Topic: Do you use Tor? - page 5. (Read 3559 times)
I heard that TOR is a Russian design. They had problems in Russia. I think that after this, they began to cooperate with the FSB. Probably the FSB now has the ability to monitor TOR users but if you are not a Russian citizen then you have nothing to fear.
Most of the time, I only use TOR to surf dark webs, when I need more privacy and anonymity (sometime, I will use private VPN if I need extra privacy as well)...
Like anyone else, I'm one of those people who are so conscious about my privacy and personal identity by in the end I keep revealing myself in the eye of those who are good to it. Tor may be a good help to that but because of low internet connection in my country/place it's hard to used it daily. So I just keep myself away from suspicious activity for me not to hide anymore.
As quite a few of you gamble in cryptos casinos from countries where gambling is forbidden, I was wondering if you use TOR to hide your identity. Or if you use it as well, even if you don’t gamble, to avoid your movements being traced when operating with btc and other cryptocurrencies.
i use tor on surfing the deep web but i havent try tor on surfing blocked sites by government or isp. although ive been using a virtual private network to acces gambling sites therefore i wont be banned by my isp because i see that this is illegal on our country and theres a fine for violating this rules if you get caught.
There is a large difference between using TOR only to finally exit to clearnet, and using TOR all the way to the final destination (conducting business with a fully onion site). Exiting into clearnet defeats many of the strengths of onion. I am talking about legal stuff not "kiddie crap". A well constructed site running in onion doesn't even disclose where the site is physically running. Yep, lots of stupid OPSec errors allow them to be found, but correctly setup ones remain "dark" in cyberspace. That is where I want my LEGAL mixer to be located. You can't grab a server if you don't know where it is. If you think servers aren't getting grabbed by adversaries, even though they conduct 100% legal operations, you are just naive. So yes I do use TOR. I am inside a linux VM on TOR making this post, as an example.
Before I've used Tor for bad intentions and because of curiousity on how does deepweb differ from what is filtered on the surface. I have seen much evil that im not gonna go back again. If you're in a country that restrict gambling online, I think vpn is enough that my friend does the same. Tor network won't insure anonymity or any kind of virtual private network won't help you hide your true identity if in your own your not careful with it. Bitcoin address is highly traceable and if without proper mixing of address and vpn it won't work. A simple mistake will trigger more damage that you won't know.

I saw some shit I cant unsee as well. Its been a while since ive taken a dive on Tor. for one, its slow as fuck for me usually, im on a metered connection that sucks and tor struggles at best. but mainly, there is nothing of substance on tor. not really into child porn or dark markets, and thats pretty much the whole of it, from my experience. its pretty much poison because people dont use that hidden space to share esoteric knowledge; they use it to persue corruption and mammon. we get another library of alexandria, and we use it to sell pot for digital currency
I can't say that Tor and dark web is good or bad! may be sometime people wants to share some valuable information across the globe anonymously like vigilantly and this tor is the only way left for them but at the same time they can use it to do some bad or worst things. its like a free weapon where you know for certain what should one do.
TOR browser is made to hide one's identity it can be a very useful tool for the people who want to be anonymous on the internet, also TOR is highly used for dark web, but there are some limitations that i faced while using this browser was that you can have a full screen window because it reduces the security level, moreover the speed is reduced compared to normal browser. But I still love to use TOR as my current browser because the security level one can get it very rare in any other browser.

That's horible, deepweb is like a demon nest below the church(internet). I can't even used my own camera on that sites, those being sold are too much to shallow. Those sites should remain under because as human I don't want my children and other innocent one be aware of how evil can this world we're living in. Using tor in deepweb is not a child play to begin with and hope they know what the consequences when doing so. But using Tor outside deepweb is okay with me.
I took a tour on TOR out of curiosity and see it first hand, Well I also didn't like what I see and I'm afraid that my laptop will be infected by malware or something. Its good to sometimes go and see what you can't see in the internet. But I don't think its completely anonymous as well or conceal your identity using it. And if you going to used it for gambling then I think a good VPN will do + a trusted mixing services to add another layer of concealment and usage from anyone who wish to track or trace your gambling activity.

I've been able to find everything I'm looking for on the normal web, and I've never had a problem with betting. So far, I've used Tor at the first sign-off, it's a slow, cumbersome browser, then I deleted it.
Exactly. Obfuscating your IP address is pointless if at the end of the line you have a physical address or a bank account with your name on it. However where there is no such private data available, it is still imaginable that exchanges could be asked to hand over your IP address. For these cases TOR is definitely useful.
I was thinking of that scenario as well. Some exchanges I’ve seen are based in EU countries, like Germany and UK, so I suppose they would provide that info. Although I think that would only be the case as for individual requirements of certain persons being investigated by authorities.
When it comes to provide data from all users, I think if governments pass laws on regulation in the future and exchanges are required to provide that data, it is quite likely that they will start providing it after regulation, the same way as it happened with gambling sites regulation.
I'm pretty sure that non-EU and non-US exchanges would also cooperate with law enforcements if the right agencies came knocking. Even if the exchanges don't cooperate there's always the chance of servers getting seized and logs being analyzed. However that would be the extreme cases, I suppose.

Using TOR to send your Bitcoin transactions will improve your privacy, but is only one factor.
The main problem with Bitcoin transactions and anonymity is less about whether you used TOR or not when sending the transaction, but rather that Bitcoin transactions themselves are easily traceable. So if you want to improve the privacy of your future transactions, it is recommended to send your coins to a mixer and from there move them to a new wallet (with a whole different set of addresses).
And then, of course, there's Monero. Not as widely accepted, but a good choice for privacy conscious transactions.

This says it all. You can use TOR, but if there's somebody actually trying to trace you they'll simply sit and wait for you to use an exchange or buy something online.
I haven't heard of a case when an institution would try to use IP address to trace the owner of a bitcoin address. It's much easier to trace it back to an exchange, get the buyer's ID and go from there, or wait for it to end up on an exchange and do the same thing. Even if the person they get to isn't you it might be someone related to you or that you've done business with.

TOR browser is not always helpful; you simply won't be able to access some websites if you use it, so it depends more on your country's legal regulations of the internet and cryptocurrencies.
Also note that state regulations might differ in different countries regarding gambling and regarding Bitcoin (Bitcoin might be legal, while gambling isn't, for example).
Anyway, using Tor doesn't really give you absolute anonymity online, it's more of a myth

Yeah, obviously TOR is only one tool; it doesn't ensure anonymity at all. But between a no-log VPN+TOR to mask your IP address, and Bitcoin services that don't do KYC, you are certainly not low hanging fruit and are likely untraceable, as long as you are careful to continually cycle through new IP addresses and analyze your coins to ensure you've lost the taint.
Smaller services will sometimes send your coins right back to you, so be careful to analyze your own taint if you want to avoid the cost of using mixers. I've always been paranoid of mixers, worried that I'll get back dirtier coins than I put in.
I don't gamble nor use tor. I do however use a VPN to guarantee the safety of my ip address. But think about it there's a reason gambling is forbidden in certain countries. Just don't gamble, especially with bitcoins. You will regret it in 10 years.

tor is a good option if gambling is blocked on your country by doing it you can acces those restricted sites and gambling sites also you can use vpn or virtual private network , this is like tor and also hides or change your ip address to a diferent country depending on the proxy you use. in my case i use tor only when accesing the deepweb or darkweb.
I've done that and done this before,, but I don't think I need to used it again.. In bitcoin I don't see any reason to,, but in deepweb or onion sites they're are tons of reason and not using it is as dumb as selling bitcoin at 2800$ last week.. I mean bitcoin offers anonymity but do we really need much of it when we want the government to regulate it.. We want only to protect ourselves but today it is our government who will need to protect us,, but hiding our identity to them won't helped them..
