TOR merely anonomises you and your location, anything that can be seen from the browser and the interaction of the webpage to the server and vice-versa can still be seen and detected. The User Agent doesn't give too much information, but it is advisable to alter it to be what you want to show what you want. IF you want to see what else they can find out, have a look ingot the javascript BROWSER object. VPNs are more for security. If I'm on an insecure network with my laptop, I will VPN to my home network and thus have an encrypted connection out from the insecure network that I don't trust. Also, I have VPN available so that if I need to connect to a server at my house, then I can VPN in and do what I need to without having other ports exposed to the outside world. If you VPN, you can then TOR through the VPN. That will create another layer of security. I have multiple locations where I can VPN to that I know and trust. Through one VPN I can TOR out to then create a VPN through that TOR tunnel to another location and TOR through that. It hides my location and keeps data encrypted as best it can, but what they can find out about me is always going to be minimal, but determinable. Thus I have multiple VMs for many things. One for one website, one for another.. That way, they can't connect the 2 using the browser data. Only by my external IP, which keeps changing because of TOR and such, unless I trust the site and connect directly to it. This is why I block many advertising websites. I block and don't use FaceBook, I don't use Twitter or Instagram or any of those things. I only use Google for Apps and even block most of Googles invasion stuff. So I have many things that I am doing to protect myself. In browsers (FF BASED), I run NoScript. I also use the Web Developer Toolbar and User Agent Switcher from Chris, and FireBug. It's a standard Setup for me. It allows me to run only what locations I want scripts to run from. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
