I had my PC taken, for some reason they found tor dumb for not using tails anyways my lawyer said DO NOT USE tor it's compromised. They are monitoring exit nodes. I know about socks5 (dont know how to use) using coffee shops etc. But how do I better protect myself from exit nodes.
Do you think it's at all possible that your lawyer is telling you to not use Tor to stop you from doing illegal things, and doesn't believe that you will stop unless given a good reason (like making up some bullshit about it being broken by the government?). It's their job to keep you out of jail.
The fact you got caught with drugs and based on your post are still under investigation, and you are still trying to buy drugs online leads me to believe that you are the type of person that would need to be told an elaborate lie to stop doing something.
And I do not say these things out of hate or trying to be mean, I am sure you are a normal person all things considered. I just think it's far more likely that your lawyer is wrong and is telling you these things because he is either ignorant or trying to keep you free.
