I would be more happy if my tor node would not be so very obviously visible. My current best idea is, if also the tor protocol is being ssl/tls-based, then it could be put and be multiplexed with ordinary https traffic on tcp port 443. My idea is to have some multiplexer tool which decides about all incoming connections, if it is coming to the tor service or to the ordinary webserver (that is probably simple, for example using SNI), and then proxies, where it has to be. Can it work? What is t...| Recent Questions - Tor Stack Exchange
How do I run an exit node anonymously? By anonymously, I mean that nobody can identify who created or runs the exit node. I know that the IP addresses of exit nodes will be publicly available, so I am assuming that I will have to run the exit node somewhere far away from my location. But I need more clarification on how to exactly do this.| Recent Questions - Tor Stack Exchange

I'm trying to connect to an OpenVPN server through Tor Socks Proxy. When I try to connect to the VPN sometimes I receive this error message "Recv_socks_reply: TCP Port Read Timeout expired" and OpenVPN tries to re-establish the connection. Other times instead the connection to the VPN happens successfully, but as soon as I try to connect to a website the connection falls by giving me "Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting".

I love New York. Not in a “sing my way down Broadway” sort of way, but in getting lost down the side street maze sort of way. I love the grit that the ever pressing force of gentrification seems to be pushing out; but more importantly, I feel absolutely anonymous when I am in the […]| Crutches and Spice
VyprVPN for Android, Mac OS X, Apple iOS, and Windows revs up your digital privacy. A virtual private network (VPN) creates a secure network connection over a network you don’t fully trust, such as the Internet. By creating secure tunnels between endpoints, VPNs are a way of disguising (encrypting) your data traffic so that third … … Continue reading →| Doug Vitale Tech Blog

I just watched the, as ever provocative, presentation of Paul Syverson at HotPETs 2017, on targeting adversaries against Tor. I will just put down here some thoughts on onion routing, threat models, and security engineering loosely related to the talk.

Inspired from another project called “Anonymous Wikipedia edits from the Norwegian parliament and government offices” I decided to create something similar for the Hellenic Parliament. I downloaded the XML dumps (elwiki-20140702-pages-meta-history.xml.7z) for the elwiki from http://dumps.wikimedia.org/elwiki/20140702/. The compressed file is less than 600Mb but uncompressing it leads to a 73Gb XML which contains the full […] The post Anonymous edits in Hellenic Wikipedia from Hellenic P...| Into.the.Void.
