Top products from r/TOR

I highly recommend a book/ebook entitled Bitcoin for Dummies. It is a great reference for those just starting out. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Dummies-Prypto-ebook/dp/B01DAWQOEU#nav-subnav Good luck and Stay safe!

You're Welcome.
A system-wide tor proxy? Hmmmm...

Easiest way is to buy one of these mini routers for $25 and then flash it with the Tor Firmware they provide on the GL-NET website.

https://www.amazon.com/GL-AR150-Converter-Pre-installed-Performance-Programmable/dp/B015CYDVG8

Then you will have a Tor wifi and Tor Ethernet Port at the flip of a little switch.

Other then that, it IS possible to use Whonix Gateway and a Windows Virtual Machine with Softether VPN installed to share that connection to a vpn capable router.

And you could even pop up a Wireshark on that Windows box to monitor your traffic.

But its all depending on what you have for hardware.. I have a few PC's and many routers so anything can be networked out.

Hell, It could all be done with Linux. There is really a million ways. And each one, of course, "chipping away" or "adding" to your privacy. Depending on who you talk too. Lol

Once you are familiar with the software I provided you can do tons of different combinations.

Softether VPN (Vpngate) has some really powerful and complex networking features.

I'm working on some videos ....

Good Luck!

https://ssd.eff.org is a good place to start.


If you're willing to use the command line, you can do all sorts of things with encryption and see the results for yourself. I like this book for practice:
http://www.amazon.com/Simple-Steps-Data-Encryption-Practical/dp/0124114830


"The Code Book" by Simon Singh and "Cryptography: A Very Short Introduction" are also interesting. The history of secure communication is fascinating even if you don't want to apply it.


If you want to go even deeper into evaluating security, then
"Threat Modeling: Designing for Security" by Adam Shostack is an approachable guide.

I'm not the most advanced individual on the sub but I got alot of decent info from this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Tor-Dark-Art-Anonymity-Invisible-ebook/dp/B00XRZW8F0

The author goes into a decent amount of detail on the various methods of protecting privacy and anonymity on the web. He also covers and debunks a lot of the arguments against protecting your anonymity and covers which tools are best for various threat models, and even discusses why he got into this stuff to begin with. If you are just starting, and don't mind reading a literal book on the topic, it is pretty good.

If you are amenable to a hardware solution, you can always set up a transparent proxy on a Raspberry Pi with my script here:

All you would need hardware wise is:

Raspberry Pi: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DG9D6IK?psc=1

SD Card: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Frustration-Free-Packaging--SDSDX-008G-AFFP/dp/B007M54DYA/

USB Ethernet Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/IO-Crest-SY-ADA24024-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B0061ZFWFQ

Total: $73.32

Does the wifi card work with any linux?

I had a similar issue. The wifi card I had would not work with most linux. I purchased this USB wifi, ASUS (USB-N13). Worked like a champ out of the box. No extra drivers needed.

does anyone use this one https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Wireless-Adapter-Dongle/dp/B00GFAN498/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00GFAN498&pd_rd_r=EKEDZP0M9QJES3SSG6H7&pd_rd_w=8qt0N&pd_rd_wg=rB4NH&psc=1&refRID=EKEDZP0M9QJES3SSG6H7

if so please share your experience

I was looking at getting this laptop

Dell Inspiron

The "web" isn't a static thing - it changes all of the time, and sometimes the act of searching for something makes it appear or disappear, and sometimes the answer is different depending on who's asking.

"Google only shows less than a quarter of the actual results" is a little difficult to understand out of context - it could be that Google thinks that a simple word search (e.g., every page containing "dog") is going to return results that are too broad or overwhelming to be useful. Or it could be referring to the fact that a lot of the content that's on the Internet is behind paywalls, or is in databases that need to be queried before the data is presented. Also, if a page isn't directly submitted to a search engine, and it's not otherwise available (perhaps as links from a page that is already in the search engine), it won't show up in indexes because nobody knows it's there.

It sounds like your problem isn't that you don't have access to enough information, it sounds like your problem is that you're unable to search in a way that produces the results you want.

This book might nudge you in the right direction re learning how to get the most out of Google:

2016 Acer Aspire 15.6-inch Premium High Performance Laptop, Intel Celeron Dual-Core Processor up to 2.48GHz, 4GB Memory, 500GB HDD, HDMI ,DVD, 802.11AC Wifi, Windows 10,Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I7EWQTI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fkKkzb4ZQ85WD

You can get more bang for your buck here. Don't buy cloudbooks/chromebooks. You can get on TOR, but sending data to cloud creates a hole AND installing other OSs gets complicated without HDD/SSD. Buy a regular laptop. As much as I HATE Groupon, check there if you're really strapped.
