When do you plan to make a second video on installing tor? I've been having a lot of trouble getting it to work.

Sorry for the delay in replying, and getting the video up.

I have had a few other assignments to clear up first. So it will not be very soon

Linux users should have a greater deal of anonymity while using the internet.

Tor would actually make web browsing much less anonymous because the host comp could just as well trace through the network of computers to find out what the original dl-ing comp was.

@whereisyourdata Hey your videos is awesome! I am kinda an00b to be honest ;)

But i was wondering if i could get some advice?

If i was to use a default proxy through a vpn through tor would it work and be advisable?

e.g. using firefox i set all searches to default trough a proxy, then start up my vpn: proxpn and then use tor... would this work or would it fuck everything up?

thanks for your help :)

I was using Vidalia and it didn't work at all. Is there something wrong with it?

I ended up gettin it working. You should still do it for everyone else that's having trouble though.
