>works fine here fam

Thanks m8. Anyone else ?

Questions:

>DataDirectory /var/lib/tor

Isn't that dangerous ?

>AvoidDiskWrites 1

Pretty good.

>HardwareAccel 1

Wouldn't help in the fingerprinting process ?

>ClientOnly 1

Kind of unfair for those who also use tor, no ?

>SafeSocks 1

Good.

>>925484

>ClientOnly 1

It's a default setting. Don't want some brazilian niggers to download cp from my home network

>>925484

>Isn't that dangerous ?

In what way ? ( share what comes to mind if you want, I'm pretty sure I'm ok )

>Wouldn't help in the fingerprinting process ?

Again, same question. I'm not dennying I just don't know anything about this.

>Kind of unfair for those who also use tor, no ?

You are right, I will reconsider.

With the exception of Russia, you've excluded most of the countries where people are operating Tor relays and exits. It's unsurprising that you'll occasionally experience problems.

Also, I find this FVEY snake oil hilarious. FVEY members at least have nominal restrictions on operations in their own countries. They operate with impunity elsewhere. NSA/GCHQ totally pwned Belgium's network infrastructure a while back, for example, but you don't exclude Belgium. Snake oil.

I suspect that routing your traffic through a small set of countries also makes traffic analysis of your traffic easier.

>In what way ?

He probably can't into Unix permissions and thinks you're running Tor as root in order to write to /var/lib/tor.

>removing the countries containing 90% of Tor nodes

Way to fuck yourself over through a segmentation attack.

>>925496

>In what way ?

Isn't putting the Tor browser bundle directly in folders that aren't in a separated partition from root dangerous ?

>Again, same question

The details of this is quite enigmatic I'm not sure to understand it

>If non-zero, try to use built-in (static) crypto hardware acceleration when available. Can not be changed while tor is running. (Default: 0)

So default is zero and putting it to one does.... something ?

I suppose that putting it to 1 enables hardware acceleration but by doing so there might be new data that can be used to fingerprint your hardware.

>>925492

If everyone thought like you Tor wouldn't exist.

>It's unsurprising that you'll occasionally experience problems.

I haven't got any problem in the past year.

>FVEY members at least have nominal restrictions on operations in their own countries.

That's bullshit FBI, GHCQ, DGSI and other acronym agencies are over the law, just at the end/beginning of 2017/2018 in France the DGSI raided tons of Tor server that's why there's only one Entry guard left in France.

>I suspect that routing your traffic through a small set of countries also makes traffic analysis of your traffic easier.

It's a possibility when you are being specifically targeted.

>>925475 (OP)

You forgot to exclude Russia and China.

They are far worse.

>route to nicuaragua and southeast asia instead

>five eyes still MITMs your shit

>half your IPs are listed as random countries but they are actually destined for USA

wow what a surprise. it's almost as if LARPing with DNS and IP addresses is placebo

>China

>worse than Bongland
