So I know this guy who says that a VPN combined with Tor browser bundle on windows is just as good if not better than midouri on Liberte.... Is he right?
P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if there are already threads about this subject, so my apologies if there are.

Liberte has DNS leaks.

lol sorry im a total noob so u will have to bear with me.....
what exactly does DNS leak mean? Good thing, or bad thing? should i stick to my vpn and tor bundle or use liberte?
-
It's bad lol. Either use TOR bundle or FF with the TOR button. Using VPN on top isn't a bad idea but I wouldn't say it was 100% necessary.

Alrighty than. Thanks for the help man. :)

No worries. Enjoy! :)

I've a little 'throwaway' netbook. I keep a Tails setup on a flash drive. Everything I need stashed on Lastpass...
For chatting and such, yeah, I just keep a Tor setup on here...then if it's something I want to keep quiet, I can go get a coffee, and use my Tails OS
Tails keep me honest. I gather it now has persistence, but even encrypted, I'd just as soon not have persistence, as that's what Tails who strength is, that I can't fuck myself out of laziness or something...
I boot up Tails, adjust the keypad so it's not so jumpy, hook into my network, then go to LastPass and get anything else I need: lastpass is handy as hell for this, but there are other ways, to keep what I need 'in the cloud'...

Liberte has DNS leaks.
Please, more info about that.
