Title: WTF (Tor Question)
Post by: STfish on March 04, 2013, 10:49 pm
So when I type in the SR url with a .onion.to after it, it loads much faster, is this a legitimate way to access the roads anonymously still? Up until this point i have just been putting .onion after it.

.onion.to is a service that hosts TOR websites for access without TOR (any browser). Your identity won't be anonymous.

Even if I do it through tor? Well fuck me.

Nah sorry, should've said- it's still anonymous through TOR.

Do it through a regular browser, they'll have your IP.

Are you sure it is because you used onion.to or is it maybe just fluctuations in the speed of SR? Sometimes I go to SR and it loads straight away, other times it doesn't load at all, and other times it loads but is slower than a week in jail.

All you are doing using onion.to is going first through tor to a clearnet site, then that clearnet site goes back into tor and to the address you provide, then relays the page back to you. I'm no techy or anything, but I can't imagine how it would make it faster.

It uses a series of tubes connected to the flux capacitor.

Dilithium crystals > flux capacitor.

Flux capacitor doesn't kick in properly til your router reaches 88 miles per hour. Dilithium crystals ftw :P
