Title: Question about Tor
Post by: MetaD13 on July 13, 2012, 08:12 pm
I've heard that you should never have Tor browser and a regular browser open at the same time for security reasons. Although is it okay to have Tor open while other devices(other laptops, consoles, mobile phones) are using the same network and also using the internet?

This might be a dumb question, but I just wanted to make sure.

this is one of the things tor was designed to do, and there's no problem with doing it. the one thing you should not do is visit the same site through "clearnet" and tor at the same time, if your connection goes down your traffic can be correlated

Alright, thanks! I appreciate the help.
