🔴ConsenSys Privacy Policy
🔴How you PROTECT YOUR MetaMask PRIVACY

#MetaMask, New changes to the API tool #Infura from #ConsenSys will now start collecting the IP addresses of its users.

Why this is important to know about this
👇
$mask
1- According to changes to ConsenSys’ privacy policy, when you use Infura as your default remote procedure call (RPC) provider in MetaMask, it will collect your IP address and your Ethereum wallet address every time you make a transaction.
$mask
2- Before, they did not collect our IP address, so what they collected was when we used MetaMask and other Infura API-based applications, which are used in web3.

🔴Contact information, market research activities, financial information, and more.

In this ConsenSys privacy update blog post the company said that its “policy has always said that certain information is automatically collected about how users use our sites and that this information may include IP addresses.”

4- The company also said that this isn’t “Infura-specific” and that this type of data collection “is consistent with how web architecture works in general.”

5- How you PROTECT YOUR MetaMask PRIVACY.
If you use your own Ethereum node or a third-party RPC provider with MetaMask, ConsenSys company says that “neither Infura nor MetaMask will collect your IP address or Ethereum wallet address.”

6- I suggest that you change your RPC. This will take 2 minutes, and I’ll show you step-by-step how to do it.

Step 1: Sign up for an Alchemy account after you sign up complete the first page you appear then click to “create app”

alchemy.com/?r=250a75f9beb…
$mask Image
7- Step 2: After creating ap now you can see the “View Key” option when you click the then copy the “HTTPS” address
$mask Image
8- Step 3: Now open your metamask wallet from your browser extension and click the dropdown that says “Ethereum Mainnet”

Network: Ethereum Alchemy
RPC URL: Your Alchemy “HTTPS” adress
Chain ID: 1
Symbol: ETH Block
Explorer: etherscan.io

You’re done.

9- Conclusion

#Alchemy, #QuickNode, #Moralis, and #Tatum are some of the other RPCs that #Ethereum developers can use. These tools also have their own rules about how they collect data, which could also change in the future.
