can/does the NSA track duckduckgo searches? - Ale-ale-jandro - 06-02-2014 09:24 AM
for those of you who don't know, duckduckgo is a search engine that is supposed to be anonymous. however, is it free from the NSA's surveillance?
BQ: i don't know a lot about proxies, so forgive me if i sound like an idiot. does the NSA know how to find out who did something illegal (like buying drugs online) if the person uses proxies?

you need to use the tor network to be totally anonymous https://www.torproject.org

Use a good VPN as well. This will prevent monitoring of the network traffic.
Whatever you do don't fall for the bogus review on the so called best VPN review sites. They are all scams where the best reviewed VPN's are the ones that pay the review site the most money. Even the customer reviews on these sites are phoney.
Also fancy VPN sites with instant gratification and setup are subject to getting hacked, like purevpn did last month. Customer emails and names were stolen and used by the hackers.
Stick with a company that emphasizes security and network protection.
