anybody tell me what a
CLEARNET WARNING is?
-
nope, sorry. Not me at least. Google?
Here's a bump anyway. Someone oughta see this up top
-
Clearnet just means "normal" websites that are not onion sites. If you're clicking through a web link from deep web to the "clearnet," it's a nice courtesy for the poster of the link to alert you to that fact before you click, to help people stay aware of their personal privacy and security at any given time, hence "clearnet warning."
-
Oh, so that's what it means. i was wondering. :)
-
Excellent question, was wondering that myself. :o
-
learned something new today. But I still don't quite understand the warning part. If you're on clearnet through TOR browser, is there anything to worry about by just being there? I can see why you wouldn't want to access any personal sites tied to your real name (i.e. email, bank accounts, clearnet forums, etc.). But is there a risk to just looking at clearnet pages?
Also, I've been wondering about this for a while: is it safe to have a clearnet browser open at the same time as TOR and SR?
(If these are stupid questions, forgive my naivete. I know how to use TOR and all, I just don't fully grasp its inner workings).

I was thinking the samr thing about your last question. gotta do some research
-
Good question buddy.
-
Oh My Gosh!!! I hope someone answers that, because i would love to do my homework and look up the forums at same time if possible.

If you view a clearnet site with TOR your IP still is not traceable back to you. Go right now to a "check my IP" site, it will be some weird tor-exit-node shit

Good to know, thanks for the info. But what about using, say, Firefox for clearnet at the same time as TOR? Will the TOR IP carry over to other browsers? Most importantly, is it safe to access personal information on a separate clearnet browser while you're still logged in to SR on TOR?
-
what they said *spam*
-
It's a semi-retarded way of saying that a link is to a site that isn't a Hidden Service (.onion).
I think they're stupid so I go over-the-top with them..... like this one I just posted ;)

If you are using Tor Browser and another browser at the same time, only the traffic from Tor will show a Tor exit node IP. All traffic in the non-Tor browsers will show up as your normal IP from your internet provider. So it is safe to access personal accounts and info from the regular browser, but NEVER do it from Tor.
