Context: UK passed this online safety act thing a few days ago (source) where you have to verify your age on sites that might contain nsfw content and the checks involve stuff like uploading a photo of your face, ID or even your passport. if anything it’s just making people more unsafe (look what happened with the Tea app which required similar verification (source)). ain’t gonna dox myself to the government/companies and it’s easily circumvented using TOR lol. fuck da system🤘
Yea I know. if they ban VPN’s and block access to the TOR download website I’ve got TOR saved on USB’s and I’ll send a copy to anyone who wants it lmao
Tor is loud and every ISP sees encrypted traffic that screams “I dunno, but it’s tor traffic.”
It’s no free pass when the government is pressuring ISPs to tattle on encrypted traffic.
Be careful y’all. Don’t be calm, but be Fing careful, too.
I can’t remember the term/name anymore, but wasn’t there a way to mask TOR traffic as standard HTTPS?
OBFS4 bridges.
Also the slower snowflake protocol that masks traffic as a video call protocol
Ah, thanks!
make sure to get some bridge adresses too! without bridges, ur ISP can still see that ur using Tor
Done! 👍
Is there a guide or reputable YouTube video that provides instructions/links?
I did it by just clicking the three horizontal lines at the top right corner > settings > search “bridges” > request bridges
My bad, I wasn’t specific. I looking for something comprehensive for non-techies with a desire to be safe on the Webster.
this is a good guide on how to use the browser safely:
