Title: Liberte, Tor and VPN's
Post by: noodle on April 30, 2012, 04:29 pm
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.

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.

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'...
