VPN Tests and Checks |

Quote:The dirty secret of the VPN industry is that most VPNs leak.
One in-depth study found that 84% of VPNs will leak your IP address.
In other words, many of the VPN services that market themselves as privacy and security solutions are in fact leaking your IP address and/or DNS requests. These leaks leave you exposed, which in turn could put you in a dangerous situation depending on your circumstances and online activities.
Also concerning is the fact that many VPNs have broken features. This is often the case with “kill switches” that do not effectively block traffic or “IPv6 leak protection” that does not secure your IPv6 address. It only takes one leaked packet to expose your identity and activities.
In this guide we’ll cover two different levels of VPN tests:
- Basic tests – These are the tests that anyone can run. Simply connect to your VPN and then hit the testing sites. Unfortunately, these basic tests will not identify all leaks (such as brief reconnection leaks).
- Advanced tests – These tests require more technical proficiency to get everything setup correctly, but they will identify any leaks you may have with your VPN. ExpressVPN put together the best tools available for in-depth leak testing, which are open source and available on GitHub.
We’ll start with basic VPN test procedures to identify obvious problems.
Basic VPN tests
Below are basic steps for identifying:- DNS leaks
- IP address leaks (IPv4 and IPv6)
- WebRTC leaks
With these basic tests, you are relying on the testing website to identify problems. But as we noted above, you may have leaks that the test website does not pick up, which is why the advanced tests are the best solution.
For basic tests, I like to use ipleak.net as a general all-in-one testing site (created by AirVPN) along with the different Perfect Privacy test tools.
Test for VPN leaks
To test for active leaks, simply connect to a VPN server and visit the test site. You are checking to see how the VPN performs when the tunnel is active and stable.
You can also simulate different interruptions to see how well the VPN does if network connectivity drops. For example:
- Connect to a VPN server and load ipleak.net in your internet browser.
- Manually interrupt your internet connection (disconnect the ethernet cable or WiFi) while the VPN client is running.
- Reconnect to the internet and also load a few different test websites to see if your VPN is leaking upon reconnection.
This will help you to identify obvious problems with your VPN, but it won’t definitively identify all leaks (see advanced tests below).
VPN test websites
Here are a few testing sites you can use to check for different leaks:- ipleak.net (IPv4, IPv6, WebRTC, and DNS)
- Perfect Privacy Test tools (IPv4 and IPv6, DNS, WebRTC)
- ExpressVPN leak tests (IPv4, DNS, WebRTC)
- test-ipv6.com (IPv4 and IPv6)
- dnsleaktest.com (use extended test)
- BrowserLeaks WebRTC Test
- ipx.ac (IPv4, IPv6, WebRTC, DNS, browser fingerprinting and more)
Now let’s see what a VPN leak looks like.
Identifying VPN leaks
When you use the testing site ipleak.net, it is fairly easy to identify leaks and problems, especially when you are connected to a VPN server outside your country. Note, the WebRTC leak test will show local IP addresses (usually beginning with 10.xxx or 192.xxx or sometimes an alpha-numeric IPv6 address that is also local). These are not leaks, but rather your local IP addresses. If you see your real (Public) IPv4 or IPv6 under the WebRTC section, then these are indeed WebRTC leaks.
Below you can see that I redacted the IP addresses in red where I experienced leaks with a VPN Unlimited server in the UK.

Now let’s ask do you need the program?
The answer is yes if you are one of the following groups then you will need it
What are the Character types you need to know?
G1 (generation 1) characters can be found in CrazyTalk Animator Version 1 and are designed facing either front or side views (implied by the directions of the left feet of the character). There is no way to change the direction of this type of character in CTA Version 1. If you apply this type of characters to CTA v2 or above, then the character will be put into all 10 different slot angles.
G2 Characters with Multiple Angles: created by CTA Version 2 or above. It is designed to have 10 angles in order to have the character face to different direction when you turn the character. The thumbnails of this type of heads will be marked with G2 at the corner.
The G3 characters embedded in CTA v3. They are built with fixed regulated bone structures and are divided into four categories; G3 Human, G3 Animals, G3 Spine, and G3 Wings.
Free Bone Character:
These can be created with CTA 3, or above. It is built with free structures of bones and can be human or non-human.
Mix-match Composite Characters from Library:
By mixing up the bodies and heads from the Content library, you can create various types of characters that are suitable for your projects.
New features and changes:
https://www.reallusion.com/crazytalk-ani...tml#update
Features:
Create 2D Characters:
With this one-for-all 2D animation software, anyone can easily turn any image into an animated character by using the free bone tools or character templates.
The 2D Bone Editor has all the tools to structure sophisticated bone rigs. Users can use pins to constrain areas to selected bones, and optimize subdivision topology for smoother bending effects.
The easiest way to create a 2D character is by simply aligning bones along an image shape.
When creating a complex humanoid sprite character, use the Mask Editor to cutout images into separate sprite layers. Change the sprite layer order in the Layer Manager to determine their display priority (e.g. move one hand in front or behind body). The Sprite Editor allows you to manage multiple sprites in a target body part such as; various hand gestures and mouth shapes for animation. You can easily import new image sprites, or replace existing sprites.
G3 Character Template:
To save effort on custom bone-rigging and key frame animation, the app has full facial and body rigged character templates to allow users to utilize shared bones structures while enjoying a huge library of cartoon motions. There is a vast motion library for any designs so that you can directly drag motion to animate your character
Custom Templates for Free Bone Actors:
Now you can create new bone structures for unique creature species, and allow them to share the same structured motion assets
Animated Accessory Systems:
With this powerful accessory system, you can apply a chosen item directly to the target body part like a hat to the head, or a watch to the arm. You can also freely compose an accessory using several prop items. This will enable you to use the Right-click menu to trigger animations from the selected accessory, or play them all together if they are under the same named group.

Google Chrome to Remove “Secure” Indicator From HTTPS Pages in September |

Quote:Google announced earlier today plans to drop the "Secure" indicator from the Chrome URL address bar and only show a lock icon when the user is navigating to an HTTPS-secured website.
The move is scheduled to take effect with the release of Chrome 69, scheduled for September, this year.
Emily Schechter, Product Manager for Chrome Security, said the company is now comfortable making this move as a large chunk of Chrome's traffic is now via HTTPS.
Since most traffic is HTTPS anyway, it's not necessary to draw the user's attention to the "Secure" indicator anymore.
Instead, Chrome will focus on highlighting situations when the user is accessing an insecure HTTP website. That's why, Google will be marking all HTTP sites as "Not Secure" starting with Chrome 68, set for release in July.
Furthermore, Google plans to improve the "Not Secure" indicator in Chrome 70 with the addition of an animation that turns the "Not Secure" text to red whenever the user is entering data inside a form on an HTTP site.
These updates are part of a plan that Google references as "HTTPS 100%" that aims to have all sites loaded in Chrome via HTTPS.
"We hope these changes continue to pave the way for a web that’s easy to use safely, by default," Schechter said. "HTTPS is cheaper and easier than ever before, and unlocks powerful capabilities -- so don’t wait to migrate to HTTPS!"

The Facebook Android App Is Asking for Superuser Privileges and Users Are Freaking Ou |

Quote:The Facebook Android app is asking for superuser permissions, and a bunch of users are freaking out about granting the Facebook app full access to their device, an understandable reaction following the fallout from the Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal.
"Grants full access to your device," read the prompts while asking users for superuser permissions.
Prompts originate from the official Facebook app
These popups originate from the official Facebook Android app (com.facebook.katana)" and are started appearing last night [UTC timezone], continuing throughout the day.
Panicked users took to social media, Reddit, and Android-themed forums to share screengrabs of these suspicious popups and ask for advise or what's going on
This is not the first time that the Facebook app has requested superuser permissions. Facebook users reported similar superuser request prompts on May 8, albeit that event wasn't as widespread as the one today.
Users reported seeing the first wave of superuser request dialogs with the Facebook Android app 172.0.0.12.93, while today's second wave appears to have been triggered with v172.0.0.66.93, based on user reports.
Bleeping Computer has reached out to a Facebook spokesperson to clarify why users are seeing these popups today, but we have not received a reply before this article's publication.
Most likely a coding error
Several Android security researchers who spoke with Bleeping Computer suspect the popups are appearing because of a coding error.
Avast mobile security researcher Nikolaos Chrysaidos has taken a look at the Facebook app's source code and believes the offending party is an SDK (software development kit) embedded in the Facebook app.
The package that appears to be triggering the superuser popup is the WhiteOps SDK, a software development kit for detecting ad fraud and implementing domain white/black-lists.
"Yes, it could be a coding error. Most possible yes," Chrysaidos told Bleeping Computer in a private conversation today. "The dialog started popping up on users that are in the beta channel."
"Along with other various checks. Facebook is probably integrating WhiteOps SDK, and they forgot to re-implement the ROOT checking functionality," Chrysaidos says.
If there was a time for Facebook developers to screw up their code, this is about the worst time to do so. With all the privacy implications of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, users are now piling up new paranoid accusations with every new angry tweet and forum reply, blaming the social network of new nefarious spying attempts.

How to Secure your PC after a Fresh Windows Installation [Updated 2018] |

Quote:11 security measures you need to take after a fresh Windows installation
You chose to install Windows operating system on your computer or, maybe, for various technical reasons, you had to reinstall it. No matter your reasons, it’s important to keep in mind various security layers after this procedure, so your computer is safe from threats.
How to secure your PC after a fresh Windows installation
After finishing the Windows installation, whether it’s Windows 7, 10 or another operating system, we encourage you to follow these security measures below to enhance protection:
1. Keep your Windows operating system up to date
Probably the most important step to do is checking for the latest security updates and patches available for your Windows operating system.
To get the security updates automatically, go to “Control Panel” and check if your automatic updating system is enabled or follow these steps:
Access the search box in your Windows operating system, type Windows Update.
Select Advanced options.
Click on Automatically download updates in case it is not already selected/turned on.
After checking for available updates for your Windows operating system, keep the automatic update turned on in order to download and install the important updates that can help protect your PC against new viruses or next-generation malware.
Always remember to keep your OS up to date with the latest security available. Software patching remains an essential key to improve online safety and security experts make a good case of emphasizing its importance. Cybercriminals still try to benefit from security holes found in users’ systems and PCs. That’s one of the reasons why cyber attacks still work and they make a lot of money of it.
2. Update your software
You don’t have to update only the Windows operating system, but your software as well. Therefore, make sure all the latest updates and security patches for your main programs and apps are installed.
Needless to say that most popular pieces of software (such as Java, Adobe Flash, Adobe Shockwave, Adobe Acrobat Reader), especially the outdated ones, are always under threat from malicious actors who exploit them to get easier access to your sensitive data.
Since these pieces of software are always under threat from criminal minds, don’t just rely on your memory to manually update every program or application you have installed.
A better option would be to start using a dedicated cyber security solution for you and keep your software program up to date.
3. Create a restore point
If you already installed the security updates for Windows OS, the next step recommended is to create a restore point in Windows.
You can do this by clicking on the Start button, then select Control Panel -> System and Maintenance (or System and Security) -> System. Then select System protection and click the Create button.
After installing Windows, you can create the Restore Point and name it Clean installation, and continue installing drivers and applications.
If one of the drivers causes issues on the system, you can always go back to the Clean installation restore point.
