering me so much as a suggestion. I can store the self-signed cert locally and be done with it, but it'd be nicer for other people who happen to want to use HTTPS with this web site if they don't have to take the gamble of deciding whether or not the cert is a man in the middle. It...

That's effectively what Tor automates. It does more than that and is easier to use, but the exit nodes I'm referring to are going to appear similarly to anonymous proxies.

http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35802&goto=newpost Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent the owner(s) of the site and every intermediary between my house and the ISP hosting the site from knowing that I visit here. That's a fair statement. I'm sure that, for many people, it is...

Unfortunately, no relation. He's also a hero of mine. I still haven't "come out" to the world, so I'm choosing to remain anonymous for now and chose Feynman as a pseudonym as a kind of statement about what is important to me. I don't disagree, but I'd rather approach that topic slowly and from...

I use Tor to access these forums anonymously for privacy reasons. I've found that a small subset of the exit nodes are banned by IP address and I would like to advocate that they not be. There are many more exit nodes that are not banned, so it's quite easy for anybody causing trouble to get...

I noticed that HTTPS is enabled for these forums, but that it is using a self-signed certificate. I just wanted to point out that there is a free CA that will issue SSL/TLS certificates for a domain without requiring any payment: StartCom. Their web site interface is horrible and it's quite...

For me, it's all about how people approach those kinds of topics. I love debate so long as both sides come to the table with reasonable, fact-based evidence to support their side. When it breaks down into anecdotes or reiteration of propaganda-sounding hyperbole, I shy away and would rather...

I'm a straight male in a long-term relationship with the love of my life. For all intents and purposes, we're practically married. I fell into a polyamory situation quite by accident when I realized I had feelings for a childhood friend several years into my current relationship. I opted to be...
