so many

TOR has been compromised for a while

@Unwound Cite

cite what

TOR was made by the Navy

and?

is that a good thing to you? lmao

@Unwound If I'm talking to you, I'm gonna talk to you. "All VPNs are comprimised" is a big fucking claim.

also somewhat related: great read

I think governments have gotten better at tracking TOR, but you have to be damn high profile and give them a lot of traffic numbers for them to manage to match input-output numbers. It's almost impossible.

afaik they essentially have to already have full surveillance of the traffic you're sending to the TOR network, and then try to match the communication times and sizes to what end-nodes are accessing at different times

How are all my alt-right Nazis doing this afternoon

@Unwound brief summary pls?

What you choose as a VPN is dependant on your threat model

or paranoia level lol

that's what a threat model is....

The paranoia level determines your threat model

TOR was made public because it only worked for the navy if they could camoflage their traffic in an ocean of traffic

as does what you are doing with it also determine your threat model

what? I was being facetious. i thought 'emotion' wouldn't be considered in something serious like that....

Weird description from the outset

A password on your desktop don't do shit against a trojan, but it sure does prevent casual use by other people

Threat Level Midnight

Snowden is obviously controlled opposition and his story encouraged all other countries and agencies to invest massively in security and opsec - only for that all to be worthless because the ((C)IA and similar ABCs already have a backdoor and tech to get into just about anything conceivable.

limited hangout*, more than controlled op.

A VPN in the US won't do much about keeping your head down off of the CIA, but it will from the MPAA

yes, indeed, and thx!

I don't really care about the CIA or the FBI if they snoop. What irks me are private companies doing this for profit.

then tor might be an option

or maybe chaining 2 vpns? idk

it will all be blackmail in the decades to come, do not underestimate these things.

I watch a bunch of Brendon O'Connell, so I will never believe sec is possible

Where do you think "good luck im behind 7 proxies" came from?

I don't believe that Jeff Bezos story at all. lol

If you want to be absolutely safe, route to russia, china, US, russia, germany. Some shit like this

I think the CIA is more invested in convincing people not to try and be secure, because it still costs them money to spin up big iron to bust open some schmucks cat pictures

you will be like a white guy walking in Nigeria by doing that. you want to appear like normal traffic, and not seem unique

the reason you want to go to russia is because NSA can't follow the trail, then you want the trail to be lost by the FSB by going back to the US, and so on

bounce back and forth between a bunch of countries that distrust each-other so if people try and track you, their governments all freak out

I avoid all eyes countries via VPN yes
