Unable to post in secure mode at Marihemp

[Torog]

Howdy,

I'm just wondering if anyone else is having this problem ?

I hope that it's just a technical issue,but it freaks me out and makes me think that the feds are logging ip addys.

Also,I wonder if posts here are automatically secure or not,since there ain't no choice for secure mode authentication. I think that I'm gonna invest in one of them usb sticks with a gig of memory,and utilize a secure anonymizer program on it,especially because of my dsl connection,which no longer allows me to stealth my ip addy.

Have a good one ! :stoned:

I recently did a name server update on hundreds of domains ... this alone didn't cause any noteable problems...

However, I also updated the location of the name servers themselves ... that's causing some problems, such as with cannabinoid.com

Please let me know if the problem is still continuing.

"Secure mode" at Marihemp was designed to better protect one's password over open networks, such as in a college dorm, wifi connection, etc...

It doesn't encrypt everything and it doesn't hide IPs ... even on a SSL connection, the IP can be logged; URL possibly sniffed out by others, if one is using an "open" network.

vBulletin for as sophisticated as it is, still doesn't support (and probably never will) any simple way to send username / password only over SSL ... with vBulletin it's all SSL or all plaintext ... problem with that is using SSL for everything is it's pointless for publicly viewable data; unnecessarily increases server load for no real benefit.

On a related note, vBulletin software still doesn't support image attachments in PMs, Marihemp's does. PM image attachments is one of those things I wish vBulletin would add.

Finally, you may want to try the following if running Windows XP.

1. Close all web browsers.

2. Click Start, then on Run...

3. Enter the following in the blank and press enter:

ipconfig /flushdns

That will pop up a dos window for a brief moment and then close - that's normal; Ipconfig is a built-in utility in Windows XP.

Hope this helps.

Howdy Ron,

Thanx for yer swift reply and yer great explanation,I learned a couple of things (new) from it and the tip you gave--worked like a charm..thanx !

I do have another question tho,it occured to me,does the forward slash in front of flushdns,act like a switch ? Will it flush the dns everytime now ? And do I need to "un-switch" it ? So far,i ain't had any more troubles and I like the idea of flushing the dns frequently,kinda like cleaning the MRU tracks ona daily basis.

Have a good one ! :stoned:

Check out www.anonymizer.com its 30 bucks a year but well worth it for a grower trying to protect his identity on herb sites or any site for that matter.
This product hides IP as well as protects you.
Pop-Ups are also gone with this program.
With the fall of OG I was advised to protect myself from future incidents.
DONT RELY ON SITES OR ADMINS TO KEEP YOU SAFE IF THE BOARD FALLS THEY WILL HAVE NO SAY IN THE MATTER...
Keep Safe

Glad it worked

The ipconfig /flushdns command will only run again, if you tell it too ... the Run thing in Windows "remembers" like the last 10 commands much like one's browser history remembers where one has visited in the past.

You normally should not flush dns, since it normally happens automatically everytime you start your computer. Excessively flushing dns can actually make things run slower; lead to sporadic server not found messages...

The flush dns thing is really intended only for fixing problems, such as you experienced, the other day, in which your web browser had cached an old IP address for a website, etc that had moved.

DFG is spot-on that something like the anonymizer or similar service like megaproxy is worth considering, if you're seeking additional privacy.

Take care

Ron
