I think it's pretty irresponsible to publish privacy tools that you know don't actually give adequate privacy. It's easy for me to see the holes in this technique, but not everyone is technical. If someone's reading this and considering deploying this tool, please just use tor + torbutton instead..

- norova 16y agoGod forbid I put myself out there in an attempt to share something with the world (which is admittedly naive) and maybe let someone else improve upon an idea. I'm so terribly irresponsible.
- mthoms 16y agoYou did nothing wrong and should carry on learning, coding and sharing. Thanks for sharing your project with HN.
