How Is Hide Me Working For You?

[+ Gar1eth]

I'm trying to use it on my iPhone using the Safari and Chrome browsers. It shows the reviews for a second. Then a Rentmen opening screen shows up. When I accept the Rentmen terms, the Hide Me screen shows up saying there is a 404 error.

I just tested using a Windows 7 laptop and everything works as intended and I can read the reviews.

It’s working fine for me. I also access it on an iPhone using Safari. I’m not getting any pop-up from RM.

Also - just as a helpful hint - it’s always WAY EASIER for me to read the reviews for an escort if I enter the URL for the actual REVIEW PAGE instead of the escort’s AD URL PAGE.

 

For example: I use https://rent.men/RichardBraz/reviews/

 

to read his reviews in Hide.me

instead of just: https://rent.men/RichardBraz

 

This small change saved me a lot of trouble trying to maneuver RM through the proxy site.

I always do that too. I wonder why it's not working for me. ?.

 

What iPhone and what version of iOS are you running @InterestingGuy? I have an Xr and am running 13.1.3.

Try selecting Germany instead of the Netherlands. Sometimes the Netherlands proxy gives me the same issue. Switching to German usually works

Most of the time it works for me.

 

However, as does many computer programs, it has a "spell" every now and again and does not work. I ignore the program for a while. I return later and everything is fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried. Same result.

 

I wonder why others don't get the Rentmen permission page. Even when Hide Me works for me, I still see it.

If I use rentmen.eu (which is a rarity) the "permissions" page always displays because it is required by the EU. If I use rent.men the "permissions" page sometimes displays.

I have the same issue as you do keeps reverting to that page

On my PC I have migrated to the TOR browser, it's a browser that uses the "dark web" to hide your IP address/location. Works well, a little slower than regular browser (from redirecting that traffic all over the world). Google it to find the download/install.

Still on Windows 7 on a desktop, use rent.men, but have no problems.

Never have gotten a permission page.

[Guest MikeThomas]

Doesn‘t work for me on my iPad with Safari or Firefox. I have another VPN I use for streaming content from non-US locations.

Are you using rent.men or rentmen.eu? The latter never works for me whereas the former does on my iPhone.

I must respectfully disagree about the phrase 'uses the "dark web"'.

 

Not only does it (TOR) encrypt your traffic like a VPN does, but it slices & dices your transmissions into multiple parts taking different routes for each part, then reassembles the message before sending it on to the destination.

 

"dark web" generally refers to illegal commerce, such as selling captured passwords in bulk, customizeable malware. While cyberthiefs commonly make use of TOR, so do political activists under oppressive regimes. The US Military has studied the use of that kind of technology for its own use.

I agree with your explanation of how Tor works. However, respectfully, TOR is used extensively for both legal and "dark" purposes - which both benefit from its intended purpose of anonymity.

 

From Wikipedia:

 

Usage

Further information: Dark web

 

Tor enables its users to surf the Internet, chat and send instant messages anonymously, and is used by a wide variety of people for both licit and illicit purposes.[49] Tor has, for example, been used by criminal enterprises, hacktivism groups, and law enforcement agencies at cross purposes, sometimes simultaneously;[50][51] likewise, agencies within the U.S. government variously fund Tor (the U.S. State Department, the National Science Foundation, and – through the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which itself partially funded Tor until October 2012 – Radio Free Asia) and seek to subvert it.[14][52]

Tor is not meant to completely solve the issue of anonymity on the web. Tor is not designed to completely erase tracks but instead to reduce the likelihood for sites to trace actions and data back to the user.[53]

Tor is also used for illegal activities, e.g., to gain access to censored information, to organize political activities,[54] or to circumvent laws against criticism of heads of state.

Tor has been described by The Economist, in relation to Bitcoin and Silk Road, as being "a dark corner of the web".[55] It has been targeted by the American National Security Agency and the British GCHQ signals intelligence agencies, albeit with marginal success,[14] and more successfully by the British National Crime Agency in its Operation Notarise.[56] At the same time, GCHQ has been using a tool named "Shadowcat" for "end-to-end encrypted access to VPS over SSH using the Tor network".[57][58] Tor can be used for anonymous defamation, unauthorized news leaks of sensitive information, copyright infringement, distribution of illegal sexual content,[59][60][61] selling controlled substances,[62] weapons, and stolen credit card numbers,[63] money laundering,[64] bank fraud,[65] credit card fraud, identity theft and the exchange of counterfeit currency;[66] the black market utilizes the Tor infrastructure, at least in part, in conjunction with Bitcoin.[50] It has also been used to brick IoT devices.[67]

13.1.3.

 

Not specific to the problem, there have been 4 maintenance releases since that version, you might consider updating.

 

I'm not seeing this issue, but I also always do this in a private browsing tab, so you could test that.
