How do you hide your porn?

[Ozboi]

+1 to the above level system. Works well for how badly you need to hide your porn. Remember kids, your ISP and any logging service on your router or between you and the porn know about it unless you use a VPN with the liquidation level. And they can be expensive. That and being on here and hitting sharing ratios probably means you can't liquidate always.

I also used TrueCrypt to encrypt a harddrive. I wasn't using a harddrive health monitor like Acronis. It crashed. Recovering a crashed encrypted HDD with no master file table is HARD.

I used to stream porn and hide, since it is always awkward, whenever gay or straight. I don't do that anymore I download and keep it in folder where all other torrents are, but still I don't make it visible as putting shortcuts to it on desktop, because that would make me look perverted,

I don't hide my porn, just put everything on a folder. Its my pc/laptop. What you see is what you get. If you have something against it, then don't use or borrow my computer.

Came here to answer but I kept reading instead. hehe so many suggestions.

Use a  portable drive to load Linux, and keep it on a partition there.

When plugged into a Windows machine, nothing shows up. Reboot and Linux will see everything. I currently using Mint Linux, it's fast and it runs on most every machine.

its shocking how many of you hide your files in folders…thats not really hiding it, as you can search for video files in windows. or even run any media program and it could sniff out those files...

My way of hiding:
I have two usernames on my pc
Main user gets logged on automatically to pc with no password when windows starts:

all my hidden stuff is on drive Z:
drive Z is not visible at all to the main user (used a registry edit to hide drive Z from Main user)
Drive Z is only accessible and visible to second user who also owns all the rights to the drive.

TRUE FUCKING CRYPT, TRUECRYPT!!!

It can MOUNT a file as a drive but to be able to mount it you need a password.

The good thing: it's disguised as a file. Once I'm done with my porn I just dismount it.
Another good thing: Once unmounted it's not searcheable. It would only appear as a binary file.
The best thing: it mounts/dismounts FAST.

@JamesErvano:

Of course, you could just stream it but does anyone download and how do you hide it from other people.

Hidden folders.

[AlanC]

i use some software to lock up my entire external hard drive… unlock it every time before i inspect my legacies. ;D ;D

[groovedware]

I was coming to giggle about not having to hide porn then I remembered all the porn I have that isn't man on man is hidden away in documents.  :blind:

[michael065]

mv porn .porn

[litres46]

These days I bury it deep in obscure folders like everyone else. No one really uses my laptop but me and I lock it if I walk away from it anyway.

However in my early days I'd copy an image off the internet and paste it into a word document, then turn the brightness on the image up 100% So it was just white, then I'd copy paste a wikipedia page over it and name the file something like "Osmosis essay"

I'd really like to recommend SequiaView, it's a 515KiB download which allows you to easily find your porn back if you've lost it.

All of mine is downloaded (around 500GB at present) and it is kept in a folder called XXXrated  :cheers:

I store everything on my file server and the only way anyone can connect to it is via SFTP (or shell.) Everything is stored on a raid 5 array running 5x 2gb disks. I use the server to backup my personal business files as well. Anything I'm actually interested in watching (or re-watching) is on a separate hard drive on my main PC in the drive's root folder. I'm not at all concerned about somebody finding anything.

If you are hyper sensitive about somebody finding your stash I would suggest you buy a cheap laptop and do the "dirty things" on that, then hide it where nobody can find it. Even with something like drive encryption you could still be leaving a history of what you were watching in the video player or websites you don't want people to know you visit could show up with various recovery tools. Plus then you have this encrypted drive and someone could ask "hey yeah what are you hiding on that drive there?" Just get a "business" laptop, make sure your password isn't easy, and use a VPN, I doubt anybody will figure you out. If somebody finds the laptop and questions you, say it's your private personal diary and you would be extremely offended/upset if anybody were to read it.

The porn in my laptop is hidden in a folder called "tracing". And the porn in the external HDD is hidden in Documents>Codecs>New Folder

This may not be of much use to you directly, however I happen to have a couple of solutions to this….

The first is installing a NAS, which often comes built into some wireless routers. This will allow you to store the content on a virtual network path, which then allows you to control who has access to it. The other option is my server. I have stuff on there that I want to keep hidden from people and do not want to store directly on my laptop. This gives me an easy link into the server through the network, but ensures that the content that I don't want to be visible can be ruled out of the question through the use of username & password authentication. This way, people like my room mate can access the more public shared content on the server, but gets an Access Denied error when he attempts to open any of the shares that contain files that I do not wish others to view (such as porn).

I have my videos in my videos library. I also have windows homegroup setup, so anyone on the network can see & download what is in my video library. Also, it is shared to Plex, so I can stream it to my phone or the 60" HD TV in the living room.

I never had a "personal" computer till recently and after reading the replies I think I have used all these methods at least once, from putting inside Program Files to changing extensions to making encrypted .RAR archives to now using TrueCrypt

[brackjack]

Truecrypt, a 20+ character encryption key and an external hard drive.
