Title: How safe is it to browse TOR using mobile usb Tethering
Post by: Trollin on August 19, 2013, 04:01 am
So whenever i surf SR i use public wifi, I was wondering how safe it would be to use a pay as you go mobile phone with the GPS turned off then connecting to TOR on a laptop using usb tethering?

if it works it should be safe

i know that connecting to a vpn on a tethered laptop doesnt work but if the phone is running a vpn client it works, so you might need to get a cheap android and use orbot or something

theoretically i dont think its any more or less safe than public wifi, just more convenient
