Setting YTunnel Preferences For Increased Protection


The purpose here is to show you the means of how you can
better control your chatworld by becoming less bootable by
those individuals who would use a boot program to control
your chat experiences. You CAN control your chatworld!!!


Most know that the best offense you can have is a great defense!!!

The following YTunnel settings will be highly effective ONLY if you have logged into Messenger & go to Yahoo Chatrooms using a cloakable Yahoo 'Profile Name'. The following settings are ONLY marginally protective if you are in the Yahoo chatrooms in your Main Yahoo Account ID/Name!
Your Main Yahoo Account ID is ALWAYS bootable!!!

One should always create a 'Profile Name' to travel chats in and add your friends to the Profile Name INSTEAD of the Main Yahoo ID. There are links at bottom of this webpage to help with other Messenger problems, plus where to go to add a Profile Name under your Main ID.

Most people have found it alot easier to start over fresh and create a completely new Main Yahoo Account to add a Profile Name which is made to be very similar to their existing Name and add their friends to it. Doing this is highly recommended for those who frequent a particular chatroom and seem to get booted all the time, because this generally indicates that the booter is also a regular in that room and has been hitting their Main Account Yahoo Name/ID to boot them from room

Below are what I've termed the "Functional" or "Normal" Settings which will allow the most functionality out of Messenger and YTunnel. IF there is a booting threat in a chatroom or you have been booted by a boot program, then you have to "Tighten Up" - you'll need to catch me when I'm teaching in the rooms or ask one of the other roomies for these "Tighten Up Settings" since I won't post here the couple of changes to be made to be that tight, because the bad guys in black hats doing the booting can setup themselves too and make it next to impossible for someone with a white hat to deal with them when helping rid the room of the rotten booters .... Like in our own backyards,
please realize and remember:

Cops use the same guns for good that the bad guys would use for bad!!!
There are people who care about protecting innocent and unknowledgable chatters!

A boot program used for the SPORT of it or as a TOOL against those who
can't get along or won't tolerate each other or can't otherwise work out
their personal problems in any chatroom is WRONG! That is what
a person's IGNORE button and/or the IGGY BIN is for!


Now let's proceed with those settings so you can control
your chatworld more and use those Ignore tools! *grins*



To open YTunnel Pro (Build 272) Preferences
right click YTunnel smiley face by system clock



























Note: In order to mutually add a person to your friends list
you will need to change "Invitations" to settings below,
then add each other and return to reset the settings.






Right click YTunnel smiley face by clock
Enable Cloaking (must enter chatrooms in
Profile Name) This A+ protection feature
won't work using your Main Account Name
which is ALWAYS vulnerable to boot programs



Now properly setup Yahoo Preferences to go hand in hand with YTunnel:

If you want to create a new Yahoo Account Name
to be more protected by adding a Profile Name
in order to start over, click above link.
Once the Profile Name is created, sign into Yahoo
Messenger with your new Profile Name and password.
You must be mindful of the drop downs that are in
many of the windows/boxes - LOOK for them to click
the drop down to select your PROFILE NAME instead
of Main Yahoo Account ID Name which is usually there
by default. With a little practice the new way of doing
things will become a habit that protects you more.
Remember - ONLY add friends to Profile Name
