I'm using a wired connection while using TOR (liberte) at home is this safe?
I also have my laptop running at the same time while using stuff like facebook. (TOR on my computer, Browsing on my Laptop)
I haven't done anything I need to be worried about but I would still like to know these things.
Would it be sufficient for me to use just the TOR browser bundle on a completely new computer? I will encrpyt the hard drive with truecrypt and run TOR from a true crypt usb if that is possible. Liberte's GPG seems to be bugged so I won't be using it anymore. Also I can't seem to find where my usb drive is in liberte to save new files to it. I read in a thread somewhere that Tails uses scripts and I shouldn't use it either.
I want to start using SR more but I want to make sure that I will be completely anonymous before I do.
Any useful posts, tips or links would be appreciated.
Edit: I would also like to know if it is safe to download or upload anything while using TOR. For example downloading pictures or downloading text files from emails.
