This is super interesting, brings back memories. We take for granted how easy anonymity is in age when anyone can spoof their MAC address at a public wifi point and be fairly anonymous.
Question: Is there a technical reason the author does not suggest simply using torsocks? (eg: torsocks ssh sdf.org). I thought maybe it didn't exist in 2013 but the github has some files that date back that far.
- mirimir 7y agoIt's generally safer to use torsocks, because it routes DNS queries via Tor. As oil25 notes, using the ProxyCommand option doesn't. However, it's possible that torsocks in 2013 didn't reliably block DNS leaks. In any case, Whonix was available in 2013, and using it would have -- and does -- prevent DNS leaks.
