How dangerous is it to be a communist in the US? Should I be very hush hush about it? I won’t ever be open about it but I’m just wondering how secretive I should be. Most of my close friends and certain family members know that I am a “Socialist”. I am pretty young and still need to start my life and I don’t want to ruin my chances of anything.
Some precautions I’ve taken are installing a vpn and only going doing commie stuff with vpn on. I’ve separated personal and political social media accounts and never post political stuff on my personal ones. Should I be doing any other things?
Thank you in advance
Not incorrect, but the VPN still has access to the Tor packet, so the security is compromised. The goal of TOR is to provide an anonymous network; running the TOR packet in a VPN just gives away your data, therefore reducing your anonymity.
I’d read over the Tor site for clarification.
VPNs aren’t about encryption; VPNs form fake IP addresses that have fake geolocations.
Yeah, but it’s not any more compromised than if the packet was sent straight to the ISP (unless the VPN is actually less trustworthy)
It is though. Adding more adversaries that can snoop on the packets leads to a higher chance of your data being leaked.
TOR was never designed to run on VPNs; and they don’t recommend using a VPN on TOR.
If you don’t use a VPN, your ISP has access to
T. If you do use a VPN, your VPN provider has access toT, but your ISP only has access toV. Whether you’re adding another adversary depends on if you distrust your VPN provider less than your ISPIf TOR is already encrypted on it’s own, then why use a VPN?
Not revealing to your ISP that you’re using Tor, for example (although apparently that’s far from guaranteed)
