[@freen1364]

I would use a vm

[@IdfathAbdallah]

The method mentioned last is the least secure, primarily because the servers for these 'computers' are hosted by an unknown entity. Without knowing the host, there's a crucial concern that they could potentially access your login details and identify your location. This absence of information about the server host gives rise to substantial security issues.

On point. Only something booting from a custom BIOS would have been more secure than Tails. He went backwards suggesting you surf using your daily machine - any existing spywares in there can link your identity to keystrokes and even capture screenshots of your activity. Super insecure. No application layer security such as browser, can match the lower layers of security such as Tails which includes custom kernel/OS. Stick with Tails.

Using bridges (integrated in the tor browser settings), you can hide to your ISP that you're using tor. This would probably remove the need to trust a third party VPN.

A disposable qube in Qubes OS would also work fairly well. Use a MAC Address auto-changer in the network or firewall qube plus a VPN and a disposable qube that you temporarily install TOR Browser on... with that, you don't even need to worry about changing the settings in TOR Browser because even if something happens and you get hacked, it's only that disposable qube that is hacked and that gets nuked when you shut down that qube, like it was never there. A disposable qube is a temporary VM that gets created when you want to do something dangerous/risky and nuked when you're done.

Do not use a VPN it is not necessary and Tor actually recommends against it. Tor is really just using a VPN three times over. If you want to obfuscate the fact that you are using Tor, Tor has these special nodes called bridges that do that.

Dude....amazing content!

[@Vormrodo]

Very nice that you've made a clear video about using the Tor Browser properly, Chuck! I hope it will help the endangered ones to access the internet anonymously with circumventing censorship.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

:p Yes, if you go on the dark web, make sure to not use Tor right out the box. I usually use a VPN, disable JavaScript, a MAC changer, and no personal info left there. Most people get caught because they suck at hiding themselves, or use some very sell out VPN (NordVPN is great to use with no-logs, and they got a pretty good track record). Best way is to run stuff on an USB drive, like on Tail OS, that destroys all memory because it never saves it in the first place once the system is shutdown, or a SD card that you can plug into an USB drive adapter to boot from, and maybe use a desktop as service like he showed, Kasm, or something. He didn't mention Qubes OS, what Edward Snowden uses now instead of Tails OS. Running virtual machines are good, too. Really destroying the files would be good, but you have to worry about forensics. You could rewrite the files and then delete them, especially easy with BleachBit on Linux, but you gotta be a little hopeful. Plus, if the law enforcement is after you, you'd need to dispose of that USB. Assuming they don't get you while you're sleeping, or catch you off guard in general. Then, you'd need to store the USB or SD card in your private areas, and hope they don't search that, or store it somewhere where it's ridiculously difficult to find. If you have time, you could flush the device. Maybe they hear the toilet, and then investigate the sewers, but I doubt it. If so, maybe put music on before flushing, and maybe try to burn the USB or SD card before you flush it. He didn't mention some of this stuff in the video.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

:3 Also, I know (he didn't mention) that you could swallow SD cards, especially the special edible ones that they send to North Korea these days instead of DVDs (since the North Korean government turns off the power so that your disc is stuck in the machine, and they can bust you for foreign material). Unless they're going to watch you s*it, if the acids don't destroy it enough, then you should be fine. Lol.

By the way, the level one is good enough in most cases if you enable safest in the Browser. Level 2 only hides you from your ISP but VPN IPs are known so it's just as safe as connecting to the entry T0R node. Level 3 is good if you want to leave no physical trace of your activity at home. It also protects your own data as this is a separate system. Level 3 and 3/4 is just stupid. You don't want to trust anyone...

[@marcomontecino5161]

Great explanation and tutorial. My experience with basic TOR has been that I can't get into many websites, like WP, NYT, and others, because they recognize that I am using TOR and not a common browser they rely on to recognize computers´s digital fingerprint. I wonder if extra levels would allow me to enter such sites and others overseas, particularly with a pay wall restriction with a limit of only one or two articles per month.

[@bynarie]

Bridges?

[@aashd9245]

Use proxies after the exit node. That will make websites stop believing you to be using Tor. Or if it's by the fingerprint, then that is the entire purpose of every privacy feature: to use a standardized fingerprint same for everyone (except OSs like Qubes which are built for damage reduction not prevention)

[@marcomontecino5161]

@@aashd9245 thanks for the tips, unfortunately I've never written proxies, how do you go about it and what types of proxies do you write, is there a website that list some of them.

Disable JavaScript and the paywall will go away. That's probably why you're being blocked from accessing them.

[@fischer-felix]

Cool video, but I have a bit of an issue with the networkchuck cloud browser. It would be trivially easy for the government to figure out, which datacenter you are connecting to, and who operates it. Assuming the datacenter running the kasm instance is in the US (or many other countries for that matter), they could simply subpoena them and watch your virtual computer. It could be cool to have the cloud browser available through an onion site, so you could essentially take two (ore more) hops, kind of as a red herring. You'd use method 3 to get to the cloud browser and then method two from there on out. Tracing back your connection would first land anyone in the cloud browser and not your actual starting point.

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

and i thought snowden was the one that leaked the gov docs proving that the *** has hardware devices inside the data center so they can see wwhatever traffic they want (but it's encrypted). This is still enough for them to see what ip is connecting to what servers.

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

Yea don't use his server. This is level 1. He is just promoting himself! 😮

[@alt511]

You also need to have 100% trust in NetworkChuck. I'm not saying he is untrustworthy (heck, I watch almost all his videos), but it is not open source, and it is his own product. That doesn't meet any minimum security requirement to access anything privately and anonymously. Was liking the video a lot, until he mentioned that this is the "best way" to do that, that is just not true at all, it is basically the most unsafe way to access the dark web :/

[@SOLDAT_MENDES]

That's an interesting point, Adding an onion site for the NetworkChuck Cloud Browser could provide an additional layer of anonymity and make it harder to trace the connection back to the original source. It's definitely something worth considering for enhancing privacy and security.

[@SOLDAT_MENDES]

Yeah, Edward Snowden did reveal the existence of surveillance programs conducted by intelligence agencies, including the monitoring of internet traffic. While encryption can protect the content of the communication, metadata like IP addresses can still provide valuable information. It's a complex issue with implications for privacy and security.@@BrickTamlandOfficial

[@TatiMare0]

Love your content! Only point is that a vpn is really not the best way to connect to tor, the tor project actually discourages this. It's best to use the bridges offered in the connection configuration if you're concerned about your ISP keeping records of your tor usage.

This isn't really true, using TOR attracts unwanted attention. The NSA leaks showed this as they log anyone who is considered "tor curios", and even going to the torproject website will be considered suspicious. A VPN is a lot less suspicious than connecting to TOR is. Also ISP's and governments will know all the IP's of tor-bridges so best bet is to use a VPN.

[@johndurrett3573]

@@liam9b9t93 Really depends on the VPN. Have they ever been used in a court case and provided IP and traffic information which included the consumer data. Sure you may have hidden your activities from your local ISP, but that just moved the point of tracking down to the next node which is the VPN service. What country is that service based in, what are the laws in that country pertaining to police and national agencies that may request or require them to keep logs of all transactions. Gov may even be tapped into the network like they are for mobile calls - you know they actually keep equipment in every datacenter in America which is physically connected to the non encrypted traffic to sniff any and all traffic...storing data for months before even possibly using.. or just sniff for keywords not knowing who they may be listening too..only that you get on radar. As for the Cloud VM solution - same deal - your putting yourself in the hands of a third party which has all the logs and details of your activity , including your home IP. Using clear cache system in a public setting like a coffee shop or near a business that shares its wifi...and maybe consider using an application that hides your system details - internal serial numbers , make and model type etc... If your hardware profile is changing every time and your using public connection points, and your varying those up.. you stand a far better chance at remaining anonymous.

One setup I would use above all of those is Kodachi instead of Tails and setup multiple VPNs. You need really fast internet for that because it will reduce it to 1% of the original speed. I would also run custom TOR profile

Make sure to run the command macchanger to change your Mac address after booting from the usb before connecting, if using a public internet connection (Starbucks, library, etc.) So your real Mac address doesn't show up in their router logs, tracing the connection back to your computer.

Tails runs off the RAM once its booted. If you're worried about your hard drive, remove it before you use tails. If you're worried about devices on your network, use public WiFi

Would using a VM like in your Kali Linux tutorial video achieve the same effect as level 3 in this video? Or does it make a difference when you boot from a separate drive entirely?

A big No. Your traffic still pass your real OS and can be have some vulnerable or leaking metadata.

If you have to ask these questions, you probably shouldn't look for these sites 😅

[@kris_wk]

For sure this. I find it much harder to surf the dark web vs clear web.. Though if I’m honest, I haven’t really looked into it much.

[@satanicllamaplaza]

Here’s a piece of advice for y’all. If the site is listed as a picture board. Don’t click it. Don’t care if it’s the most innocent sounding picture board name ever “heavens golden picture board” don’t click it. No picture boards for you.

[@SOLDAT_MENDES]

1. Finding non-indexed onion sites in onion search engines can be challenging as they are intentionally hidden. It's best to network with trusted individuals or communities within the dark web to discover these hidden sites. 2. Exploring the deep web requires using tools like Tor and Tails to access hidden services. However, accessing hidden IPs directly is not recommended as it can be risky and potentially illegal. It's important to prioritize privacy and security while navigating the deep web.

[@SOLDAT_MENDES]

good advice, It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to clicking on unfamiliar websites, especially if they have questionable names or reputations. Stay safe and avoid those picture boards.@@satanicllamaplaza

Using a VPN before entering TOR is less secure than just accessing TOR directly unless you can absolutely guarantee the safety of your VPN provider (you probably can't).

[@kurtisjackson5759]

Tor Project does not recommend using tor with a vpn. Actually they recommend against it.Your entry node knowing the ip of the the machine started the get request is not a security concern due to the onion layers in the network. Now if the exit node knew this info then you would have a potential problem.

[@fallenkeith5885]

There's no mention of Tails OS or other safeguards in the video either. And the cloud computing thing is just a privacy disaster. If you're doing anything questionable, you should NEVER use a machine that you have no control of. Even if a company says they won't log, unless it's proven in court and you have actual functional unquestionable proof, then there's really no point in trusting a 3rd party.

@@rammix1 I wouldn't risk running a VM on my personal machine. An old used laptop is much safer. If you want to double condom, you can use a VM inside the old laptop. But you have to be running a dark net market or something for that level of paranoia and security.
