Tor Browser Bundle and Thunderbird Mail
Hi to all, my question is, has anybody used the
//www.torproject.org/download/download ..Tor browser bundle on Linux. It says on website has download for Linux .. Also if I used Thunderbird Mail can I still check mail individually ..not using Thunderbird. Thank you in advance for any assistance. |
i would not run email through tor
except to copy/paste already encrypted files into a tormail account and ONLY use tor bundle for TOR !!!!!!!! cookies from the "clear web" can and will give you away |
Tor browser bundle from Tor project website is just what it says it is - a browser bundle. Any application, other than the patched browser in the bundle, that connects to the internet is NOT routed through the tor network.
If you want a system where all connections are routed through the tor network, you should use TAILS - https://tails.boum.org/ You can run it as live CD or create a persistent volume. Thunderbird and Pidgin are routed through the network and normal connections are blocked. Hope that helps. |
