Skype officially better than Tox, now hides your IP address by default

Didn't they say that before? How long did it last?

>>52605949
Know the difference between anonymity and security fuckwad.

>>52606655
You can't be completely secure without being anonymous.

the NSA is now on suicide watch. we can all go back on skype now, they aint tracking anybody your ip anymore. cheers bill g.

Skype is a PRISM provider.

Comprendo?

eh. i still prefer discord

>>52607721
Comprendo means "I understand"

Comprende means "Do you understand?"

>>52607676
Skype has NSA backdoors so all of you going back to Skype is part of their plans

at least tox is not botnet

To hide your IP, doesn't that require going through Microsoft's servers first?

>>52607962
Yes it does. Tox is pure P2P+DHT+NAT punching so the swarm sort of needs to know where you are.
>m-muh IP hiding
Literally only a problem if you're talking with people you don't trust. Also you can run it over Tor if you're a crazy fuck and can tolerate latency.

>>52606804
Like you are now? Pff

>>52608156
Anonymous to other users, yes. Would you post on 4chan if your IP showed up on every post you make?

>>52607944
Tox devs aka 4chan creeps could harvest all of the images you send over Tox and you wouldn't know it because you can't read code and nobody gives a fuck about it.

It's the anti-tox shilling/propaganda/troll once again? You guys never get tired, I'll give you that

>>52610266
Tox is shit. deal with it.

>>52606804
>You can't be completely secure without being anonymous.
If you're using a device connected to the Internet, you're never completely secure. If you allow others to access anything of yours that isn't connected to the internet, you're not completely secure. If you interact with anything, you're not completely secure.

>>52605949

its only hidden until you add them to your friends list

it literally words it that way, which means once you add them they see your IP

so literally no different than Tox

What does your ISP do when that happens?

>>52611819
So all Skype traffic is routed trough a central server?

You can't be completely secure, period

>>52613471
Yes, you can

Nothing, but usually they get tired of ddosing u after a while

Yeah, I noticed that too.

>>52612920
Happens more often than people think.

>>52608609
no, but tox doesn't show your IP - if someone could wireshark my IP through 4chan I'd still use it

>>52612920

Kek Linux version didn't get updated

Or you could just use Tox over Tor and not worry about a thing.

Tox isn't anonymous by default because of latency concerns with audio/video, but you can simply point Tox to your local Tor proxy if you want to.

ye m8s we get ya skype n microsoft is bad innit but we hav friends n family the sort ya kno so ye we all gotta use skype m8

>>52606804
Security pertains to contents, anonymity pertains to identities. They're completely separate concepts.

Tox is secure but not anonymous. Tor over HTTP is anonymous but not secure.

Folks if you want hi quality audio video streaming over internet then ip to ip via udp is the only way to go. Microsoft routes all skype traffic through its servers not for security but for recording and analysis. This adds lag but also had the upshot of you receiving traffic from the server and not the skype client.

>living in a third world shithole
>people deal over skype and don't get caught

How do I get an IP address from skype?

>>52607676
Just so you know, we can still track your ip, and if you try to go off the grid, you will get v&, so don't try it, also, we have backdoors in your shitty Linux distros, so don't even think that just because you're on some shitty distro your secure.

how does omegle leak ip adresses im a newb please explain how i can do this some broad freaked me out

>>52622326

>>52618825
>How does TOX Leak IP's?

Anybody can see your IP when you chat with them. Imagine every post on 4chan you make has your IP on it and it's pretty much the same thing. There is zero anonymity on Tox.

>>52623599
4chan mods, the FBI and the NSA can see your IP when you post on 4chan. Same goes for when you use Skype. Personally I'd rather be able to control who sees my IP (e.g. contacts who I explicitly add) rather than some nameless, faceless government agents and random server owners.

Tox gives you the option to be fully anonymous if that's the sort of protection you desire. Skype and 4chan don't.

>>52621120
>Or you could just use Tox over Tor and not worry about a thing.

I shouldn't have to use Tor to not have the person I'm speaking to know my IP address.

>>52605949
>Skype uses meme arrows to quote

>>52623690
>I shouldn't have to use tools designed to protect my identity if I want to protect my identity

kill yourself faggot. if tox had tor-like anonymity audio/video quality would be unusable.

>>52623659
Tox isn't even proven to be secure. For all you know, there could be a 5 man team at the NSA plugging into the Tox DHT just to slurp up all the conversations you think are private because it's considered a high priority target because people, pedos, terrorists, criminals, drug lords, etc think they are guaranteed security when using it.

Why the fuck would I use something that isn't proven to be secure AND leaks my IP to anybody I chat with? Fuck that shit.

That's not how P2P works you dumb fuck. The DHT is only used for friend requests, and those ARE anonymous.

Signal is proven to be secure.
OTR is proven to be secure.
PGP is proven to be secure.

Tox is not proven to be anything but a /g/ NEET project that trusted people who ended up stealing money.

>>52623925
The NSA can't break strong crypto. They aren't Gods with the ability to break maths. Besides, the harder we make their job the more resources they have to put into their operations, which means the less effective they are (especially in regards to low priority targets, e.g. innocent people).

>>52623932
Signal is centralized you twat. None of those are "proven" secure. Kill yourself NSA shill.

>>52624007

Nice strawman faggot. Crypto algorithms can be mathematically proven secure; however the software that uses them cannot.

>>52605949
So now that means that everything is going through Microsoft's servers?

Time to dump Skype.

>>52624361
It always did

Hidden from non-contacts but exposed to contacts. This is nothing to get excited about

>>52627522
So it's the same as Tox, except Microsoft servers also see who you're talking to?

>>52627522
Not contacts, either.

>>52624148
nobody has audited tox

In other words, default latency of Skype is going way up because some fucking retard gamers didn't understand what "P2P" means.

>>52612920
I was ddossed for playing average in a tf2 pug. I wish I was kidding. Luckily I have a subnet of IP addresses so I can switch and pretend my internet's been knocked out and they get bored and stop.
