Title: Using same vpn for tor and cleanet?
Post by: MrGonzo on June 30, 2013, 11:16 pm
Is it safe to use a vpn over your regular internet connection and then use it over tor to access onion sites? I plan on getting a vpn soon but have never used one before. When you purchase one does it provide you with one connection or multiple ones? I'm sorry for the silly question i'm just trying to better understand vpn.

You should set up your own VPN in Iceland, google how to do this. Sorry can't write it all out here would take forever.
Also look for "logwiper.sh" it's the handy Debian log killer the NSA left lying around one of their Flame/Stuxnet control servers.

Is it safe? Depends what kind of a target you are. Are you selling mass quantities of dope? Then no. Are you running this site? Then no. Otherwise it's good enough to fool your ISP into only seeing a vpn connection and not a direct Tor connection. Also look up how to control DNS leaks through your VPN (if you use windows) but Torbrowser already does this.

Should also look at fixtracking.com the site set up by DuckDuckGo that recommends privacy addons (for regular, non critical browsing)

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS ON HERE THAT CAN BE GOOGLED (OR FOR YOU REAL PARANOID TYPES... startpage/duckduckgo) WITHIN 30 SECONDS?!?!

WHY.

WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE DO THIS?!?

Hopefully NONE of the designated forum handholders shows up to answer and you have to do some learning on your own for once. FUCKING GASP

I will find out how to get a vpn from iceland thanks for the tip. I'm guessing it has to do with superior internet privacy or something along those lines. (i got some reading to do =) )

I have done research excuse me for not how understanding it fully. People are allowed to help one another out. It's not like i'm asking you to do work for me, the amount of time you took to write that hateful comment could have been used to help me instead. Or not click it at all. Either options would have been fine.

Why do people read a thread title, know it is going to be someone doing something that they dont like, open it anyway, and take the time to slam that person when they could have ignored it and moved on.

Are you telling me that you have never tried to learn something and there were just some things about it that you couldnt find info for or just didnt understand the way it was being put elsewhere so you needed to ask a question to get clarification?

Maybe there should be a quick guide stickied at the top of this forum with some basic information and links to vital threads.

Always better to ask a stupid question than remain silent and get fried. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LAW IS INVOLVED.

What a fucking bummer.
