I'm just wondering if users that rely on maximum anonymity should switch to 0.2.7.6, given it is still an unstable branch. > but most ordinary users will probably (and should) just use torbrowser > and the tor version that comes with it (so we might see an update there > soon?) I don't want to use torbrowser because of three things. 1. As I understand, torbrowser allows only browsing the web. I use tor mainly with protocols different than http. 2. I have a tor node constantly in network, which is better both for the network and for me, as I believe that there might be greater risk of deanonymization by correlating when the node is up and when my network activity takes place. 3. I have tor on one machine and all stuff that uses it on another machine. Tor machine obviously has access to the Internet, while this "user" machine has access only to the tor machine with a dedicated interface. Access to anything other than tor socks port is externally blocked. This way, even if some bug in browser (or any other program that I use with tor) causes it to leak anything, I can be pretty sure that my external IP address will never be exposed. This approach is similar to the Tails approach. > If you want to read more about directory guards (compared to an entry > guards): Thanks, I will read it. - -- Oskar Wendel, [email protected] Pubkey at https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=0x6690CC52318DB84C -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJWbEQsAAoJEGaQzFIxjbhMm2sIALegnN+NJcC2npCpNOF+QNc9 p2tl2lzWWwHq1YEKfzh6vvLweF75O1b2BCSru7YMjAslO3dVsRuHLXM8pRE/BDFl kU/KG9YxQUk1L768cWf1lSuT0nG8WeUQQEdq/b8ytBRm57em/kioEMB0tE5O6XfE FR3WXj9EonlQ0DaK7GfyxNF7DxlVvQdS2qKiFG2N8v2MnASs5keZ1EjFD1HQj2NI TGFj570t01Dsz9MXp8aYJQoLI5lOeYoom+Gb9xJktiiG2oxH6jjOXlhb4Eqbsytz B9E90wNGUuALFS1Lwuoz+BKcRVGnB38HuSRTexLCJrM+VAfMcYWWuL4EiiFj4Wg= =uy1g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
