Yes, but will you be more easily identified & tracked when connecting through tor, or directly with your own IP? Even when you follow all of his suggestions, you won't have absolute security. The idea is to make surveilling you harder and more expensive.
- anologwintermut 13y agoSo if you have the data, de-anonymizing Tor traffic is easy. Your only question is does the NSA care about people using Tor? Well, if we remove people using it to get child porn, i'd imagine an appreciable fraction of Tor traffic is of interest to the NSA. For the most part it's people who think they have somewhere to hide. This includes foreign embassies apparently So to the NSA, Tor is probably a flag that you might have something to hide. They are probably more likely to look at it than normal traffic. Put another way, hide in the network should mean hide in the majority of traffic, not some small subset that partially self selects for doing suspicious things.
