Tor is a great way to overcome the IP instability of mobile connections. In other words, if you want to connect to a server which requires a constant IP and you only have a mobile connection at your disposal, connecting through Tor will stabalize the IP and prevent you from getting logged out every few seconds.
If you are just a normal user, keep using the mainstream web browser like Firefox or even Brave for every day browsing. To switch and use Tor is like stopped going outside and see your friends, and that in itself raises eyebrows, and if your entire goal is to be out of sight, you already lost it when people raise their eyebrows and start wondering where the hell you might be.
i2p users shaking in the corner.
It's an interesting, and fundamental, problem with the type of anonymity which Tor provides. As they themselves have said from the start, the whole idea of defeating browser fingerprinting relies on having lots of users, all using Tor all of the time. If that were the case, then nobody would stand out as particularly isolated or odd, they would just be indistinguishable. In practice, though, Tor probably never got enough users to provide that layer of protection. Maybe if you live in a very large city or something, I don't know.
Putting on the V for Vendetta mask doesn't help as much if you're the only one doing it...
@@SalenoftheDuskthe metrics of where you live shouldn’t matter too much. There are millions of Tor users worldwide, and even if it’s not super popular in your particular area, that doesn’t mean the end-point has any better of an idea where you came from. If you’re concerned about being unique in that way, bridges are more than enough to quell that worry.
There is a *massive distinction* between _Privacy_ and _Anonymity_ .
Tor Browswer/TailsOS are for the latter, not the former.
Thanks for your thoughts on it. To add to your final thoughts "the more you do, the more privacy you get":
It also helps to use several browsers and to use each of them for one purpose, e.g. one to access UA-cam and Gmail, Google Maps if you use these, another one to search for things you want to learn more about, another one for shopping, ... you can split it as fine as possible and each browser will only get a fraction of the information you provide. Additionally, tools like Noscript help as well as adding some spy server names to your hosts file as a local address so that all information intended for those servers does not leave your computer.
I quite like the fact that this was scripted - you can clearly write very well because the content you said was well spoken. I don't mind the improvised videos either, but when there's a topic like this one, scripting it was a smart idea :)
I feel like kissing matt when he says have a wonderful week
I'm an ethical hacker and did my final year thesis (2018) about how to improve security with tor relays. Any questions, just comment. If not, no worries. Great video dude
How does it increase security? Privacy definitely, but I don’t see how it makes a connection any more secure
Security specifically about what? The transport? The packets themselves? Endpoints? ISPs? @@raskolnikov3799
As in how to improve the security of a tor relay?
@tylerdean980 One issue is that when you use tor, the same entry node will be used for 90 days. If the node is stable, this will continue, but it's very difficult to know if it's malicious. Two tor doesn't use distributed hash tables to store its connection data, which could be more secure, thirdly if you're running a relay you will be probed by automatic scanners from China etc, there should be a system (possibly a dht) which stores the ips of these probes and blocks them from making connections to relays. The issue with this last one is that China hijacks ip address ranges to probe.. meaning that there could be a legitimate user on that ip in the future, but it would already be blocked. It's a difficult system, but improvements can be made.
@@camelotenglishtuition6394 oh interesting. Do you happen to know if Whonix behaves the same with keeping the same entry node?
I love the layer of privacy Tor can provide, but I rarely use it. I doubt I'll live to see privacy be a common priority. Thanks for the focus and detail on the topic!
Thanks for the video. The thing about the Tor network is that it is closely watched by the Feds. Would someone get more privacy and anonymity by using three chained VPNs instead of Tor? One on a VPN travel router, one on a Linux host machine, and one on a Linux guest machine?
Brave for normal daily use. I don't have paranoia about privacy. Tor for Dark Web

This was on my main feed. But I didn't get a notification. And I do have that selected, just weird google nonsense
I'm very interested in Tor.
What are your thoughts on the backdoor found in XZ utilities? Are you planning to do a video on it?
Tor is not meant to be used as a daily driver, only if you absolutely require the onion network protocol, or a VPN connection
If you don't log in to your Google account on Tor, does it increase security? I think definitely yes.
Very interesting
Firefox or Quetta Browser is the way to go for android users..
I use Tor every day and only a 10% of time I browse in internet.
I don't use VPN services (don't trust)
Hi Linux Cast,
Thanks for your Video. I do agree with your post
QUESTION
If I browse with Tor with a total new Identity (other mail, data...) is my Privacy-Anonimity warranted?
That's what you have to do if you don't want to be deanonimized
Always hearing stories of built-in backdoors in tor.
really? i’ve literally never heard of any real ones, the ones i’ve heard of turn out to be dumb over sensationalized stuff
keyword "stories"
In other words Matt, should we use tor or not is up to us.
as always
Tor is almost unusable for most pals out there
TOR browser makes a lot more sense than EDGE, Firefox, or Chrome.
How so? Those other browsers are made for a different purpose (and the Tor browser is a fork of Firefox anyway)
I thought you did a great job. TOR has been around a while and I don't trust it. If it could be compromised ( and everything can) by using TOR you have self-selected yourself as a person of interest, which seems like a bad idea, whatever your intention.
Your point about self-selection is moot if it works (which every piece of evidence suggests)
I was not affected by xz, btw
you sound very new to tor......
Best option for privacy is use an ad blocker. That'll take care of most of it.
You sad privacy on internet is imposible without leaving the internet. Is that so?
So how hackers exist..? Dont lie to people.. anonimity is apsolytly posible..
What he said is true. Privacy/anonymity are on a sliding scale, and it’s impossible to be 100% of either. That goes for hackers too.
@@raskolnikov3799 well their lives prity much depend on privacy so if it was your way they would all be caught and in jeil..
Since thats not the case i dont see a reason why we are discusing this topic at all..
I more like to discuss facts about how internet works..
@@lukaandrejevic5100 Hackers literally get caught all of the time.

@@lukaandrejevic5100they do get caught, all the time.
