Hey,
Most people think staying anonymous online is just about using a VPN and going incognito. But that is not enough.
If your online activity looks unusual, you will get flagged. And once that happens, it is hard to stay under the radar.
Let’s talk about how to stay anonymous without making it obvious.
Common Mistakes That Get You Tracked
A new device, a fresh email, and a VPN set to Iceland might sound like a great setup. But in reality, this looks suspicious.
Websites track everything, including:
How fast you type
How you move your mouse and scroll
Your browser and device details
If your activity does not match a regular user, you stand out. The best way to avoid this is to keep things natural. Stick to one IP for a while and avoid sudden changes in location or behavior.
VPNs Are Not Enough
Many VPNs, especially free ones, are already blacklisted. Even good ones do not guarantee full privacy.
For better anonymity, use:
A high-quality VPN provider instead of free services
Residential proxies instead of datacenter proxies
Mobile data for natural IP rotation
And most importantly, never log into personal accounts from an anonymous setup.
How Your Browser Gives You Away
Privacy browsers like Tor are useful for some situations, but they also make you an easy target. Many websites block Tor users automatically.
Instead, try:
Using Firefox with privacy settings adjusted
Disabling WebRTC, which can leak your real IP
Blocking third-party cookies while keeping essential ones
Websites identify users based on browser fingerprinting. If you want to avoid detection, you need to make sure your browser settings do not make you look like a bot. I explain this in more detail inside Hackers Real World.

Messaging Without Leaving a Trail
Apps like Signal and Telegram offer privacy, but if they are linked to your real number, you are not anonymous.
To keep conversations private, use:
VoIP numbers for account verification
Secure email services like ProtonMail or TutaMail
Burner devices for sensitive communication
If you need advanced encryption methods, there are better options than mainstream apps.
Most People Get Caught Because of This
Your habits expose you more than your tools.
If you use the same password on multiple accounts, you are at risk. If you log into old accounts from your anonymous setup, you create a link between them.
Anonymity is not just about hiding information, but also about controlling how you use it.
