It wants to make them invisible to people that do not pay them for the information from tracking techniques... It's charging to unblock tracking information for third parties, nothing else.

Privacy and Anonymity are completely different. Tor was compromised in 2013, users can be identified by rogue nodes and traffic staining techniques. That is why GCHQ runs a lot of Tor Nodes. The Tor Browser Bundle was altered, possibly with the agreement of the developers to assist Law Enforcement with Operation Onymous in 2014. All the default security settings were changed to the lowest level and scripts were turned on. The script feature was also left operating despite the setting being set to off/blocked in later releases - to assist further with police investigations. The way it worked was that sites run a script when a user connected and the Tor Browser Bundle firefox sent replies outside Tor, back to Law Enforcement. Certain sites were given ID numbers and once the user connected, firefox run the script and identified the real IP address of the person. Tor Project would never answer questions over this. They also presented for download a version in November and December 2013 that had a "profiler trojan" built in, but only identifiable by Kaspersky antivirus at the time, because that company would not assist with exposing users. Some sites had pictures and videos that were modified, so they would cause a video player or picture viewer program to call for extra resources or a CODEC. Unless you blocked this or set VLC, for example, to connect out on a random IP and Port, you would be connected to Law Enforcement and they tracked you. Other files were just remote access trojans and law enforcement just sat watching what users did. VPNs are dangerous. YouTube affiliates only advertise them as they earn up to 40% of each referral. Most are only Proxy Servers, not VPNs. They operate on rented equipment in datacnters like M247 Ltd - who are forced to hand over all data in the UK at the request of police with a Production Order. The VPN collects, inspects, manipulates and redirects your data and sifts through to see if there is anything they can add to a user profile. Some VPNs want email addresses, phone numbers, WifI info, contact lists, PRECISE LOCATION and also your credit card details as your verified profile is sold for more. Even if the VPN doesn't collect all your data, the Host Company can and does sell it to whoever wants it A VPN only hides the IP, technology has moved on in the past 10years, now it is possible to trace anyone anywhere. Security Services can locate a person using facial recognition, using input from doorbells, CCTV, phones, ANPR etc. They can also tell who is with you if you are talking near a phone or alexa, or some TVs.

@wintrywind I definitely would be using KAPE/Nord and all the others running your data through the same Datacenter proxy servers. All your Data is logged, stored and assigned to the profile associated with your credit card account. The Data is then collected and sold again by the hosting company. ALL VPNs log your data, if they say they don't, or say no one does, they are not being honest. They all cooperate with Police and Security Services. If your data goes through anything in the UK, it must be made available to GCHQ. This is why PIA stopped using UK hosts, they had their UK servers located in Amsterdam. It doesn't stop anything, the Police ask a partner country to get the information under different local Laws. Only one or two VPNs respect privacy and make it impossible to supply data on users, they are PRQ and Mullvad. Beware of the many VPNs that are set up as a front, some like WeVPN were even being recommended by idiot influencer types just in it for the money, they never got paid! We have suspicions about Proton. Will this ever be the next Excrochat, plenty think it will.

They know all the guard nodes too, what you might want to look at is the settings to make Tor settings look like Microsoft update data. This can help on DPI/DPI systems, but newer ones cross reference the traffic and IP, so it is pointless depending on who you are hiding from. A guard node is as insecure as an exit node. I could set one up and inspect and modify traffic. Police and Security Services in the UK do this all the time. Look how many sites that are aimed at privacy still insist on the lowest security settings on Tor Browser and demand scripts are run! That is so they track you and know your real ID. A lot of exit and middle nodes are run by GCHQ and NSA to play with. They can stain traffic going in to see where it comes out, so get the real IP that way. Two university students were threatened or paid not to give a talk on how to de-anonymise Tor users when they went to DEFCON. The talk was pulled as it would have revealed users can be traced easily and ruined the work of the security services. Tor Browser Bundle had firefox changed by developers - because they say it was not hacked - to facilitate Operation Onymous in 2014. Scripts were all set to run, but the program was like that from default instead of how it was previously with everything set to OFF. That was pressure being put on the team by Security Services and they rolled over. Then they allowed all scripts to be run no matter if the setting was on or off. Again, to keep police and security services happy because they were running exploits on Tor Users. You really can't trust anyone.

@johnmachenzie1613 Doesn't make any difference. If you look ay DPI/DPI, Deep Packet inspection and Deep Packet Injection, the traffic type is identified and can be manipulated easily. They still know it is Tor Traffic, so can block that guard node easily or compromise that system and monitor it. The only way to use Tor is via free WiFi from a distance!
4
My advice is DON'T. I tried it and had loads of trouble in the UK. People don't understand that traffic is not from you on your IP, it is from a Tor Exit node. I would pay for a remote one or pay towards the project and they will run one on your behalf for a monthly fee. Some ISPs refuse to allow it. I was with BT in 2012 and they went wild. I tried it before then as a middle node and should have stuck with that.

VPNs on sale today are nothing more than Proxy Servers in rented datacenters. All traffic is logged and stored and sold by the companies involved including the hosting companies. What makes me sick is the youtube people like Tom Spark promoting and reviewing services just to earn a bit of money from affiliate sales. Many reviews are paid with prepared scripts. He reviewed WeVPN without even knowing who was behind it and that it had been compromised a year ago. Other VPNs, Windscribe and TorGuard were so desperate for new customers, they give free subscriptions to users for the remaining time they had between UK Police/Security Services closing down the fronted service and end of contracts. They know customer data is valuable.

I agree, I used a VPN to stop my ISP being nosey, but found there were stronger Laws protecting my info than with PIA or the HoneyPot VPN called WeVPN. What you need to do is see how many companies refuse to accept a VoIP number even if it is valid and you pay for it. They want to be able to track you. I got a Pixel and use Graphene, with FDroid and similar stores. I use a VoIP number and only use the SIM for data. That also means all permissions are switched off to avoid tracking apart from to the Cell Site ping. Your choice of Apps needs to be changed, for example, use Bitwarden and use Aegis Authenticator. Some 2FA Apps, Twilio Authy being one, take all the data they can through permissions you agree to and sell it on to others. They have never said what they do with the data they take or for what purpose. Never use Twitter on the App, or Youtube, use browsers on the phone and use Brave. You really need to section off social media, work and hone.

When police and security services set up a VPN, they used the excuse that it was 6 people that had all left PIA when Kape bought them out. I was able to research and found the IPs coming from a UK Police IP range and stopped using them immediately about a year ago.
2
The Hosting Companies running the proxy servers that VPN offer to customers also sell all the data and hand it over upon request - it all has to be logged in the UK for Security Services and police anyway. Look at WeVPN, a front for a service run by UK Police! What about Proton, ask who is really running that...
2
Agreed. My ISP is collecting a lot of data about me and manipulating what I see, so is my home Router from TPLink and another from DLINK. Then Microsoft and Google take a bit of data, so do most of the Apps on my phones! It's so annoying.
2
And that is how it works! Exactly how you are identified using Tor, they stain the traffic going in and look for it on the exit nodes. GCHQ and NSA monitor all Tor nodes are correlate the traffic.
2
@J43rv1 He might have been the only person using Tor at the time on the college network, and there was a good chance it was linked, but there was NO EVIDENCE. He should have followed legal advice and said nothing, just left it for the prosecution to prove he had done something. If he had not confessed, he would have been released.
2
@johnmachenzie1613 No he wouldn't, they would have gone through the amount of users on the network at the exact time. Then got a list of users and the IPs they connected to. The Tor Bridge/Guard would have stood out a mile and it would only have delayed the arrest. The police would look at people connecting to sites, check what sort of traffic was used and then see a guard node and think Tor.
2
Trying to register using Tor is impossible now, unless you lower your security and let them run scripts that phone home to report your real IP ! Stick wireshark on. At the moment it comes up with the error "No authentication method available".

It's not secure really is it. There is no standard of encryption between email providers, so all your emails go in clear text in and out of their spam filters. Your clear text email goes in to the service, goes through a spam filter, then gets encrypted for you to read. When email goes out, it goes in clear text... All your email is logged and stored BY LAW by ProtonMail...for Law Enforcement. Don't be fooled. They also need to link your phone and credit or debit cards or paypal to your account for law enforcement. E2E is a false claim, so is secure.

Cue the affiliate nonsense for 8000% off and 3million days free affiliate on "we were banned from PayPal" Nord.
1
They're probably having to admit to what they have been doing for years anyway.
1
Oh dear! Email encryption ? When email comes from anyone else it is in plain text, when it leaves tutanota it goes out in plain text. There is no agreed standard for encrypting emails between providers. The only encryption is client to server, nothing else.
1
They all log data as they need it for billing and for controlling how many devices you connect up and where those devices are. Don't forget they (and police) see all your unencrypted Data - under UK Law definitely as it is a requirement. If the company itself does not directly log data, the host company or equipment owner is required to. It doesn't matter if a server is RAM only.
1
The problem is - how secure is the device that your password manager is on. If your phone has been hacked or your PC hacked, all the attacker needs to do is watch what you are typing or what is displayed on the screen. This means a simple modified Excel file or just a plain system hack gets you in. It makes your encrypted messages, emails and calls in the clear before and after any encryption. The programs themselves are not the real risk. You could go to a naughty adult site, allow scripts to be run on a browser and find you have a compromised computer and it will be your backdoor people go for! There are SO MANY risks. Secure your network, secure your devices, learn not to click on things, open documents in Google Drive and use NextDNS together with programs like AdGuardHome to limit certain sites.
1
I hope you do not use a credit card or all that information in your profile is sold as verified! Try cancelling with them or even asking them why PayPal banned them.
1
Apart from your DNA being taken off the intercepted post!
1
Agreed, even home routers are inspecting and collecting all your traffic. Have you noticed how many of them hide it as antivirus monitoring or traffic shield systems.

It's the next EncroChat...

14:09 there was another exploit used by security services on Tor users, a very simple one. They were uploading video files with vile titles to specific forums. When people downloaded the video and tried to play it, VLC or Windows Media Player would say, "oh we need a new CODEC" and went off to get it from an IP number. This identified the victim. A very easy way to stop this in VLC was adjusting the config file to tell it to connect to a random IP and port. It was a simple exploit. This is why people were always told not to connect to the Internet when they opened any saved file. The TorProject altered the browser bundle read for Operation Onymous after pressure from police and security services, you might have noticed all scripts were allowed by default and even allowed if you set security to high. This was no error or fault, it was deliberate to help locate a number of Tor users on naughty forums.
1
If it is in the UK like M247 Ltd, then all your data can be turned over to police and security services. Unfortunately Mullvad has servers located in their datacenter.

UK Banks and financial people BLOCK ProtonMail. I found this when I tried using an account.
1
With access granted to NSA and GCHQ.
1
Stupid people do that using Tor too!
1
None of the accounts are anonymous, they are all linked to a phone number that gives a precise location and/or a payment method that is traced to you like a debit card, credit card or paypal. They also scan all your plain text emails as they leave and arrive at the servers before and after they encrypt and decrypt them. It's one massive honeypot - the next EncroChat.

@49531 Tor is, it was compromised in 2013 in preparation for Operation Onymous. The download had all the security settings set to low by default when previously they were high and for months when security settings were changed to high, scripts were running on every site to assist law enforcement. I even downloaded a exe from the site that contained a profiler trojan, but tor project ignored complaints. Many exit nodes are compromised. Don't use a VPN, they provide all your data to law enforcement and manipulate it. The reason people use a VPN and Tor is because they connect to a bridge to hide what they are doing. Tor is not secure, not private and you can be uncovered at any time. Remember the DEFCON talk that was going to show how this worked - it was pulled and they went quiet. VPNs might not directly log, but hosts that own equipment have to by law. I recently found WeVPN was a honeypot, they vanished once people realised and the police operation was shut down. One server was on a UK police IP. If you connected in to Manchester, UK, the police were watching. Some say these Encryption In transit email services like Proton are honeypots.

ProtonMail STILL LIES to customers claiming End2End Encryption. This is not possible with email as there is no standard for encrypted email. All those people that think ProtonMail or ProtonVPN is safe or secure because it is in a country with good privacy Laws are being lied to. Proton can see ALL email in and out before it is encrypted and after it is encrypted.
1
email goes in plain text after it is decoded to leave the server and go on to the recipient server. So you get it right, from your system to the email service it goes encrypted, then it gets decrypted before forwarding on to a different ISP or email service. When your email from another person arrives, it is in plain text, it gets encrypted and sent to you. All law enforcement does is monitor the input and output of ProtonMail as it is all in clear text. ProtonMail also refuses to release some code relating to this, lying about how people would work out how they scammed all your emails for spam for example. So they scan and collect and manipulate data when it is in the clear. They are correct that they can not read your email AFTER it is encrypted, but they can when it is decrypted! It is a play on words, vague language is used in order to confuse and try and suggest a different meaning was intended. It is the next EncroChat, you will see once the investigation is made public.

never use Windows, always wipe any PC completely after each use with Privazer, a shellbag cleaner and bleachbit. I spent years testing file and PC wiping software by running it and then examining PCs with EnCase. Evidence Eliminator was really good, but so is PrivaZer. Many others left multiple traces of activity. Your ISP records a lot about you and can provide police with access to your router as ALL of the commercial ones have a backdoor built in.

Proton is the next Encrochat, just wait and see.

A Honeypot like most VPNs are now.

In the UK, all VPNs and Datacenter operators have to provide access to Data in and out by Law. The other thing is that if NordVPN was going to ignore the Laws, they would not be adding VAT on to UK purchases. Do they even pass it on to HMRC as there is NO NEED if they are in a Lawless Country. Why would they suddenly be complying with HMRC and collecting UK Taxes on their behalf? That makes me think they also have to go along with access to Data if they want to stay in the UK Datacenters. I remember PIA having a problem with that and dumped the UK, they had servers in Amsterdam for UK people. There is nothing worse than some desperate for money youtubers advertising a VPN and telling various lies about why you need a VPN. 99% of people do not need a VPN and don't benefit in any way. All they do is access your Data you allow them to, profile you via payment method and then sell that data to others.
1
ONLY your IP is hidden, Google and others still know exactly who you are from many different ways. Cookies, supercookies, canvas fingerprinting, browser and device fingerprinting, the way you type, what you look at, what you do online etc. Technology has changed, so a VPN is not protecting people. Most will connect to youtube via a VPN, log-in with their Google account and wonder how they were traced!!!
1
You only need to look at VPN review sites and magazines all owned by the VPN companies. Then horrible affiliates reading scripts in return for payments. They offer affiliate links for everything!
1
Good job you did not add using a VPN ! People think that keeps everything private when all they do is sift through data and sell what they can before passing the rest to police.
1
Tor wasn't "hacked", but someone involved directly with the project in 2013 - or the host that stored the file for download had altered the security settings. This was on the instruction of law enforcement for Operation Onymous.
1
A true gift to NSA and GCHQ. Also everyone else ! LINUX here we come...providing it works with everything on the laptop now, it never used to - it was useless at one point. No WiFi, video cards and sound was not compatible. I will start with a dual boot, then remove Windows and resize the partition,
1
NO company is going to protect you in any legal dispute for $5 a month. Most VPNs and secure email services are honeypots.
1
It doesn't matter which VPN or glorified Proxy Server you pay to use, if the Data comes in or out of equipment located in the UK, then by Law it has to be made available to GCHQ. Mullvad does not ask for a credit card to create a profile of all your traffic against confirmed identities. They don't care who you are so long as you pay!
