    Are you saying we all need to install a continually rotating VPN when we’re surfing the internet? As chaff?

      Yeah but I think Tor and…not using big corporate USA internet services to begin with would help.

      Would mullvad VPN have given up that information? Which VPN matters too.

        I was under the impression most Tor exit nodes are suspected of being run by government entities.

        Also, does Tor protect anonymity when browsing the Clear Web, or only while fetching .onions?

          I don’t know enough to know how severe a problem that is. Mainly I just see it as another added layer of obfuscation, nothing is perfect if it connects to the internet.

      If you use a VPN for official or login services, access those services from the same VPN endpoint.

      If you use it for anonymous stuff, go nuts.
