Web Changes

This is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first.

November 9, 2007:Hushmail.com betrays it's clients and can read and decrypt all messages ever received and stored on their 'offshore' servers in Anguilla...ooops! in Canada. I never met a more sinister and evil company than hushmail.com. Thousands of people have relied on the promise that their communication would be safe, but they got mislead! This event was the last drop in the bucket which made us present our latest of high security products: The High Secure Email (HSM) account on the server of your choice, even with your own domain (if you prefer so). Two things which clearly set us apart from ANY OTHER email provider

1 You can not threaten, extort or subpoena us, as our whereabouts are not known (that's a crucial point if you want to provide anonymity, both parties must be anonymous!).

2 All your precious email resides on high security offshore servers, but within an encrypted container. That means if ever a complete server gets 'taken/confiscated' by the Feds (if they raid the datacenter where the server is located we will not shoot at them :-), all they get is a root server with an encrypted storage inside. Unbreakable, though.

Its a SSL-accessed webmail account, or can be accessed as POP or IMAP. As you like it. When you leave your email on our server, it stays in an encrypted container and can not be read or otherwise copied. We even threw in a storage place for files, apart from emails. The account comes with 125 MB, but can be upgraded if necessary. Support for PGP-encryption built-in, you can check (and secure store) 3rd-party-emails, no active scripting like JAVA or JAVASCRIPT necessary. More details here, including the application instructions.

July 4, 2007: The new premium series of SSH-tunnels and VPN's has arrived! We proudly announce the first servers being online in traditionally neutral and liberal Switzerland. With immediate effect we can offer the following services on the swiss servers: SSH-tunnel, VPN, website hosting, high secure email (HSM). Premium means that only 60% of a possible load will be accepted, thus to give anyone ample resources. No oversignups, no crowded servers, first class locations only! The only drawback we have is higher prices, the simple SSH-tunnel will now cost EUR 140/year. Other pricings are not yet determined, but will come out soon. Check this space for announcements.

May 2, 2007:All good things come to an end! So happened to the preferred method of payment by mailed in cash. Through the years it worked perfectly, albeit with a huge time dealy, as all payments were travelling through chained maildrops. My various maildrops are still reliable and top notch, however, the last hop into the continent where I am usually based became greedy: customs started opening letters and stealing whole mail pouches with money in them! Total loss on my side was over EUR 10000. In most cases I honored client's statement that they had mailed cash (for renewals and intangible services), however, I could not honor people who wanted to buy e-gold or 3rd party services like external subscriptions. Sorry, that was lost. I understand any frustration about this, and it also hurt me. I do not understand some folks running amok in newsgroups now stating I stole their cash! It's simply not true! Most of my loyal and long standing customers can confirm that I very often give more than what was paid for. It's not the end of accepting cash, but it has become more expensive. I now hired a lawyer in Europe to accept mail on my behalf, forward any instructions to me (so I can fulfill the order) and clear the cash. His service is costing 15%, of which I will charge 10% to the paying client. Sorry, no other way to get a handle on the cash problem. The new regime has one big advantage: Order fulfilment will now be within 4-6 days, before it took any time from 3-5 weeks!!

October 4, 2006:With immediate effect we have introduced heavy discounts for multi year subscriptions. Many customers have asked for this, as they used throw-away emails to subscribe and the next year a reminder email was not received, resulting in unexpected and inconvenient service cuts. Now you can subscribe 2 year or 3 year subs, even a lifetime subscription for all current servers and new ones which become online later. See the details here.

September 14, 2006:Today we have added new download files for clients and otherwise donators of privacy.li. Aaron Russo's acclaimed 'America: Freedom to Fascism' movie is available, as well as the most comprehensive Conspiracy File Collection. Go to the 'File Downloads' at your left.

September 11, 2006:Yes, it's five years since Bush & co. staged the attack on the twintowers. Thanks to this prelude, we have now all the nice patriot acts, your freedom gets ass kicked every day and the terrorist witch hunt is going on nicely. Do you fell saver today??? I doubt it. You get more spied on, and freedom tools like TOR get raided and shut down. Read the full story here.

April 1, 2006: Lot's of prospects ask for a trial account to test speeds and features. In the past I often granted such accounts. Recently, however, abuse was overwhelming, so I will not offer free trial accounts anymore. But to make the situation easier for a new prospect I now offer a 1 month subscription to all 6 boxes I have, including free access to my library. The onetime cost is only EUR 30 (1 month, 6 different tunnels). You can sign up immediately.

March 31, 2006: You all know what I think about the USA. However, I have been asked by many clients, if I couldn't offer a tunnel server in the US. There are many reasons this can be used for: Like shopping or banking in the US, if you actually are not in the US. Lot's of websites, out of their intense xenophobia bar foreign citizens to access their services. Now you can pretend to be an USan :-)

So, we have decided to offer a US-box, high security as usual, located in upstate NY. You can sign up immediately.

March 11, 2006: We have added a myriad of new titles to our download area. Mostly is explosive literature (like declassified gov-docs), Alex Jones movies, Zig Ziglar self esteem and much more. As things getting now more bandwidth critical I rely more than ever on donations. Clients get preferably access to the download section.

March 7, 2006: The privacy.li-makers and associated friends have decided to offer a unique reseller option for individuals and companies, who want to offer superior tunneling to their peers. You will be only busy with selling, no technical experience or costly sysadmins necessary. Tunnels will be sold to you at a wholesale price unheard of, you can set your pricing as you seem fit. Please inquire with us about the details. You should have at least 10 tunnels/year subscribed to in order to get wholesale status with low pricing.

March 6, 2006: We are happy to announce the arrival of our proprietary Graphical User Interface (GUI) 'TheTube' for windows-users (win2000 and up, including the new MS-Vista). It still uses the opensource, backdoor-free putty, but in a convenient 'disguise' to help the windows-user to run unlimited tunnels with one click! Privacy can not get any easier!

We offer 'The Tube' as freeware, but would of course be happy if you could help us with a donation to further develop the tool, and continue to provide better software.

You can download TheTube here or in our 'Member's Only' section.

January 31, 2006: We are glad to announce that our tunnels are fully compatible for the Apple Macintosh users among us. We have included setup helps in our HOWTO-file, including opensource Macintosh connectivity software with screen shots. So, Mac-users come and sign up!

November 23, 2005: Effective today we have added another tunnel server location to our portfolio. Welcome dark.lastunicorn.info which is on a high bandwidth backbone in Germany. Applications are accepted immediately. DARK has the same features as our other boxes around the globe:

• full TOR entry point, privoxy
• grsec installed
• webbased email account included with SSL-access

October 27, 2005: We have finished the migration from bear.ns666.com to grizzly.ns666.com. Welcome GRIZZLY :-) Thank you and Goodbye BEAR! That's the new server in Hong Kong, with state-of-the-art hardware, a complete new O/S and with additional enhancements for privacy lovers:

- grsec installed

- SSL-accessible webmail

- full TOR entry point

When you login to grizzly the next time you will see new information in regard to ports and TOR.

Current clients who used bear, will be forwarded to grizzly. But to short cut it please change your putty settings to: grizzly.ns666.com or the direct IP-address (202.67.154.148). You will be presented with the typical SSH warning when a key change took place, please accept the new key. The finger print of the new key has been published at out forum

For selected clients we also accept hosting for your freedom-of-speech website. Please contact us with your requirements.

October 24, 2005: I have added a few more pieces of literature to my library, generously provided as a trade-in for free access from one of my readers.

The titles added are:

• Fail-Safe Investing
• Privacy-Secrets
• Crypto-Secrets
• Smart-Money-Secrets
• Penny

October 12, 2005: From now on all of our servers offer to Privacy-tunnel clients a free webbased email account, accessible via encrypted SSL-connection. You can also store encrypted files within the email access. If you want to take advantage of this new feature, please email us for the instructions.

October 5 2005: We now offer again a tunnel server in Holland. It's fast, it has many nice features, including SSL-accessible webbased email. It serves well if you need fast surf access within Europe and from the USA.

We also want to alert our BEAR-users that this server will be rebuilt by the end of the month, and moved to another data center. There will be an outage time of approximately 12 hours around October 31.

Our server BULL in Malaysia has been rebuilt completely, with an enhanced security setup. It also now runs a full TOR entry point to the TOR-network (the general principle is called ONION ROUTING, which is solely made to anonymize you even further). No matter which destination you choose it'll only show a random exit point IP from the Tor-network. When you login to BULL you will read the pertinent information in regard to ports and availability. We will soon prepare a new HOWTO-file for this setup. Other servers in our network will also become TOR-enabled.

The next server locations we will build are : Canada and Venezuela. ETA should be by the year's end.

October 4 2005: We have lowered our prices for anonymous news subscriptions substantially (20-30%) and introduced a new account type with UNLIMITED gigabyte download capacity, we do also accept again money orders and we started to accept '1stdigit' credits as payment. Check out the details here!

September 29 2005: Some other titles have been added to the download section, which were provided by our clients, thank you so much! You can register for access here.

September 29,2005: We have completely rebuilt our Malaysian server, bull1.hereno.info. An enhanced security setup and a new O/S (Debian Sarge) have been implemented.

Consequently we changed the RSA-Keys, here are the fingerprints:

  * fingerprint RSA hostkey is:  31:ca:97:f5:e7:0e:19:6d:29:79:69:86:e7:34:af:d2
  * fingerprint DSA hostkey is:  80:0a:37:db:47:f3:79:a5:67:20:8b:05:e5:c5:58:ad

September 22,2005: After a long time we again have changed RSA-Keys to our servers. This measurement is necessary to keep up the good security practices, which sets us apart of the 'competition'.

Here the fingerprints you should compare to the pop-up message you will receive when connecting again to one of our servers:

Bear Fingerprints:

* fingerprint RSA hostkey is: 72:fd:0e:fd:f4:cf:ed:93:2a:ad:6c:06:4a:98:d0:36
* fingerprint DSA hostkey is: 42:ab:84:d3:b1:56:8a:44:c0:c6:4f:3e:c5:c3:9f:d1
* fingerprint RSA protocol 1: 62:84:47:10:37:a8:ef:bc:04:81:9c:75:2d:4c:6c:2e


Sam Fingerprints:

* fingerprint RSA hostkey is: 21:23:ad:89:69:13:14:b9:c2:03:c1:35:e2:95:da:df
* fingerprint DSA hostkey is: 15:38:b2:66:ed:3c:5b:a2:d5:c2:99:5f:0d:8a:7c:30
* fingerprint RSA ssh protocol 1: 94:c4:e5:44:e8:60:5d:fd:b2:a8:0b:1f:75:95:d7:39



IMPORTANT:

When the hostkeys change you will get a warning message when you try to connect. Please accept after you verify them, the new fingerprints.

August 28, 2005: Today we added more interesting reading material, including the Q-Reports, more Hawala Analysis, complete description of the Nigerian Scam, and more... You need to register here.

June 21, 2005: We have reactivated our section 'Caveat emptor'

June 20, 2005: File download: It's not free anymore for everybody, just for clients of privacy.li. We had to take this measure as we got swamped by 'freebie hunters' who tended to download everything available (over 200 MB), that puts a lot of strain on to the server. If you are not a customer (yet), you can still get access to my library for a single spent of 1 gold gram. If you become a customer later, it will be reimbursed to you. Details will be emailed to you once you register.

June 10, 2005: Constantly added more files, thanks to contributions from our readers. The Midas Method, Lock picking and assassination theories were added today.

June 4, 2005: We finally activated our 'Member's Only-area' , where you can download interesting literature, help files, essays, underground reports as well as full e-books like 'Lodging of wayfaring men' and the Bill Hill classics PT-series. You need to register here.

February 21, 2005: With immediate effect we have added another jurisdiction to our Privacy-Tunnel-network. Clients can now chose between Hong Kong, Malaysia, Holland and the Czech Republic. You can subscribe to any amount of servers, thus achieving either chaining capabilities (highest anonymity) or changing net identities with a click (in combination with Mozilla/Firefox browsers and the SwitchProxy bar). Details can be found here

February 16, 2005: New DrWHo Privacy & Security FAQ (Version 20.6) published here:

January 30, 2005: The latest technical glitch was just resolved: Surfing with our tunnel via the bull-server is finally working again! But please note, the http/https port was changed to 4192. You need to edit the PUTTY configuration, as well as your browser's configuration. Replace port 3128 with port 4192 in both applications.

January 29, 2005: It has been a long time since the content of this website has been updated. The reason for this tardiness was a move of more than 10 servers out of 1 location into a new location (and jurisdiction). What first looked as a 'cake walk' turned out to be the 'nightmare of the year'. Several server outages, mail outages, DNS-problems, you name it, we had a tough share of all those problems.

We have reason to believe that the worst is over. A few minor issues do still exist, but we will iron them out, one after the other.

From today on this site will again be an up-to-date place for the privacy seeking aficionado. Please continue your patronage. Thank you.

January 28, 2005: we just added the latest DrWho FAQ (version 20.5) for your perusal. It's here:
