How to Disappear From The Internet Completely While Leaving False Trails: How to Be Anonymous Online
How to Disappear From The Internet Completely While Leaving False Trails
How to Be Anonymous Online
Why do some people want to erase themselves completely from the internet? I used to wonder about the same till I found the reason and had to do it myself. I am sure if you are reading this book, you too have a reason, but going through this process, I have learned a few valuable lessons. This book is all about those lessons, so you don't have to learn on the go as I had to. Instead, you can use this book as a guide and just follow the step by step process and see yourself disappear from the big World Wide Web.
Back in the days, if anyone wanted to live a private life, all they had to do was unpublish their home phone number and opt out of all mailing lists and you were done, but it is not as easy anymore. Every time we fill out a form, a survey, or fill out personal information on the social media, it is there forever. You may not remember what you filled out ten years ago, but it is there for any prying eyes to see.
What is even worse? Let's say you didn't give out much information on the web, but you browse the net often, you search and surf the web via search engines as we all do, sadly most of the search engines like Google and Yahoo keep a tab on you, they know what you search for, they know what you like and what you don't. They do this by keeping up with your IP (Internet Protocol) address.
But don't give up, don't think it is not doable, because it is, and that is why you are reading this book, as I said I had done it, and you can too, just remember it is not something can be done overnight, it will take some time and may cost you a little money, but at the end you can achieve that privacy and freedom you deserve. Trust me you will enjoy that privacy too.
One more thing, just because you are deleting yourself from the net, doesn't mean you can have an online life anymore because you can but little differently, and I will talk about how you can do that. So read and follow..
Here is a preview of what you will
How to go through the deactivation processHow to find out what is out there about youHow to start leaving false trailsHow to delete yourself from all the search engines like Google, YahooHow to remove yourself from various websitesHow to remove yourself from Data clearinghouses8 precise steps to stay private and secure onlineHow to browse the internet privatelyHow to choose the best Privacy toolsWhat and how to use VPN (Virtual Private Network)and so much more...
Stay safe and good luck!

This was an interesting (very) short book on how to protect datas, files and more generally speaking information about yourself that you don't wish to make available to other people.
As a matter of fact the book is much more about effectively disappearing from the Internet (although I'm not quite sure this is really possible, even with the info provided by the book) or on how to simply surf the Net while remaining anonymous.
Even thought I'm not interested in disappearing from the Internet (and don't know anybody who wants to), this book might be useful to some.
Do keep in mind that, because of its short length, this book points out some useful info and resources to use, but it doesn't explain step by step how to use them.

There were a few things that were basically common sense, if you have any knowledge of the internet and mobile technology. However, the book was repetitive and really didn't go to the level of detail which would really be required if someone truly wanted to disappear.

Extremely brief with little actionable content. Good if you want to provide awareness introduction material

Mmmmmm
Thought there would be more to this book, nothing I didn't really already know. Most of it I found was common sense.

Very basic information
Honestly most of this information is easily found on the net. Still, found some. Good apps. Price reflects the value.

Not really a book; just a collection of tips and basic instructions on removing yourself from the internet circa 2013. Probably pulled together as part of someone's side hustle (make millions selling ebooks on Amazon!). Not worth your time.
