Does anyone know how I can increase my score, if possible considering all variables are no even though I am actually using a VPN over a VPN router with a SOCKS5 proxy? And can someone please explain to me, if it's an anonymity test, why do you lose points for VPN and TOR? It's taken me a bit of perfecting and tweaking to get this score, but how can I boost it to 100% clean? Cheers cunts :)
I'm using Mullvad (via router, not desktop app), Windows 10 IoT LTSC, Ungoogled Chromium, and uBlock Origin (OG version, not Lite)
>>11813 Additionally I used wpd.app, privacy.sexy, privatezilla, and shutup10++
>>11781 >And can someone please explain to me, if it's an anonymity test, why do you lose points for VPN and TOR? Is it a test that measures your anonymity or how obvious it is that you're obscuring your identity? Subtracting from an actual measurement of anonymity would imply that using a VPN or TOR actually makes it easier for them to tell who you are.
>>11813 (Me) Tried again from Fedora Linux with LibreWolf and still got 100%.

vpns do not anonymize you !!!

>>11884 Yeah, I don't get it I'm just using Vivaldi with uBO and uMatrix and I got 100%
An explanation on VPNs: A VPN does not anonymize you. All a VPN does (in simple terms), is route your traffic over their server before routing to its destination, and vice versa. So if you use a VPN, The VPN provider mostly is easily able to uncover your real identity in case he needs to (that is, if he keeps logs, which some providers claim to not do, but we all know the PROBABLY do anyway...) A better way of using a VPN would be not linking it to your real identity by any means, such as paying in a mixed cryptocurrency, giving a fake name, E-Mail etc.
