Using Proxy Servers

[Piefke]

Probably it was a glitch since new year: Opera VPN and ISG are working again.

[Piefke]

The Opera browser (Android mobile and Windows version at least) offers browsing via a VPN to camouflage the sender location.

ISG is no longer accessible since some days (January 2020), when the VPN is turned on (off has no problem). Error message in the Opera Windows browser is "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. Server IP address not found" - maybe blocking via missing DNS information. Does anybody has a similar experience or knows a workaround (apart from VPN off) ?

Well, maybe I should not rely on a chinese owned company to hide my browsing habits. Western agencies seem to collect their information less intrusively.

Why can't ISG just use Lets Encrypt for the cert? It's pretty easy to install and get running. Or heck, even CloudFlare if it's allowed with them (It's as simple as turning on the option! HTTPS has to be enabled, it's 2017 and although I've read other people suggesting to setup but there has been no progress. Why is the security being ignored?

I try to always use a private browser when I'm on here and I never use my real name or email. I wouldn't use my real credit card either I would use a prepaid visa for my account. If I was to be more careful about who is watching me I would just use a program called TOR or Tails, both are designed with internet security in mind.

Happy hunting.

I love ISG, but it desperately needs HTTPS. Without it, there are big risks for many of us. Please sort it out.

I am at Hotel Taj Bangalore, all such sites including ISG cannot be accessed, any solutions.

Thanks

TOR is so slow, I use a hide my ass VPN sometimes which is okay for our type of security risks.

BUMP this topic up.

Lets get HTTPS! Time to take security and privacy very seriously!!

Isn't the case that by using Opera Mini the connection between the phone and the Opera server is secure and that the same is the case between the Opera server and the web page. Wouldn't that protect username and password?

I use Tor for decent anonymity, but Tor only works really well when you have end to end encryption, i.e. when the target site supports HTTPS. Without that, it is easily possible for the Tor exit point to spy on your communication, pick out your user name and password, etc.

Any chance that ISG will ever support HTTPS/SSL? Right now when I try to use it all I get is a poorly constructed redirect to port 80 (really if you are going to do that, you should also change the protocol to HTTP).

I have used Witopia which is not a free service (around $40 pa) but seems pretty professional. There is an excellent 24 hrs online help desk, you choose which server you want to be connected via e. G. Which country and so far I have not had any problems. Most of the time I am in Kenya and I can download BBC iPlayer programmes without a problem which are normally only available in the UK and on one occasion I wanted something from another site and was told it was not available to UK residents. I was connecting via the Witopia London server. Google it and see their website and what they say to make your own mind up.

This is a really, really good idea.
