How to fauceting the safe way

How to fauceting the safe way

Fauceting is fun and can be lucrative. But Faucet owners need income, to keep them

running. Advertisement is mostly the main income source for them, but also sometimes a

way to influence the faucet with malicious scriptings. So a lot of users use any kind of

scriptblockers. That maybe safe for the user, but not good for the faucet. So how can a

user protect his hardware against malware, without diminishing the owners income?

1. User rights
Never! Never, never, never start your preferred browser with root/admin rights! If you

havent a restricted account at your computer, make one. Start your computer only from a

restricted account.

2. Browser
Use a portable version of your preferred browser. With the package, you can build as

many browsers, as you need, including a banking only browser. You can personalize every

browser as your likings/needings, i.e. predefined behaviour, open tabs etc.

3. Environment
If you have an installed sandbox, lucky you. If not, find a sandbox of your liking and install

it. For windows user, the free version of Sandboxie works well. Allow the sandbox

contents the internet access. Start your prepaired browser in the box. All changes while

browsing won't affect your hardware permanently. After ending the session you may be

asked to safe changes or empty the sandbox. If you aren't sure, empty/delete the sandbox.

4 Scriptblockers/antimalware
If you use your predefined browser as restrichted user in a sandbox, you don't need

scriptblockers and antimalware, but read attentionally, if your security pops up. If you

browser mining, some security tools may warn about. than try to define an exception in

your security i.e. for coinhive, a well known webmining service.

After all this, have fun and lucky fauceting.
