Poll: Do you browse through Tor?
If you don't know what Tor is, answer no.

No. Because it just draws attention to yourself as having something to hide. Second, NSA has figured a way to track tor users. I believe there is an article here on LQ about that.
Anonymity is not an option in today's online world. |

used a hole that WAS already FIXED !!! Firefox 17.07 had the hole at the time of the javascript exploit firefox 17.08 WAS the current and that hole WAS FIXED in FF 17.08 and it ran a MICROSOFT .exe file to ping a nsa ran server so you were only vulnerable to it using a OLD UNPATCHED !!!! version of the tor bundle and if you were using Microsoft WINDOWS now as to normal tracking ??? yes and no ???? with enough entry and exit nodes under the nsa control it is " ? possible ? " to statistically correlate users times and ip's running through the nodes and start to make good guesses as to who is who but that will require a LOT of computing power and that is within a "state ran" body's resources but will they do it for EVERYTHING ????? -- not likely |
No, why? because I don't feel the need (I don't have anything to hide from my government) and there was an article a few weeks ago showing a sharp increase in tor usage and it has been blamed on a botnet.

No, I think it is just a honeypot like others have said, for the three letter agencies.
|
No, because I'm not a terrorist or pedophile. <---sarcasm?

@ John VV Don't know much about tor. I was just reiterating an article I saw here about NSA and tor. |

Technically usenet is also a great place to catch people doing illegal things. |
Only rarely, as it is slow, and the anonymity is doubtful though probably better than nothing.

No, because i love be intercepted

No. Tried it 5+ years ago and it ran very slow, 30-45 seconds to load a page (like this one) slow. And even if it's faster now, then there is the matter of if you trust it. I don't. In a perfect world you should be able to use it and have no worries, But in a perfect world you shouldn't need it either. I'd bet no such agency runs more of them than any one else as well. The last I read about them said the total number of servers was still too small to provide anything close to true anonymity. Probably will always be that way.
On a side note, I think most of this is just a way to try and circumvent the natural curiosity of others trying to find out what the other person is doing. |
NO! WTF would I???
The government already think we are terrorists... :rolleyes: |
