    I agree with you that OP should not be doing this (if he has to ask random strangers over the open web for security advice), this is not an answer. He did not ask about the ethics or the dangers of doing it, just how he could do it and how to secure it. So i have to regretfully downvote. Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 20:21

    @Mindwin - In answering questions it is important to understand the context and consider the underlying issue the asker is facing. I am somewhat surprised that you agree with me and express that by downvoting. Are you going to tell me next you've upvoted other answers you disagree with, because they answer the precise question? However, thank-you for at least leaving an explanation, bizarre as it is. Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 20:40

    @KevinWells - The other answers don't mention leaving trace on the client, which is a critical issue. And the fake certificate issue is not theoretical. I stand by my claim they are giving dangerous advice. Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 21:51

    +1 Client side history will give them away and OP can do nothing about that. His idea is simply not possible. Commented Oct 7, 2016 at 12:36

    @Mindwin I disagree with your philosophy on answering. What is asked is not always what needs to be answered. One famous category of questions demonstrating this is the XY problem questions. Also, this answer seems to fall under example 8 or 9 from this answer explaining what are good answers. Commented Oct 7, 2016 at 21:02
