You mean just a relay? Turn on the option in the settings. Open the appropriate port on your router.

Someone needs a hug . . .

: )

>>903089

Seems to work, but later go to relay search at torproject.org, no there.

A day later, still not there.

Tor is botnet, don't install that shit on your phone you will be tracked.

webm sauce/story?

>>903129

What do you use to post here? Is there a way to access 8chinz through I2P or something like that?

>>903159

8chan does not have an I2P side. Your best choice is plain ol VPN.

No, I just start tor myself instead of having some """app""" do it for me.

>>903163

The VPN provider can match the traffic flowing through its nodes, how is it any better than Tor?

>>903088

Memes aside, how about instead of shitposting you educate newfags in order to convert them to be a part of our community? Just an idea.

>>903186

Anyone can start off educating themselves by DDGing the relevant subject or create a thread in respective forums. We have a dedicated tech support sticky as well, it isn't really helpful in regards of rather complex problems but it may come in handy for people like OP.

>VPN provider can match the traffic flowing through its nodes, how is it any better than Tor?

For starters its a private company and not funded by the US of A. Two, you would pay a legit looking company who says that they aren't going to log you and take a look at their past history when responding to court cases against them. Three, all of your information is hidden from your ISP who could be using it against you. Like they don't want torrenting and say they will disable your service. Buying a vpn is basically paying a group of people money so they watch what you do instead of your ISP with the hope they ignore anything/everything you do.

The US government can get track you down, identify your data, MiTM, etc if only they wanted you enough for some reason. Buying drugs is not one of those reasons. Looking up CP is one of those reasons, within reasons. If you make it easy for them to catch you with CP they'll fucking catch you. Otherwise don't expect them to bother much. Buying drugs off of a darknet is nothing special and you don't have anything to worry about if you can rub two braincells together and have opsec.

Now comparing it to Tor....

Tor is a free service, open to a lot of people, has been proven to be easy to find out where someone is by owning nodes and other shit.

Very different from you being an important, paying, customer who votes with their money to just another shazbot who is using a program funded by the government that you're trying to hide from. VPN services care about having customers, if they get a bad rep by selling people out to the feds then they will have less money coming in from people.

The NSA and other government organizations have a ton of server that they can use to de-anon people in Tor. Studies posted all around this place from time to time and you can just google it yourself.

Tor, if anything, is a placebo.

You need to be smart, research shit on your own and stop relying on people to teach you everything. Choose carefully and use the chunk of gray matter between your ears to figure out what software you want to work with based upon your threat model.

>>906746

Stop being a retard who needs spoon-feeding.

>Okay, let's try this again:

Let's not. You should have posted this in the tech support sticky the first time, but you didn't. But you got an answer, anyway. The correct answer. Now if it's not working, the next step would be to post the logs you did set up orbot to log, yes? in the tech support thread.

>Anyone here able to use orbot to set up a tor middle relay correctly?

>On non-rooted phone?

Yes.

Was that helpful?

>Asking for my grandmother . . .

This "SWIM" bullshit is obnoxious. If you're somewhere that running a Tor relay is legal, you don't need to do the "hurr asking for a friend/grandmom/my dog" bullshit. If you're somewhere that running a Tor relay is illegal, "asking for my grandmother" isn't going to keep you from being sent to a labor camp.

>>906758

So much FUD. Lazy FUD, too.

>>906763

Just because it doesn't agree with the view that Tor is the perfect answer to security doesn't mean what they say is incorrect.

>>906773

>Just because it doesn't agree with the view that Tor is the perfect answer to security

Tor is not security software, it's anonymity software. Go learn the difference between security and anonymity before continuing to make asinine comments.

And no serious user of Tor (or the developers) would claim that Tor is the perfect answer to anonymity, either. Nobody here said that it was, and that's not an argument that Mr. FUD was addressing in his vague and largely incorrect litany of the problems he perceives in Tor.

See, you've constructed what's known as a "strawman argument." But you can't even do that right, and you made a fucking hash of it.

Please shut the fuck up until you can manage to be less retarded. At this point, everything you type is a waste of other people's time.

If you don't think you can control your retardation, please do the species a favor and find an appropriate method for ending your lineage at

Thanks.

One wouldn't ignore the possibility of an adversary setting up specialized spying devices on the nodes of VPN services and then sorting those IPs into different regions corresponding to different watchlists.

Sure, there are many genuine users of VPN services like students accessing the internal network of their university. But the general idea is that majority of the paying VPN customers seek anonymity and the VPN provider can correlate credit card information with the actions of their customers. By comparison, anyone can set up a Tor node and use it as a starting point (bridge) to access the rest of the network. Even if all other nodes were compromised (which is unlikely) then you have your bridge masking your real identity from the rest of the network. Unless the adversary participates with the VPS provider, a user is much safer this way.
