Hi so VPN Anti Hacker questions

[Axed]

Hi so this is probably a white hat question but if I am trying to establish security to have a rotating residential vpn proxy service through an att arris router I came across one problem already. Arris doensn't work with Norton vpn unless the native firmware is updated. Will i get in trouble with att for that and would it be hard for me to do update native firmware in an arris router myself or should i call att and see what vpn is supported with their router? Is there a vpn that works with the att arris router?

The idea for rotating is we always had to change our static ip before a vpn so i thought a proxy service might rotate the ip addresses regularly.

I want vpn security to protect my self from bad bad hackers so my 81 year old mom can live stream a jewelry show on the internet for fun.

I would not take that amount of security at the starting point just wait until it become viral and then u can get the security.
The chances of someone taking the IP are pretty low unless your mom click on sketchy links you are going to be safe check your ip it should be dynamic just in case that someones gets the IP.

She wouldn't normally need that security but unfortunately because of the social engineering of the past I at least want to get her a vpn if she is going to conduct business on the internet.

If you're going directly through your Arris, you may need to Bridge your modem and get a router to connect it to. Your router should be fine with your use of a VPN service. All of it may be a bit overkill, in my opinion. Just get Bitdefender and call it a day.

EDIT: No, your ISP probably won't want you logging into the modem, BUT, if you are going to do that, call them and have them walk you through the process. If you change the wrong settings, you'd probably end up having to call them, anyway. So just call them, explain what you want to do, and let them give you the next steps. They can log in, remotely, and set the configurations for you. Or like I said, buy Bitdefender.

Thank you I just figured out the arris is a modem which is different from the router. The router plugs into the modem, and the VPN is on the router, then how does this protect all the wifi from the phone? It is getting bitdefender for the phones? So, I tried downloading bitdefender onto my phone but it wouldn't work. I already have turbo vpn for mobile on my phone. Do you think they conflict? Also I was hold with ATT for 6 hours over questions and bounced around. It would be quicker for me to learn about computers and do this myself.

What exactly are you trying to do?
Why do you feel you need a VPN?

Let's explicitly tackle these two things, first.

My mom is having a business live streaming by phone and computer. I want to protect her from big time social engineering attacks. "Enemies" social engineer because they can. I want her to have fun, and I want to protect her work and protect us from email tampering, bot attacks, and all the bad things that have happened in the past. We were put on a VPN before, and yes maybe it's over kill. I am a beginner with computer safety.

Then, I want to gradually learn how "they" did every single thing the social engineers did to me, how to protect myself, how to protect others going through this, and how to take my computer and emails they tampered with and prove they did it. If for my own sanity.

How will you stream it, with custom website? You could get cloudflare.
You can also probably update the router if it yours right...

Social Engineering has nothing to do with bots or any kind of malware at all. Social Engineering is more along the lines of her receiving a phone call with malicious intent from the person calling her, but disguised as something benign.

For what it sounds like you're wanting to do, a VPN isn't needed, at all. A VPN is not really for security. A VPN is for privacy. This is why I suggested using Bitdefender, so you can get a really good internet security suite, consisting of encryption, malware protection, anti virus protection, etc. If you feel you must have a VPN, then that's fine, as it does offer encryption to a lesser degree. The thing is, if you're affected by the right [err, wrong] kind of malware, a VPN will do nothing for you.

If you have Bitdefender, you can install it on your computer and your phone.

Right now she will stream from facebook until she gets enough customers switched over to a personal business page that is being developed. She will spend hours and hours on this page taking pictures and keeping an inventory of stock. Right now the pictures of her products are on facebook and she has a square account that I want to make sure is protected. I believe the business page is using go daddy as a server. At this point all she has is the domain name. She has a business name.

Right now we don't have a router. The internet is wifi. If I remember right the router in the old days was for multiple gaming systems and LANS. We have just wireless devices. Laptop and phones. Somewhere i might have an old netgear router in a box. What i don't understand is if a vpn is through the router and the wifi is right through the modem, then we would still be exposed, correct? As she is setting up her items I am wanting to go behind her making sure she can't be harmed by anything so her experience will be only fun. I will check into cloudfare for the business page, but i am pretty sure all the streaming is done on facebook live.

If you have wifi then you have a router and these things usually act as a firewall so just put a good password and you should be good to stream, then just protect the website.

right now while adding cloudfare it's asking me to change the nameservers. There is a warning on go daddy that if I change the nameservers the website could "dissapear from public view". I'm going to go ahead and do it but obviously I need the website in public view.

I will attempt to explain the social engineering that happened to me. My teenage daughter met a gamer online, a streamer, they set up her livestream for her. They (In hindsight were using black hat SEO to conduct internet business). Within a week of her setting up her live stream she was targeted by a big time BH. Sending bots, threatening to swat us, shutting down our internet, blackmail, extortion. We wouldn't budge. Eventually this BH boyfriend is at his house in another state (same state same town both BH SEO), My daughter is there. I am home trying to get out of domestic abuse. My ex is putting things in my food and I am sick. I try to get my daughter to come home to help take care of me because i need a care giver. They don't. Over where she is, a local BH, who i now believe is one in the same who targeted us, attempts to swat them but they are not home, they get scared, they come home to our house.

Good for me, I needed her home. Within 2 weeks of being home, our home gets swatted. Then this dude is living in my home rent free conducting what I can see from reading this website and browsing, SEO activities. My son, SEO activities. My son had his own server and replicated a pirated WOW for him and his friends to enjoy. The BH boyfriend would spend 18 hours a day programming and he mentioned things to me about things I read about on this site, he was developing a business then using SEO to put it out, this is 2011. People feel sorry for me from the swatting, send me to the doctor after the swatting, my ex was letting me suffer with no medical care. I get well because the doctor orders me on a special diet and I quit eating my then husbands food.

As I get better, I am planning my escape from domestic abuse, with the big time BH boyfriend living in the home, free rent all these adults with free rent doing no chores and not contributing. I am attempting to get rid of them through the legal means of eviction. I get a PFA, protection from abuse to get my soon to be ex removed. I still have My adult son who uses SEO for his server, and the BH boyfriend using SEO in my home. They proceed to social engineer my life to steal all my money and my children. It's complicated and wicked how they did it, hacking into my email and accounts, but they decimated my life for trying to get a divorce and evict them. It was like a failed coup attempt. I was completely outsmarted, defrauded, and lied about.

I would like to understand what they did. As I look here on this site it becomes clearer to me that my daughter, ex, and son are possibly not the "brains" of the social engineering operation that took my home, children and all my assets away from me. Maybe my son, but possibly more than likely this BH boyfriend who is no longer her boyfriend anymore.

Someone asked me what my talents were. My talents are curiosity and writing. I could write endless articles connecting them to links to make money, (as far as the topic of trying to find a niche in the world on how to make money). My ex continues to lie and social engineer my life, somehow. I would like it to stop. I'd like to take control of my life and be able to show people, maybe through articles with affiliates or adsense, how women can protect themselves from this kind of social engineering and what i could have done to protect myself.

My entire life was stolen and destroyed by people who hung out here. I tracked the person to here. The police and fbi never prosecuted. This tells me that I and other women like me are completely on our own to protect ourselves on the internet. When my mom wanted to have an online business, I was like "oh no" how am I going to protect her when I know that my daughter has yet another SEO boyfriend with a streaming company? My daughter literally stole my life, my identity and became my children's mom. My ex had the children calling her mom. They used social engineering and false police reports, then the corrupt family court took it from there. My ex has used methods found here to steal over 2 million dollars in assets and marital property from me. Thanks for listening.

Sorry about all that you've gone through, but I think you may have the wrong idea about BHW and what we do here. This website isn't for hacking and taking over networks and destroying peoples' lives. That's not what we're about. I don't understand all that's been happening with your situation and it all sounds very unfortunate.

I would like to understand what they did.

You're not going to understand all that happened from a post on a completely unrelated web forum. We don't discuss or provide the platform to discuss this sort of thing on BHW.
BHW is an internet marketing forum. BHW is an affiliate marketing forum.
You're more than welcome to plug into the forum and do some reading if you're interested in the types of things that are allowed to be discussed around here, but that's pretty much it. We don't talk about or deal in any illegal activity on BHW. I've been here for years prior to creating this account in 2011 and from my experience, this sort of thing has never been tolerated.

So by all means, get a great internet security suite with a great firewall, with great anti-virus protection and perhaps even a copy of Malwarebytes.

This tells me that I and other women like me are completely on our own to protect ourselves on the internet.

Unfortunately and fortunately (depending on how you look at it), we need to be our own first lines of defense. Bitdefender + Malwarebytes. That's my recommendation.

Perhaps you may find interested in taking a course on cyber security or something. Aside from that, I can't really comment on all that you've mentioned because it falls outside the scope of what can and should be discussed on BHW. I gave you my insight as to what I feel you should do. The rest is up to you. Good luck.

I think you have given some solid and good advice here. I will get the bitdefender, the malwarebites, the security suite, firewall, and antivirus. I will focus my searching on this page for finding out those things, because those are all I need going forward.

I can see that the topics on here are for marketing an online business strategies and privacy protection and those are the topics that really drove me here. I will say that back in June of 2011, here on BHW, I was here.

At that time **** ***** could be purchased here. I am a mom. I was a super sleuthing curious mom and found a way to find out who his real name was, his gamertag was his username here, but that's not how I found his address. I did not know anything about computers or how to dox. I'm a Mother. I got the BH out of my house after he did all those things by calling his Mother.

Here is my mom advice for those here who may be stealing or doing things that get them listed on the sh1t list here, they should know that it never pays to do evil. When you set a trap for someone else with the intent to steal it always will end up entangling you in your own trap. So stay good and safe, stay away from porn, and illegal activities to make money. Do the right thing always. Love, a mom. and.... Don't make me call your mother. If you have a mother, cherish her, and listen to her, and remember the things she taught you to be good.
