[deleted] Hi Guys, I have setup OpenVPN and I was wondering if there is a way to configure OpenVPN to protect against software based keyloggers. Lets assume while tunneling my traffic via OpenVPN and I happen to unknowingly download and install a file which contains an advanced keylogger which then is installed silently on my computer. Now if this keylogger is able to transmit all recorded keystrokes to the hacker remotely, how does OpenVPN protect me against this? Will the keystrokes logs that was sent remotely be encrypted by OpenVPN connection assuming I'm still connected to the OpenVPN server?
krzee openvpn does not protect against keyloggers. all openvpn does is make a vpn connection if your routing table says that you reach the evil IP over the openvpn server, then yes you would send the traffic over the vpn
[deleted] Thanks so much for your reply 🙂 "if your routing table says that you reach the evil IP over the openvpn server" Sorry how can this be achieved? I'm a newbie 🙂
krzee if you bought some vpn service which redirects your internet connection, then it will redirect that too
[deleted] OK. Thanks. So the real risk is when I'm not connected to the VPN and the keylogger is still lurking around on my system. So when not connected to the VPN, the keylogger can send the keystrokes to the hacker remotely unencrypted. Right?
hesterl I think you'd better install an anti-keylogger software to uninstall the keylogger on your computer, if it send other info such as user name, paaword for important website is more worse I think.
Joana I'm thinking about procurement of keylogger to install on my computers, but I was wondering about your experience with their use. For some time I was searching the Internet and collecting informations on the existing offer of keylogger softwares for the computers, but I was wondering if someone has experience working with the company at the following link http://signum-soft.com/keyloggerscreenshots? Thank you 🙂
