There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

It is true that the old guard of Rationalwiki have generally been averse to using some of the more ’’dodgy’’ methods of working on the internet. However, it pays to know how to protect yourself and your identity, especially if you are considering going toe-to-toe with fascists. So be prepared to unleash your inner HACKER ON STEROIDS, and engage in some sub(Human) cabal sock ice hacking!
Defensive Measures[edit]

IP Addresses[edit]

Proxies[edit]
Tor is, to my experience, the easiest way to both mask your IP address, and to avoid IP-based bans.
