First, you have to be registered to use the computers. That means you have to give an ID. You also have to sign up to use the computer. Nowadys libraries have cameras. Second, All internet activity is monitored and filtered. Using the library is the worst advise someone can give you !That is a very good point. Instead of going to the library...could you use your own laptop, and connect at a local coffee shops wifi, and do the process there? Any other suggestions?Feel free to use free Wifi in a cafe or library but there really is no need if you're using a Tor browser - it's a very trivial thing technically speaking to detect someone is using Tor, but since the connection is encrypted via onion routing, there's no way of detecting what information you're exchanging - you could be accessing a news website or you could be going on SR. Compare and contrast with seeing someone in a train station in a locked briefcase - the fact that you know they own one doesn't give you any clue to its contents.Having said that, it might be possible for someone who specialises in digital forensics to recover your PGP keys or browsing habits if they have access to your machine.I'm sure it's been mentioned before you should have full disk encryption on your laptop / PC in case it is stolen or confiscated. The best program for Windows to do this is Truecrypt as it's extremely easy to use and is free of charge.In Layman's terms the program works by encrypting the information on your machine. It also fills the blank space on your hard drive with random "chaff" data. Most importantly, it's not possible to detect the difference between this random data and your own without inputting the correct password.Truecrypt also allows you to create "containers" of any size to store your personal information and programs such as the Tor Browser bundle. I would suggest you do this too to be on the safe side. This is also very useful if you have to share your computer with someone else!V.
