Question How do you guys get on the darknet?

[OperationHasj]

Todays question is :

How do you get on the darknet on the safest way (We still paranoia even we have tails)
and if its a better way we change our way of logging in

 

[The-Hive]

Use VPN and tor browser

 

[OperationHasj]

Tor automatically is installed on Tails operation system, and Tails don't work with VPN unless in a few situations, i show you why :

Can I use Tails with a VPN?​

Currently, Tails does not work with VPNs.

Tor provides anonymity by making it impossible for a single point in the network to know both the origin and destination of a connection.

Unlike Tor, VPNs don't provide strong anonymity because the VPN provider can see both where you are connecting from and where you are connecting to.

But VPNs have clear benefits over Tor in some situations where strong anonymity is not needed, for example:

• To access websites that block Tor or can only be accessed from a given country
• To use videoconferencing tools like Jitsi or Zoom
• To access private VPN services like intranets or share folders
• To browse the Internet at higher speeds than Tor

We are now considering adding VPN support to Tails, either:

• By adding another browser that would use a VPN instead of Tor. (#19465 or #19942)
• By giving the option to use a VPN instead of Tor for the whole system and still having Tor Browser to use Tor only (#19901)

For more information, see our blueprint on VPN support.

Dont need to use tails on vpn. It is enough to use vpn over tor network. Just run the vpn on data source device after connecting to tor. Working quite fast but i think it depends on data operator.

What r u exactly afraid off?

 

[OperationHasj]

not afraid of nothing but rather a step a head than a step to late

 

[Interpol]

Use VPN, spoof MAC Adress use TOR and use a VM and u would be pretty safe.
U still wouldnt be 1000% safe but its not necessary to be that good protected if u sell some drugs on the darknet.

 

[OperationHasj]

No indeed we don't sell harmfull or suicide products, we already use TOR
We add spoof mac adress and vpn on our list thank you guys for replying
(is vm easy to set up?)

 

[Interpol]

VM is very easy to use, if u use windows i can send u something "be invisible with windows" there is everything u need.
U really need to use veracrypt on ur VM.

 

[Ricardo10]

you better not be paranoid about this subject. If the police or a hacker wants to know about your location and information about you in 98% of cases they will find out.

 

[OperationHasj]

yeah, that is true we only want to have some safety just in case

Tor is the the way to do it. Just go to torproject.org, they give you all the info to set it up. I have heard mixed things about using a VPN. TorProjects view is not to do it unless you know what you are doing. If you choose to get a VPN use a paid one. I use Mullvad. I would also be familiar with PGP as well.

After you are up and running just be careful with the link aggregators you use. I like daunt.link.

If you are just exploring you could also check out I2P along with Tor. I2P is a little harder to set up but not bad
