@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.

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.
