can you please explain this proxy buisness and what exactly they find to track you down.

Baisically: Whenever you do something on the internet, you are identified by your ip address. With a court order your ISP has to give out your personal information based on an IP address. Cannabis.com stores your IP address (as does every other forum). If the FBI/CIA/DEA/other fascist organizations were to get a court order against you you're screwed.

But, with a proxy server: The proxy acts as a messenger for you, relaying all the information, and the only IP address cannabis.com or anyone sees is the proxy server's IP address. So even with a court order they're stuck, cuz they can't track you. All they know about you is what proxy server you use.

It probably is a good idea to use a proxy if you grow.

Using public proxies is a useless way of doing this, and provide little to no protection.

If you do not want to spend money on keeping yourself safe then sacrifice some bandwidth and use the TOR network. Atleast that is encrypted and chained.

Another solution is a VPN. These can be rented monthly and provide a much MUCH higher level of security than other methods.

Do you even know what a VPN is? How would that protect your identity?
