Hello, I think there are two useful usecases for a vm in combination with tor:
For Hidden Services: If you run your HS inside a VM, it is harder for a imaginary attacker to gather the location / identity of the HS. For a "simple" User: If you run all the applications inside a vm, it is easier for you to ensure that there is no "leaking" application, which means that an application sends traffic which does not go through tor. good day, Jan Am 12.10.2010 17:01, schrieb Matthew: > Hello, > > There are, from time to time, exhortations to use Virtual Machines > alongside Tor. > > If an individual is using Tor, Polipo, Torbutton, NoScript, and > BetterPrivacy then why is a VM needed? > > How can VMs improve one's Tor experience? > > Thanks. > > *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
