Do you need to use a vpn for things like gp4win or wallets?

Kleopatra and everything on the desktop but this is separate from the tor browser. Just wondering should you be using a vpn when using pgp or wallets on the clear net?

I’ve heard a vpn is recommended against but surely your ISP can see what you’re doing on pgp programs or wallets so what’s the catch?

How do you go around using your home address?

Basically the title.

I go to some lengths to hide the crypto I buy, to hide who I am when on the markets, to hide how I pay so I'm safe. But at the end, whatever I need arrives at my home address, and that is such a weak link in the whole chain.

I know nobody cares about me, and maybe I don't need to go this far, but still, it bugs me. I can't use someone else's address cause they will ask questions. If I use a drop point, then I gotta go pick it up myself so that's not great either.

How do you go around this, if you're bothered to do so? How can I get it delivered somewhere where if anyone asks questions, the answer could be "idk, could be anyone's"?

How do you go about this, what measures do you take in this regard?

Do we need a need a new Onion-oriented subreddit?

Idea:

  • r/onions stays exactly how it is now.
  • r/TorOnion (proposed) is for those who want to discuss actually running onion services, i2p sites, etc. Discussions about buying, selling, shipping, etc. would be off-topic.

Update: I applied to take over the abandoned r/TorOnion for this purpose.

Let me know what you think?

is there a search engine that has search filters?

I use ahmia but I dint like how if for example I search "chat room" it won't show results with both those words first and will instead show results with only chat and only room in them.

What country’s aren’t as sketchy to order to the US from?

I see mixed answers. I know New Zealand is no go. I hear UK is much more laid back and better chance of your package arriving. What about places like Poland?

Unable to find the proxy server.... What is my problem with Tor?

I get this all the time, when I try accessing an onion.

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that can’t be found.

Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.

Check to make sure your computer has a working network connection.

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Tor Browser is permitted to access the Web.

I tried changing tor's settings, it is allowed in the firewall... What do I do?

No Books on Trantor

I've been trying to access The Imperial Library of Trantor for several days now. The site works, but it doesn't have any books on it. How long has it been like this? Does this happen often?

I'm thinking about doing a pirate radio onion

The goal of this onion would be:

  1. Stream lo-fi audio through an onion at < 56kbs. This will probably be a mix of weird stuff like public domain music, old radio shows, and crap you used to find on limewire. If you've ever heard pirate radio on shortware radio, this is kinda what it's like. The purpose of this is to experiment with low-bandwidth streaming audio. I want it to be able to be streamed reliably over Tor without using buffering but also without putting undue stress on the network. Audio quality itself can be quite low but it should be understandable.
  2. Experiment with Tor load balancing. I know there are a few project out there that do this, but I haven't used them yet. I'm hoping to get that working.
  3. Experiment with intelligent hostname switching. This is something that I haven't seen done yet, but it might exist, or I might invent it. There needs to be a way to automatically spin up a new onion hostname if the former one is is being hit with a DDOS or other attack that a human can read and adjust with but a botnet would not be able to automatically find. The pirate radio onion would be the testbed for that.

UPDATE 1: I'm probably going to use Icecast as the streaming audio server because it's pretty easy to set up. However, Icecast doesn't handle the audio files or live streaming, it only serves them to the internet. I'm looking for a solution to be able to play audio files at specific times of the day. Any solution should be open source and preferably Linux command-line based. I have a KISS philosophy for onion services.

I would really like to do weekly daily old time radio show episodes, random albums and stupidity, and I would like to possibly re-broadcast 's shortwave radio show. I'm also busy in my real life and don't want to turn this into a second fulltime job. If I can automate this on a VPS and just update the playlist once per week, that would be best.

UPDATE 2: I've got a working POC. If you connect to it, don't expect it to be working because it only goes live when I'm actively testing it, but this will be the final Onion hostname. I'm at the stage where I will put together the onion site with a javascript player and finally get a schedule put together of shows that I want to stream. I will also advertise the straight streaming link for those who don't like to run Javascript in Tor Browser. You can then run VLC or whatever with Torsocks and stream it that way.

Can we please have a sticky post or SOMETHING that directs all these noobie posts to the Bible or to search for their same fucking questions every single day?

It's exhausting. 15 year olds that want to go on Tor that bad should at least know how to search on reddit for their already asked 10000x questions

IRC server over tor

Hey, I set up an irc that should be routing through tor, and I am trying to connect to it via hexchat but I keep getting this error

Proxy failed to connect to host (error 4).

Proxy traversal failed.

Anyone familiar? I think my server is fine and my hexchat network config should be good (routing through tor on the default ie. 127.0.0.1:9050 with SOCKS5) but it still doesn't work

any help is appreciated

Anyone ever been caught?

As someone who is thinking about making their first purchase, i want to stay as safe as possible. If you’ve been caught, I would love to hear your story. Things you did wrong or things you would have done differently. What exactly were your charges? How much time or probation? How did the situation of being busted unfold. Is there anything to look out for?

One of the best ways to stay safe is to talk to the people who were extremely unfortunate and were caught. As we try not to repeat history. Anyone who answers, you are a real one and I am very grateful.

Introductory guidance

Hello. I am new to Tor. All the knowledge I have is from YouTube tutorials. But for some reason, my Tor interface doesn't look anything like in the tutorial. For example, when I open tor.taxi, the link to Phobos is not listed under the Search engines. I just want to find a really expensive video-course that I couldn't find in the clear web. Anybody here willing to help me? Thanks.
