Any Tor network users here?

[Hamuki]

Hey people.

Is there anyone here that uses Tor?

And if so, can someone teach me how to use it properly?

No drugs or shit like that.

You can use and instal a web browser right? Just download the tor browser, install it, then use it. It'd really not that difficult. Just watch a youtube video or something to get the gist of it.

as pugsly said you've download the tor bundle and unpack it on c drive and it's ready to use. you don't have to apply any other extra settings.

Probably best to use it inside Tails OS.

Too easy to leak your IP otherwise.

You can always remember that NSA tracks down everyone who checks for the download page of tor or tails

This is correct. Tor doesn't protect it's users from others finding out they are using the Tor network.
Tor is a tool, it has limitations like any other tool.

What part don't you understand yet? Do you already know how to get Tor installed? After you would probably want to try out some .onion addresses. Many popular sites will also have a .onion address, just Google it.

[FanEagle]

yeah, go find the wiki of onions, which i wont say how's called because it's too frigging easy to find

Is it possible to chain a vpn to TOR, ie the vpn provider sees your TOR exit node.

What about 2+ vpns or a proxy and a vpn?

Overkill. Just use TOR, heed the basic rules of caution, know the limitations.

[Nude]

If it's just for web browsing, just install Tor Browser, if you want to hide your identity in more services go with TAILS.

May be overkill but I need to use a vpn because I want to control the end IP.

So use only the vpn. You can get it anonymously, but the provider knows your ip, and you have to trust them just a bit more than you have to trust the tor project.

But is it technically impossible or just overkill?

[jones techbit]

I was wondering if there is any alternative available to the Tor Browser?

[sionsandman]

There are freenet and i2p.

I2P VS Freenet VS Tor

It is possible I guess, go ahead and try.

[b!z]

Download the TOR Browser Bundle from the website and verify that you have the right files. It should work out of the box.

I don't know how to do it. I was just asking.

It is possible. The problem is that then you are trusting the VPS service provider. Tor data is not encrypted so if they want they can find out what you were surfing.
