The Tor browser is the gold standard.

All Tor exit nodes are mapped, monitored, and the exiting traffic slurped up by governments. If they choose to, they can correlate your entering traffic with their holdings of exiting traffic and... gotcha!

I used to use Tor. Now, I treat it as a honeypot.

I’d have to buy a new mac to use it. Needs OSX 9.1 or better.

They can’t track it if you’re behind a VPN.

Been using DuckDuckGo for several years now. Wish they’d come up with an eMail system.

I tried Vivaldi a few months ago and had to give up on it because it was literally ten times slower than any other browser I have used. Things that are instantaneous in all other browsers (like loading a trivial HTML page that is already on my hard drive) took several seconds with Vivaldi. Others seem to have noticed the same thing and I found some articles on how to speed it up a bit; but their suggestions didn't work.

To be relatively secure:

1. Use a VPN seret ice.
2. Use DuckDuckgo or startpage.
3. Get a secure email account such as startmail.
4. Use Linux as your OS.
5. Browse in private mode on your Browser.

A VPN is not a magic talisman. It is just an organization of humans operating technology. Don’t trust humans operating technology. VPNs are good for keeping your ISP from sniffing your traffic and then pushing ads at you but don’t trust them with your life, liberty, or property.

That’s not true. Not even close.

How do you get over the “connected to the Internet” thing?

If you are connected, they can sniff your traffic no matter what you do. It is physically impossible to be connected and disconnected at the same tie.

VPN’s will hide you from the Data Brokers but not the Government.

If they can catch General Patreas’s girlfriend they can catch anyone. He was head of the CIA and she knew all the safety protocols.

They knew she was using a public wi-fi and then got the local security camera to identify her car.

Their is a hidden story there. Why did they want him out so bad that they would go to all that effort?

Maybe I’ll ask Q!

If you log into something with your real id while behind a VPN using Tor browswer you’re an idiot.

All your ISP can see is that you have an encrypted connection to your VPN provider. They can’t see anything beyond that.

Otherwise they have a record of every web site you have been to.

They can’t see encrypted sites such as online banking.

But any open site such as Free Republic they can see everything you can.

The big Data slurpers:

1. Your ISP.
2. Your Email provider.
3. The OS. Think Windows 10.
