Silk Road forums

I'm confused on this topic.. what is safe to browse on tor? just sites ending in .onion? is clearnet any other site, and is it not secure to browse them on tor? Forgive my ignorance..

It's a common misconception that hidden services are safer than clearnet. Hidden services provide anonymity for the server. They don't protect your anonymity any better. Tor gives you anonymity on both clearnet and hidden services.

That being said, hidden services can prevent users from screwing up in some cases. For example, if you are connecting to an XMPP server over Tor and you accidentally disable the proxy settings, you will connect directly to a clearnet site and expose your IP address, while it will simply fail to reach a .onion address.

Erm, girls don't NORMALLY have cocks, are you sure the girls you been hangin' wit are really girls?

Some of the ones I found in the Red Light District of A'dam do.

It's not gay if you regret it later.

The information is classed as "metadata", or transactional information, rather than communications, and so does not require individual warrants to access. The document also specifies that such "metadata" is not limited to the aforementioned items. A 2005 court ruling judged that cell site location data – the nearest cell tower a phone was connected to – was also transactional data, and so could potentially fall under the scope of the order.

As privacy advocates are fond of saying, metadata in aggregate is content. They wouldn't be collecting it if it didn't reveal useful private information about about people. They are probably looking for patterns that reveal terrorist cells and other high value targets, and not run of the mill drug users or even dealers, but once the data is collected, it never goes away, and it's always a liability.

OP is pissed because men no longer get the privileges that they never earned in the first place.

My phone is rooted and I actually do have that app. But I cant figure it out and theres not alot of Info. I tried to copy the key into a text file then edit it and make it .pgp and it couldnt read it. It didn't even attempt to read it. I think it just said it wasnt a encrypted file

There was a thread about this a few months ago, but I can't find it right now. It seemed to depend on the file extension. Try renaming it to .asc and importing it that way.

Bridges can be hit or miss. I've grabbed bridge IPs that didn't work, then I grabbed some more and they worked. If they don't work for you the first time, you can try new ones.

Will regular bridges mask your Tor use from your ISP?  Yes, if they are only looking at IPs. If they are using deep packet inspection to examine the stream, then probably no. But if you're in a western country, chances are very high they're not looking at your Tor use in the first place.

Wow, you're a busy vendor Jack. I had no idea.
