Hi, don't pussyfoot around. Noobs should consider to use https://tails.boum.org/ since it helps top avoid some mistakes. However, inform yourself about issues by reading https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#AmITotallyAnonymous https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#AttacksOnOnionRouting and other information provided by the TOR project. I dislike criminals and I much more dislike the media claiming that TOR is much misused for illegal activities. Those claims are bullshit, since only a criminal idiot would use TOR and care about the pitfalls of TOR. https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#Criminals "Doesn't Tor enable criminals to do bad things? Criminals can already do bad things. Since they're willing to break laws, they already have lots of options available that provide better privacy than Tor provides. They can steal cell phones, use them, and throw them in a ditch; they can crack into computers in Korea or Brazil and use them to launch abusive activities; they can use spyware, viruses, and other techniques to take control of literally millions of Windows machines around the world. Tor aims to provide protection for ordinary people who want to follow the law. Only criminals have privacy right now, and we need to fix that." - https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en Regards, Ralf -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
