Title: onion network on mobile device
Post by: jamseyboy1 on April 21, 2013, 01:32 am
when in on my brakes at work i generally browse SR just to pass time ive made a few purchases. Is it safe on a mobile device? Any chance of been traced or anything like that. sometimes i get paranoid. I browse on iPhone 4s with the onion app

There have been several threads about this, use the search box. Seems mostly people say to avoid it.

How did you encrypt your address when using a mobile device?

I wouldnt suggest actually making purchases on the app. Browsing should be fine.

Your address is not encrypted for you. Maybe you mean your traffic is encrypted by Tor? If that is what you meant then yes, but you still need to encrypt your mailing address when sending it to vendors.
