optimus53 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Guys, I am looking for a device that can hide my IP as well block spams. Is there such a device in the market today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 No. Hiding your IP (I assume for surfing) is handling web traffic. To block spam you need to filter you email. There may be some high end corporate appliances but not user level. To hide an IP use an anonymous proxy, to remove spam , I use Google mail, they do a really good job.

optimus53 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I use google mail as well I was thinking if there was device that can do IP spoofing for the whole network otherwise a firewall is what I need to control TCP/UDP traffic to and fro thanks.

digininja Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Why do you want to change the egress IP for all your traffic? There is a big difference between hiding an IP address and using a firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus53 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just dont want someone checking on my internet traffic as it can determine when im on vacation or not. While its spoofed it would be harder to track my geolocation and monitor traffic. Although I can setup bots to emulate internet traffic to and fro .

digininja Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Who is going to be monitoring you to see if you go on vacation? Who is your adversary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus53 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Definitely ceh questions :) just for security in general there is a device I am interested in ubiquifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I wouldn't touch ceh with a barge pole, it is a basic security question, you have to know who you are working against. So, who is your adversary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimus53 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 No adversary just security in general when I interface the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 You can't create a good defence without deciding who you are defending against. If you are worried about people knowing you are on vacation then you must have thought about it. Thieves aren't going to watch your network traffic to know when your house is empty.Your ISP is going to know whatever you do as even hidden traffic is traffic. The government isn't likely to care and if they do, they have better ways to find out. Hiding your IP isn't part of general security, it adds very little protections, all it does is obscure your egress IP address. It doesn't stop tracking unless you are very good at OPSEC. It doesn't stop things getting into your network, that is perimeter defence. It does stop places you are connecting to knowing your location but only if you use it all the time. For general useability it can often make things worse as you end up with sites delivering content in the language of your egress location not your native one.
