"What is anonymity?
In real life, anonymity is like walking down the street where no one can recognize you. However, things are not that simple in the online world. In the context of the internet, anonymity usually refers to the inability of browsers, ISPs, device software, etc., to trace your personal data over the network. The websites or services you use or browse also don't know who is using them, only that someone is using them, without knowing the specifics. One of the most direct ways to achieve anonymity is by hiding your IP address and encrypting your upstream and downstream data.
What is a proxy?
A proxy serves as an intermediary or bridge between computer devices and the internet. When a device uses a proxy to connect to the internet, it changes the source of your IP. However, proxies themselves do not have encryption protocols, whereas a scientific accelerator combines proxies with encryption technology.
What is P2P?
P2P is very similar to BitTorrent. It's a network where computers or other devices can share files with each other without relying on a central source for downloading files.
What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent, although you may not recognize the name, is often referred to as BT downloads or BT seed downloads. If a service supports BitTorrent, it means users can download content through this scientific accelerator using BT seed files. Otherwise, BT downloads may be blocked or subject to throttling.
What is DNS hijacking?
DNS hijacking occurs when someone takes control of the DNS server through various means, altering the DNS resolution records of a particular domain. As a result, accessing that domain leads to a different IP address, causing specific websites to become inaccessible or redirecting to false websites. DNS hijacking works by manipulating the DNS server's data to provide users with incorrect query results.
What is DNS pollution?
DNS pollution, also known as DNS cache poisoning, is a method that prevents regular users from communicating with a fake target host IP address. This is achieved by corrupting the cache of DNS queries, resulting in users being directed to the wrong server or IP address.
What is DNS leakage?
DNS leakage occurs when the DNS, which is protected by a scientific accelerator, is exposed, revealing the user's IP address. Different accelerators and circumvention tools have varying levels of DNS protection. Scientific accelerators have DNS protection, while regular circumvention tools do not.
What is data transmission encryption?
When using the internet, there are two types of data that cannot be avoided: upstream and downstream data, referring to uploaded and downloaded data, respectively. Data transmission encryption means that when you access a website or app, both your uploaded and downloaded data are encrypted by the scientific accelerator. Once encrypted, no one, including browser providers, ISPs, router controllers, etc., can read the actual content of your uploaded and downloaded data because it is all encrypted.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is a unique numerical address assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider), such as Telecommunications or Mobile, each time you connect to the internet (e.g., 196.56.3.45). A scientific accelerator can mask your real IP address, making it impossible for the target website or service provider to trace your activities and real location online.
What is a Kill Switch?
I translate Kill Switch as a ""fuse switch"" because this feature acts somewhat like a fuse. Its purpose is similar to IP and DNS leak protection. The Kill Switch's function is to disconnect your access when you are using a scientific accelerator to visit a website (e.g., Google) and your connection gets interrupted for any reason. In normal circumstances, Google would immediately detect your IP address. However, if the ""Kill Switch"" feature is enabled, it will trigger an emergency disconnection if there is a disruption, preventing Google from accessing your IP and location information.
What is a no-logs policy?
Regarding the no-logs policy, first, it's important to understand what types of logs service providers or circumvention tool providers can retain. They can be categorized into three types.
User information logs: These include general information about users, typically including some or all of the following:
Username
Password
Email address
First and last name
Payment details
Purchase history
Remaining subscription time
Home address
Residence country
Unless you use anonymous payment services like cryptocurrency, your IP address and/or username are usually associated with payment details. $& n"" Y+ G9 k' E- T1 A
Connection logs: Connection logs are records of all incoming and outgoing connections to the server. This data is typically used for optimizing services and troubleshooting issues. These logs usually include:
Incoming IP address (usually assigned by your Internet Service Provider to your device)
Outgoing IP address (assigned by the server to your device)
Timestamps (start and end dates of the connection)
Transmitted data (the amount of data transmitted during usage)
Connection logs can also help the provider run support services, such as providing support and smooth operation.
Usage logs: Scientific accelerator providers typically have access to information about your internet usage, similar to what your Internet Service Provider (ISP) would have. In some countries/regions, ISPs are required to record your internet usage. If the provider retains the same information, it may include:
List of websites visited
Downloaded files (names and sizes)
Used software and protocols (such as Netflix, BitTorrent, Skype, etc.)
In short, a ""no-logs"" policy means that the provider does not retain any logs. However, if some services or circumvention tools or airports implement time and bandwidth restrictions on users, it means there must be some logs, more or less, to record the information needed to enforce these restrictions.
What is OpenVPN?
OpenVPN is an open-source software protocol. Many VPNs, including ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and SurfsharkVPN, support this protocol. The protocol itself is secure, but you must ensure that the OpenVPN server configuration is secure.
What is a protocol?
A protocol is essentially a set of instructions or encoding rules used for accelerator security. Different protocols have significant differences in terms of security, speed, circumvention effects, etc. These are most of the protocols supported by well-known service providers: AES, PPTP, L2TP, OpenVPN, IKEv2, WireGuard, etc. Additionally, some scientific accelerators have introduced their own connection protocols, such as Nord's NordLynx protocol and Express's Lightway protocol, which are based on mature protocol extensions or secondary openness.
What is a tunnel?
A tunnel is a term for an encrypted connection between a computer and a scientific accelerator server. The tunnel can protect your data and privacy, serving as a secure pathway for internet access. Some accelerators offer split-tunneling services, which split a user's connection into multiple directions." |
