Title: TorMail.org + GnuPG + Enigmail = Secure Enough?
Post by: raveryote on May 11, 2012, 08:41 am
This may be paranoia, but do yall think this is sufficiently paranoid?

I do not know who runs Tormail.org, could even be the feds, for all I know.

BUT, if i encrypt everything important with OpenPGP mail encryption, should be okay, right?

Tormail + PGP/GPG definitely takes you out of the "low-hanging fruit" category I'd say.

Originally I only got Tormail for drug stuff. Then as I did more investigation it became apparent I had been treating Google like a friendly government agency. I am presently shifting all my gmail related stuff (except for contact with government entities and such) from gmail over to tormail.

thanks for the swift reply.

yeah, that's reassuring. i certainly dont want to be the low-hanging fruit.

the last thing i need is getting snatched up by the fuzz.

tormail is really neat. i actually was designing a similar system in my infamous notebooks.

basically, it consisted of cheap nginx reverse proxies that took incoming connections to some domain name, such as example.se (registered with gandi.net; no bullshit!), so the domain name itself is hard to take down, and points to multiple cheap proxy servers that do nothing more than bridge into tor, and point incoming connections to the tor hidden service. outgoing connections go through tor, but any connections that need a domain go through these cheap disposable proxies, and you could easily have 30 of them all over the world, if you needed to. the feds would have lots of fun taking them down. :D
