That's why I'm setting up my own mail server at home. And also plan to access it via web interface if using someone else's machine (like at home). I would only allow web access via SSL and password, and only show the emails of the last week (not more). Trying postfix, dovecot, and SquirrelMail.

Ya I know, I'm also disappointed that Torbutton stopped supporting the latest Firefox. But, I have tried the JonDoFox[1] profile (with Tor proxy), and it seems to work well. If anyone knows of any serious security vulnerabilities for using this tool, please let me know :)

I think this should work: 1) Remove the lines: BrowserDirectory=. BrowserExecutable=firefox from Data/Vidalia/vidalia.conf 2) Add the line SocksPort 9050 to Data/Tor/torrc 3)./App/Firefox/firefox -P no-remote and create and run a new profile with Data/profile as the directory On Mon, Apr

Re: [tor-talk] Adblock Plus and Ghostery should be included in Tor bundle

I think Ghostery + Adblock Plus + No Script is overkill. Choose one. They all pretty much do the same thing. Block nasty javascript. No Script seems appropriate for the Tor Browser due to it's default aggressive stance on any javascript. But just curious, which part of Ghostery is closed source,

It's not meant to be lightweight. It's meant to be a general purpose system that one would install on a hard drive, with a balance between privacy and usability, as well as various options for increasing or decreasing privacy based on personal needs. I want to eventually target newcomers to Linux.

Ya its not just the Live CD aspect of it. But also, people aren't going to use Tor 24/7. So if all internet traffic goes through Tor, that could turn away users from using it day to day. But I don't know, I haven't tried Tails since a few months ago so maybe there are some new features I'm unaware
