Title: LE (law enforcement) able to track Tor? On other websites and SR?
Post by: i3lazd on March 14, 2012, 07:00 pm
Are law enforcement able to track the IP addresses logged into TOR? Also can you use tor to post on other websites without being tracked?

I dont really know much, but, I dont think they can track what youre doing besides seeing that you are connected to an IP known to be a TOR-server.
These TOR IPs are added to public lists that some sites use as blacklists to deny access, so that ppl using TOR and hiding their real IP are not allowed to use their service.

altho on the public internet you will not browse with your own IP address when using TOR, anyone can setup a TOR-relay server and easily intercept traffic going thru it on the public internet, so its a bad idea doing private things there (like logging into your e-mail) as that traffic can and should be assumed is monitored, both by LE and criminals.

stay within .onion domains and dont use TOR for any private stuff on the normal internet and hopefully its very safe and staying like this forever.

this traffic right here on a .onion domain should be secret/encrypted and can't be intercepted I think, all the ISP will see if they look in their logs (if u use the standard vidalia browser bundle and connect directly to it) would be that you had contact with an IP known to be a TOR server

Depends on what phone and how you use Tor on it.

I dont think they can track us if they could they would have already.
