Whadaya think about Tor? I personally use it on a daily basis and I think that it's great, Tor devs even released this 2 days ago. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-messenger-beta-chat-over-tor-easily It kind of bothers me when I see someone talking about "TEH ZOMG DWEEB WEB" without understanding how Tor works and the basics of Tor. Here are some yt videos about Tor. I'd also like to encourage people to run tor relays, because sharing is caring! P.S. Runa Sandvik and Jacob Appelbaum are qts

I don't really use Tor all that often but you're damn right that I have it installed just in case.

24573 just in case you should use it as much as you can since the three letter government agencies are harvesting data 24575 The term "deep/dark/whatever the fuck web" was pushed by cnn/bbc/other news sites/channels to make it sound more juicy. Websites with a .onion domain are called hidden services, Jacob in his little talk gives an example how retarded media can be, apparently bbc published an article on their website on how to make an account for Silk Road. The worst part is "internet experts" who eat everything up that media says make this kind of shit

The worst part is "internet experts" who eat everything up that media says make this kind of shit I know that they're callled hidden services, but it's just easier to call it deep web. It's a lot more familiar, although it's not an accurate description of what you're talking about. The Deeb Web is just Surface Web databases things that aren't publicly accessible like https://lewd.sx/nudes (if only senpai had directory listings enabled). The Dark Web is what you use Tor for c:

I tried using Tor a few years ago, but then I found out there was really no point to it because almost everything I do online would just compromise any security settings it provides. I just downloaded the newest version now, and it looks like they've improved it quite a bit. (they make it connect your browsing through their own network now, that's impressive) Still, I don't really do anything online that would need extra privacy, I don't even torrent anymore because pretty much everything I'd ever want is available through streaming services. I guess it's cool that it's an option though, but you have to really go out of your way if you want to be anonymous online. It's just so much more convenient to use Chrome or Firefox over a regular connection, and you get so much more out of it. (more features with browser add-ons, you can actually use Flash and watch YouTube, your connections are faster... the list goes on)

I use a VPN service called cryptostorm and their DNS server allows access to tor hidden services. It's pretty interesting.

I've only dabbled in TOR a bit. I used it for a couple hidden forums, all of which I never stuck around on cause the owners were cunts. Aside from that though I never found a real reason to use it. However, it is a very good tool for those whose governments censor the internet, and helps keep people semi-anonymous.

You guys visit the deep web? order me some ritalin 🙂

24596 If you already know then pls don't call it "the deep/dark/whatever web" unless you inform people before hand that the correct term is "hidden services" pls, security and internet are srs business 24625 I'm sorry but it seems silly to put convinience before privacy, but hey that's just me

I send all my traffic through tor just becuase I'm parranoid.

I don't see the point. Oh no, they'll see me posting on gaming/anime forums and playing diablo. Big whoop.

I have tor, but never use it. I don't have a reason to use it.
It's easier not doing anything illegal than having to worry about it.

you don't have to be doing illegal things to use tor...
some people just don't want everyone watching everything they do

not sure where you live, but in the US we have the 4th amendment that SHOULD protect against the NSA programs but our government is too fucking inept and incapable to stop them

Yeah that is true. I can see a lot of people using it for privacy :p

Privacy is the whole point of Tor

That is indeed an interesting article, I haven't read the whole thing but will do later on.
Both the guard node and the exit node will be able to see the traffic you're sending
Oh, isn't that just the case w/ exit nodes? Also I'd like to add that Jacob himself said that there were few exit nodes that were possibly ran by the three letter agencie at some point for a short period of time. That's one of the reasons why I said "I'd also like to encourage people to run tor relays, because sharing is caring!
", the more people that run relays the harder it will be for the three letter or generally any intelligence agencie(s) to track Tor users.

P.S.
New Tor update /now/

Im against nsa surveilence but technically, they are not violating any rights directly. They are sorta violating implied rights but its a murky fine line. So i agree with you but people gotta start making clearer arguments. Im am a active i2p and tor user myself.

THEY'RE TRASHING OUR RIGHTS, MAN
