Tested on #Pinephone + #EndeavourOS. Works on most Linux OS.

Only needs #systemd if you want to "start selected flags at boot"

-w flag requires nmcli (#NetworkManager), signal strength related: wireless-tools

2021 Story Relates: ISP's Quietly Selling Netflow Data

What really concerns me most about all of this is the Team Cymru CEO sitting on Tor Project's board.

Isn't that a bit of a conflict of interest?? :ohgno:

I don't think these articles will make the world's most vulnerable more comfortable using Tor.

Tor is a tool. It's still very useful in most cases, but never been an all in one solution.

Creating another layered network, between you and your destination.

If life depends on it, never trust any single tool completely on its own.

It's why I made this tutorial on Proxychains: connect to Tor using a random chain of proxies, and Tor in the middle, preventing single points of failure:

Tor Bridges are better than no tor bridges.

And you can also connect to a proxy inside Tor Browser.

(more anonymous than using a VPN with your name or payment method attached to it)

Want to try connecting through a proxy?

Try some of the proxies listed on the Gitea Onion (Tor browser accessible link):

Have to say I'm really concerned about this... We've known for a while ISP's have been quietly selling raw "netflow" data to people like Team Cymru.

Story out: access to 90% internet data, selling to military, corporations. ?

Surveillance is an evil, inhumane venture. Never forget that.

Scarcity Principle: The More Easily Something Is Obtained, The Less Value.

If Personal Data Became "Currency", How Cheap w/Yours Be?

Why Even Give It Away?

@PublicLewdness

I do know last I checked they get some funding from Google (in return, it's the browser's default search engine).

@PublicLewdness

There were a few others if I recall, like "baidu".

They made something for each search last I checked.

We can always change unwanted settings.

There are more privacy focused (by default) forks of Firefox, like Librewolf.
