A man's home is his castle; his sleazy illicit collection, sanctified! Whether it's your nosy mother, snooping brother, suspecting spouse or controlling govornment, you're going to want to keep your secret stash locked away and as safe as the Tower of London!
Far from prying, judgmental eyes, both in this world and the virtual one, here's how to keep a low profile and ensure your cherished porn collection is safe and sound, once and for all.
A) Lock Down Your Existing Collection
Unless you've hit puberty very recently, chances are you've already got a stash. The first order of business is organization! Gather up the various bits of erotica tucked about in a mess here and there on your hard drive and dump them all into a single nasty folder. Subdivide this folder by media type, alphabetically, by activity, whatever.
Next, come up with a naming scheme—sufficiently obfuscated, but not indecipherable (at least not to you that is). A simple keyword search could immediately blow the lid off your entire Busty Blonde Student collection. Instead, devise a coding scheme—BBSTCOL1, BBSTCOL2, and on through 27 or whatever. Subtle and innocuous.
Finally, you can encrypt your stash by creating a password-protected secured drive image. If you're using Mac OSX, open up Disk Utility then create a "new disk image from folder," using the porn as the source. Select the level of encrytion (128 or 256 bit AES), set your password, uncheck the "remember password in my keychain" option. Then generate the image and delete the original, unsecured folder.
If you're running Windows, use a third party archiving program like Winzip. Simply open the program, select Zip My Files, check the Encrypt option, and choose your porn folder from the menu. Generate the secured archive and delete the unsecured source folder.
B) Be an Online Porn Ninja!
Surfing and streaming may eliminate the threat of someone finding your local copies,but there are still plenty of ways to get caught. First off, stop using Internet Explorer—it's about as secure as loading a gun outside the Whitehouse!.
Get a copy of Chrome and familiarize yourself with the Incognito Function (top right, click on the wrench). This private browsing mode does not record the web addresses of sites visited or the fact that files have been downloaded during the session. It deletes all cookies once the window is closed.
Before you begin, turn off the auto-complete functions on URLs. Log out of your Google and Google+ account, and don't log in during a session—Chrome will save this history.
C) Nosy Govornments and how to get around them!
Do you live in a conservative and thus Internet content consored Country where even the most softcore sites are closely followed or even censored completely.
There are usually two scenarios here.
Scenario A is when you try and enter a site that has been restricted, it appears for a couple of seconds, vanishes, and in its place a warning saying ''you are about to violate law bla bla bla as per authority bla bla bla....Cease and desist what you're doing immediately! By order - The State Sensorship Board.
And/or
Scenario B is when there is NO WARNING. But I'll tell you what there is! Authorities breaking down your door at 2AM and quicker than you can say ''Tabouli'', a fat sweaty cop called Omar is attaching electrodes to your toes in a dark police cell barking in your face the value of a virtuous and clean society.
Anyone up for this challenge? No Sir! So, do yourself (and your toes) a big favor. Search your sensitive subjects through a Web-Based Proxy service like Ninjacloak or HideMyAss.If you have the money, you can also invest in a VPN (Virtual Private Netweork). Rumor has it that VPN and Web based Proxy services even work in Saudi Arabia.
D) Limit Collateral Risks
No self respecting porn addict ever pays for Porn, but if you feel that as a Porn connoisseur of sorts , paying for specialized porn over the Internet is a must, then do set up a separate, dedicated checking account for your online purchases. That way you minimize your risk even if the site is hacked and your account information is made public.
Also, as tempting as the ads on porn sites might be, resist the urge to click through—such ads are often loaded with malware. And when you're done, clear your browsing history, downloads, and cookies. Close the browser completely, and expose all windows just to make sure you didn't forget anything.
On chrome there is an extension called the ''Panic Button'' and it will incorporate the icon depicted on the left onto your browser. So the next time caring wifey comes to your office in her gown with a glass of milk and cookies for you, just press the panic button. All tabs will magically disapear. When you press again, they will conveniently reapear.
E) Focus and be Practical!
What's the use of having a new hardrive filled with your filthy goodies encrypted with the best programme, if you just leave the HDD lying around in plain sight. There's nothing stopping your teenage brother liberating it from you it , blaming the poolboy and taking it to his geek buddy to decrypt. Be Practical! Hide it! Of course, hiding is also an acquired art in itself. Gadget Republic has an awesome collection of Practical Devices to help you out in your quest:
