Title: safe to access coinbase using TOR?
Post by: shermanhex4sun on July 12, 2013, 11:56 am
Is it safe to access coinbase using TOR? For that matter, is it safe to do so when accessing block chain?

Is it a better idea to access those site using a secure VPN on a system not using TOR?

Thanks.

Doesn't coinbase require your bank account information? If it does, and you're using say your own personal bank account, why would you use Tor to connect to coinbase? Your identity could already be linked back to you through your bank account. I think it would be a fraud flag to use Tor to access such a site. The only thing you would gain is that your ISP would not know you are accessing coinbase.
