He isn't linked to Privnote. I'm just saying, people who post their addresses on Privnote are exposing themselves to that threat. It's a third party site. You don't know who runs it or if they are trustworthy. They could be the next assholes to post addresses all over the forum.

Let's just go with Yes.

Some updates merely update the version numbers of the TBB components, but some include fixes for critical security vulnerabilities (like that websockets thing last year), but most people aren't going to check the blog to see what the update is for.

When you send a packet, it gets stamped with the number 127, and each router that it passes through decreases it by one. When it reaches zero, the Time To Live has expired and the packet is no longer forwarded anywhere. This feature was implemented because people thought internet packets might get stuck in loops, so if they don't reach their destination in 128 hops, they are killed.

I've seen TTL expired errors when there's a routing issue, like when two routers keep sending the packets back and before between each other until the TTL expires. Not sure what would be causing it for you.
