Title: Could this identify someone over tor?
Post by: Roxanne on April 11, 2013, 04:35 am
Say I'm on my laptop using our grandmas wifi and my younger brother is on his phone connected to the same wifi on his facebook could this be a problem or give out any info?

Nope. Someone looking at him would see the wifi, but someone looking at you would be seeing your tor exit node.

Nope. I assume you're on this site because your web browser is configured with tor. Any web browser/application accessed without using Tor just uses the normal wi-fi. Because of this, I actually have a separate browser for tor and clearnet that I use at the same time  ;)

I do the same, and I'm confident that for the normal SR user that is OK. If I was a major SR vendor, I'd probably be a little more careful. I actually have a Tails usb stick which is the way I'd go if I was a big vendor, but I like to be able to do other things while I'm fucking around on SR. I'm willing to take what I see as a vanishingly small risk. There will be others who have different opinions...

Ordering drugs from your grandma's house, eh? Time to take a long, hard look at your life.

lol!  If I knew how to give karma (or could, I haven't looked that up yet) I'd give you some.
