@0 @Terry @Hoss @Nudhul @thatguyoverthere @sapphire traffic correlation is often how tor people get caught. also, never use a vpn with tor -

@0 @Terry @Hoss @Nudhul @thatguyoverthere @sapphire not 100% but I am guessing the way this works is that the feds are getting data from nearly every ISP of when people are connected to known Tor relays.
How you don't get caught: run your own Tor relay 24/7 -

@Hoss @Terry @0 @Nudhul @thatguyoverthere @sapphire there's only really heat for running an exit node, where traffic comes out of. normal relays are just an on-ramp and routing. -

@Hoss @0 @Nudhul @Terry @sapphire @thatguyoverthere I actually ran an exit node for like 8 years (I was banned from 4chan for life) but I don't recommend it, it's dangerous as fuck. I was running an exit relay and public wifi so I could experiment with traffic mixing. -

@sun @Terry @0 @mint @Hoss @Nudhul @iceloops @thatguyoverthere @sapphire egress shift is about the only use-case one could justify. vpn with tor is a meme and doesn't really matter. its a topic that's been beaten to a pulp by every "expert" online.
if a govt agency wants you, they're going to get you and you won't even see it coming. best preventive measures are to keep quiet and don't do dumb shit in the first place.

The feds probably own Cloudflare. Remember, Cloudflare was the platform that decided to boot TDS off the internet for shits and giggles, the first salvo in the mass censorship war.

I honestly agree with Jersh's conspiracy theory that there's more that could be done to kill DDOS attacks at the IETF level which are intentionally ignored because allowing the scourge to persist serves the interests of very powerful groups. -

they key is to send less than 300 per hour using a full authenticated domain and a script to type the emails so it appears to be legitimate traffic.
Sorry, im part of the problem.
Also, it's not called "spam" - its a marketing campaign and its for business. sheesh.
