Title: Some questions about TOR
Post by: iceman1986 on April 15, 2013, 09:04 am
I'm using a wired connection while using TOR (liberte) at home is this safe?
I also have my laptop running at the same time while using stuff like facebook.  (TOR on my computer,  Browsing on my Laptop)

I haven't done anything I need to be worried about but I would still like to know these things. 

Would it be sufficient for me to use just the TOR browser bundle on a completely new computer?  I will encrpyt the hard drive with truecrypt and run TOR from a true crypt usb if that is possible.  Liberte's GPG seems to be bugged so I won't be using it anymore.  Also I can't seem to find where my usb drive is in liberte to save new files to it.  I read in a thread somewhere that Tails uses scripts and I shouldn't use it either. 

I want to start using SR more but I want to make sure that I will be completely anonymous before I do.


Any useful posts, tips or links would be appreciated. 



Edit:  I would also like to know if it is safe to download or upload anything while using TOR.  For example downloading pictures or downloading text files from emails.
