>>60299531 yes buying drugs on alphabay mostly for buying

>>60299531
Yes, everyone.
Mostly for downloading a shitload of stuff, streaming movies and leeching torrents with >9000 open sockets.

You'll do everyone a favor.

>>60299531
I don't but I'll get a VPN soon, which hides my stuff from my ISP at least.
As for using something like Tor all the time >>60299567 is kinda right, even though everyone should use it to make it more saturated with random people not doing any funny business on it. But it just slows down the connection too much.

>>60299531
>Does anyone here use anonymity programs like tor?
Yes
>If so why and should everyone use them?
Adding more nodes increases the speed of the network, and a large amount of "legitimate" traffic reduces governments' ability to claim that privacy protection is evidence of law breaking.

Is tor easy to use? Can I still browse the internet normally?

>>60299701
Yes, you just download a browser from their page and when you use that you'll be on the tor network, and you can access ordinary internet pages through it, although not all function properly.

>>60299701
Yes. You download the Tor Browser and use it for everything you don't need to identify yourself (for example, reading a news website). For activities where you do identify yourself (ie. your bank site, work/uni related websites, etc.), you can just use your everyday browser.

You forgot to mention he should use an amnesic linux distro for Tor.

If you use Tor with Windows you're just asking for security leaks. Also things like disabling scripts globally.

>using a DoD network to hide from the government

>>60299619
Thats what I want people to realize out of peer to peer networks. This shit is actually cool to use and it helps everyone avoid relying on centralized corporate/government servers just to access the internet.

>>60300210
What distribution for example?

>>60299531
The only people who use these kind of things are those who clearly have something to hide.

>>60299567
I've always wanted to do this but I'm a bit fearful of sending a package with drugs in it to my home address.

As I understand it you shouldn`t be using TOR anymore without a VPN also. You need many layers of protection alongside TOR. If your TOR is somehow compromised by an attacker it will bring them back to the VPN address not your bare ip. I`m not sure which way around it goes TOR >VPN or VPN >TOR. Failing that use TOR within QUBES OS. I believe whonix offers some protection also. TOR by itself is very risky. Its not the golden days anymore.

You should be. There are some junkies running Windows 10 and storing your address in plain text mailing that shit to you.

Kek. Sauce?

>have smart phone, laptop, PC, tablet, smart TV

>only use raspberry pi to watch youtube
>not care about privacy
I get why you would care. But 99% of you just want to do something illegal.

Run windows on a flash drive and stop worrying.

I use them every so often when browsing porn or doing general stuff on encrypted websites. Some peace of mind on the "avoiding profiling" end.

Too many websites still don't have https as their norm though so I can't really use it for more general purpose stuff.

Is it possible to install an amnesiac Linux distro on a fully encrypted hard disk containing a hidden volume for persistent data storage? Or would you run into problems with your encryption software not knowing where to find the encrypted volume or something?

>>60299531
just install the fucking browser

>>60300945
Most of the Tor attacks I've read about come down to making a connection from the target's computer without going through Tor, which work against VPNs as well. There was one the used Javascript to fuck retards awhile ago.

TL;DR: Any of the exploits that work against Tor also work against VPNs.

Why not hard drive?

You could always just get a PO Box, it hides you better from the seller, but probably not that effective against feds, just my 2 cents

>>60299531
The future internet will require services like TOR to be standard. If you aren't using them now you better get used to them, unless you want to end up with all your "islamaphobic" comments retained for regime change.

At the moment, people avoid security/privacy protecting software because it's difficult or overly complicated. What needs to change is making these functional standards that just become part of normal user interaction. Hopefully smart people are seriously thinking about a future of internet that protects privacy... If only web designers weren't faggots and made practical web pages that respected privacy...

There's some guides out there on how to do it safely. The general concensus is that you should have it shipped to your home to help it blend in with regular packages, clean house before its set to arrive, and not open the package for a few days.

In most cases, they send a love letter (basically, "we confiscated a package addressed to you, come claim it in 30 days or it's ours) for personal consumption amounts.

>>60305180
Maybe I'm just not up on drug lingo, but what do you mean by "clean house", and why would not opening it for a few days matter?

>>60306439
Clean house means no drug paraphernalia or drugs in the house. This and waiting a few days gives you plausible deniability if you ever get a controlled delivery.
