I use a VPN server sometimes, and today I realized that everytime I login, my identity is exposed.
Why? Because when I set up my Windows 8 on my laptop, I keyed in my REAL NAME into my User Profile.
When my Windows connects to the VPN server, it will declare "Connected to [server] as [Hawkeye1819's real name] with IP address x.x.x.x"
I am a bloody idiot. Learn from my mistake. If you use Windows, don't key in your REAL NAME into your user profile if you are at all concerned with anonymity.
I need a good fucking.
