I don’t have any firewalls, and https://206.x.x.x and the internal IP one both worked.

The external IP is properly bringing me to the portfolio, its just the subdomain that now seems to be blocked.

It does. I think my subdomain is being blocked by ISPs.

I’ve done further testing with external network connections. I’m getting a Blocked hosts error, it seems my subdomain is being targeted by ISPs.

I get a 206 address that matches my server’s public IP. My laptop is on the same network as the portfolio, but I did test external connections using a mobile hotspot, which resulted in me successfully connecting to the IP address with telnet, but not being able to connect to the domain name. On my phone’s browser, while on data, I was able to access my portfolio website using the public IP address as the URL, rather than the domain name.

I don’t think it is, but its hard to tell for sure.

Yeah the DNS’ public IP matches my server’s. The access logs have some connections from the SSL validation and from when I successfully connected using the public IP address. The error logs are empty.

I did it this way because I didn’t think a randomly generated domain name from cloudflare would be professional enough. I might have to go with that if I can’t get this working though.

Yes it does.

The error was: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. I also got an ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED earlier.

Yes, that’s what I did.

I can’t connect to the domain at all. I think the certificate problem was because I was connecting with the IP address rather than the domain name.

I get ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT when trying to connect to it. I don’t get any error logs on the server itself. I also got an ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED earlier.

I got my SSL certs from running certbot. I don’t use DDNS.

I think they plan on making it ship with windows by default at some point, so perhaps it’ll be in future versions of Windows Server and you won’t have to add it.

Ok, I figured. Maybe I’ll finally check it out.

What show is this?

It turns out they can and likely do track that sort of thing. Still, I highly doubt that’s the only information they have access to.

It could be possible, but what makes you suspect they’re tracking cursor positions?

I’m not entirely sure how they do it, but I do know alot of information is relayed to websites that can be used to fingerprint and track you. Even if you aren’t logged in they know where you are and what device you are using. Alot of this depends on how hardened the browser you are using is, because its entirely up to the browser to block this information.

You can try to confuse the data a bit with a VPN, but I’m not sure if a VPN alone counts for much these days.

If you really want no fingerprint you can try either of these two technologies:

TOR is a way to browse the internet that makes it very hard to fingerprint you. The network’s bandwidth is limited and there are people in oppressive regimes who legitimately need this though, so I think it would be a waste to use it for regular browsing.

WHONIX is used by Edward Snowden himself. Its an OS within a virtual machine that is entirely reset everytime its run. It has alot of built-in privacy tools, but its not very convenient to use.

I personally use Brave with as many shield options on as possible, alongside a VPN when I think its necessary. On mobile I sometimes use Kiwi, which is unfortunately no longer available. Its the only browser I’ve found that actually masks whether your device is a phone or PC.
