Title: PGP for beginners.
Post by: Tannerite on July 03, 2012, 11:16 am
Hi all, im new to the onion and plan a long and prosperous time here!
I have a MAJOR issue with setting up pgp.
Question 1: I dont even know where to start lol. It may sound silly, but you dont ask, no answers will come right.
I've scoured the forums as im sure someone has asked previously for a step by step guide but can't seem to find anything.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Are you serious?

1. Go to google.com
2. Search for "pgp tutorial"
3. Click the first result
(4. Come back with specific questions)

That wiki page is out-dated and can't even link to the right place on Wikipedia (the article is for Pretty Good Privacy, not Pretty Good Protection).

A better option would be to read this:

Especially if the GNU Privacy Guard manual is too heavy going to begin with.

Dunno i didn't check the links. Either way i wouldn't trust any privacy info found through google. Cheers for letting us know the links are fucked, I'll know for when i eventually get around to pgp  ::)
