Title: How Anonymous is Tor - Are proxies needed?
Post by: howsafeami on September 09, 2012, 09:58 pm
I'm new to this stuff.  I've read that Tor is not fully anonymous.  If one was to create a vendor account, how safe would it be simply using Tor?  Is there a way to manually go through more 'nodes' in Tor?  Or is it a good idea to use another kind of Proxy service?  If so - which are the best proxy services?  I assume the good ones are not free.  I also assume many vendors use multiple Proxys?   I'm not asking for any "incriminating details";  just some basic knowledge that would motivate one to become a Vendor here.  ---Thanks in advance.
