Privacy Tips for Anonymous Chat
How to protect your identity while video chatting.
Staying anonymous
Pomegle doesn't require signup. But there are more things you can do to stay private.
1. Use a VPN
Masks your IP address. Good ones cost money, but worth it if privacy matters to you.
2. Username strategy
Don't use your real name. Don't use your usual username. Make something up.
3. Background check
Look behind you. Anything identifying? Remove it.
- Photos with faces
- Mail/packages with addresses
- School/work logos
- Unique artwork or furniture
4. Browser hygiene
Use incognito/private mode. Clear cookies after.
5. Don't overshare
Easy to forget in conversation, but:
- Don't mention your workplace by name
- Don't say what school you go to
- Don't give your city/neighborhood
6. Think before showing
Your room, your view, your stuff - all gives information. Be mindful.
Why bother?
Random chat is fun BECAUSE it's anonymous. Keep it that way.
