The mode of invisibility in the contact, or how to be offline in contact

Quite often there are such situations when we absolutely need to make contact, but when we do it so that no one in the network notices us. That is, be offline in contact. In the same social network, "Classmates" with this no problem. Yes, you need to pay a certain amount for the inclusion of the invisibility mode, but still.

As for how to be offline in contact - here all the more problematic. The fact is that the usual functionality of VKontakte does not provide such an opportunity. However, there are some workarounds that allow us to achieve what we want.

The first way to be offline in a contact is achieved with the Mozilla Firefox browser. First of all, in the address bar of this browser we need to enter the following "about: config" (naturally, without the quotes) and press "Enter". After these operations are completed, the Firefox settings window should open .

In this window there will be a field called "Filter". There again, you need to enter a specific command. This time it's "network.http.redirection-limit" (again without quotes). The value of the appeared parameter needs to be changed to 0. In this case, 0 means that the browser is not allowed to process all redirections. By the way, the settings window should not be closed yet.

Now you can go to the main page "VKontakte" and enter your login and password. But that is not all. We are going to the network.http.redirection-limit parameter, and set what was earlier. By the way, at the entrance to the site will give an error - but it does not matter, it should be so. And one more restriction - you can not go to the pages of users, including this also applies to your own page.

The next way, how to be offline in contact, works everywhere and everywhere. One snag - it's too long, but you do not need to change anything in your settings. So, you need to go to the site in the "My Messages" section, and do not touch anything for about 15 minutes. During this time, the connection timeout for the site will expire. But you can not go to the main pages of users in this case.

The third way how to be in offline contact is for the Opera browser. First, we need to adjust the settings a little more. Basically, here is the same thing as in Firefox, but it's done quite differently. First open the "Tools" tab, select "Settings", the following menu "Advanced", and there we click on "Network". Here you need to uncheck the box "Enable automatic redirection". And after that we do everything, as in the first variant - we go to the main page, we enter our data and so on.

Well, and answering the question of how to be offline in contact, it is worth remembering about the existing fourth method. Like all the others, it is simple - but there are no restrictions at all. It's enough to install the "VKontakte Agent" program on your computer, after which you can select the necessary function with its own help. As mentioned above, there are no restrictions, you can not only listen to music and visit the community, but also view the pages of your friends. But it often happens that we go to social networks just for this - to find out what's new with our friends.
