Hey BFG, why does eroids have connection issues with tor?
ad
Eroids is the only site that constantly gives me connection errors but only when using tor browser.
I figured it's something in your security that does it, just curious as to what and why?
Thanks

I had to block certain TOR exit node providers, simply because I don't trust them.
TOR is a good option, but some exit nodes are set up as LE traps and configured to inspect traffic. Coupled with the fact that IN/OUT nodes aren't encrypted, personally I think an encrypted VPN is a better option.

AnonWell FML, that's news to me. I've been using tails, got any opinions on a better live system?
I like tails because it stores no data and encrypts my traffic...so I thought
Tails is good for privacy/security at your location. It doesnt encrypt your http traffic though, only your filesystem. It's using luks or dm-crypt (i think) to encrypt files or partitinos which is fine and all, but it doesn't provide "plausible deniability" like for instance TrueCrypt does with multiple hidden containers.
If you're forced to give up your encryption password, they got you. With TrueCrypt for instance, you can have multiple hidden encrypted containers and provide "fake" password that decrypts your nontrivial secret to the authorities, while the real stuff is hidden.
TOR like i said isn't encrypted all the way from you to your final destination (although nodes inside tor are encrypted). I'll draw up a later diagram when i have more time.
Is this true for the hard drive I encyrpted using with linux? .. plus nothing gets saved on my hard disk at all....
AnonMight be time for me to tuck my tails and put forth the effort into learning something new like Whonix
If you're using a LiveCD like Grrl above, you got nothing to fear (if OS is correctly configured nothing gets saved to harddisk), except maybe a http sniffing attack (tcp packet inspection) since your http requests aren't encrypted (ssl), which is rare, but it happens.
AnonAlways use live. I also use prepaid wireless routers or prepaid phones to tether
Anonx2 - the guru has spoken
It does that to me quite often too. I get a lot of the 404 error message with the cat, mrow... mrow... mrow...
