It's like visiting a bank wearing a balaclava
Sure, it's perfectly reasonable from a privacy perspective but it raises questions: I don't run around showing my passport to everyone (except for my authoritarian government) and yet I drive around with an id that the authorities can link to my identity.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for removing layers of surveillance, but I will still assume tor users on my website are either trying to hack it or have something to hide from their government.
- tenebrisalietum 4y agoA 100% valid non-clandestine use of Tor is to enable you to receive incoming traffic without needing to port forward or mess with firewall settings.
- IncRnd 4y agoTor's traffic is clandestine.
- tenebrisalietum 4y agoMy post said "use of tor", not "traffic of tor." A VPN is clandestine too.
- IncRnd 4y agoYes, a vpn is clandestine. However, it isn't correct to say that Tor's traffic is clandestine (which it is), but using it isn't clandestine. Hiding your traffic's contents is the same as hiding your traffic's contents.
