TOR vs VPN | WHICH TO USE


Tor & VPN described as often conflated
-- but Tor & VPN are different
-- which is more suitable depends on context


Essentially:

Tor:  for activists & 'secret squirrels' / not for video downloads
[caution:  not bullet-proof]
vs
VPN:  for (not vital) everyday anonymity / good for downloads


VPNs

-- take connection
-- encrypt connection
-- pass connection through server
-- contact goes via VPN server to connection site sought
-- ie:  it provides encryption & diversion of your online traffic



A.
    -- what you are doing & who you are connecting with not visible
    -- eg. public wifi:  those watching get jumbled info sent to random server
    -- same applies to Internet Service Provider (ISP)


B. -- site visited does not know your geolocation (privacy enhanced)
    -- this permits by-passing geographic restrictions on services

Note:

* what you do through VPN is know by operator of the VPN
* VPN services claim not to log activity


 but this is only a representation that may be dishonoured

* eg. if VPN provider is issued with a court order for info on your activities
* VPN provider would likely find some way to link your activity back to you
* So:  VPN = good for low risk situations
* BUT not so good for anonymity against a state actor


Tor Browser
-- works differently
-- instead of connecting directly to server
-- your connection is encrypted, bounced around x3 servers ('relays' or 'nodes')
-- before being decrypted & sent to destination
-- FIRST SERVER - knows your location
-- SECOND SERVER - only knows data from FIRST SERVER
-- THIRD SERVER - only knows that data from SECOND SERVER
-- anonymity is provided as the third server cannot know origin of data

-- majority of Tor servers not 'malicious' (do not log activity)
-- nearly impossible to associate end-data of chain to origin
-- very effective / takes significant state actor effort to de-anonymise

-- bonus:  encryption by Tor to prevent - eg. ISP from seeing your traffic
-- caution:  decryption at last server ('exit relay')  = point of vulnerability
-- it is at this point your data can be spied upon
-- therefore regular HTTP unencrypted connection relay of data (a no-no)
-- can be read in its entirety at the exit relay by the operator of the exit relay
-- however, using an add-on like HTTPS-Everywhere
-- equals safely encrypted data

-- with HTTPS even malicious server could not de-anonymise
    * unless content contains personal info (email, name, address, etc)

 

COMMENT:
I'm confused.  If HTTPS is supposed to be an encryption add-on
-- how can a malicious server de-anonymise if personal data is included
-- if encryption is supposed to be in place?
-- makes no sense to me:  that's not encryption


TOR - HIGHER SECURITY PRIVACY BROWSING
ANONYMITY vs SPEED

-- much slower than VPN
-- but far better re anonymity
-- avoid watching videos or downloading torrents
-- bad for entire network & extremely slow

-- best for high level anonymity needs
-- eg. high threat levels = law enforcement scenarios
-- journalists dealing w. sensitive sources, whistleblowers, political activists
-- those living under oppressive state surveillance etc

[comment:  all of us under US empire mass surveillance oppression ... LOL]
-- use Tor if adversary is "more dangerous than a DMCA complaint" (copyright)
-- promises provided by VPN companies = not enough. Use Tor.
-- *do not treat Tor as if it were bullet-proof
-- with enough time, de-anonymization is possible by agencies such eg. NSA
-- using Tor = best bet, unless you are an NSA high-value target
-- using tor for low bandwidth static sites helps 'populate' the Tor traffic
-- & providing cover for those who need Tor for vital reasons
-- note:  Tor is only an ANONYMITY TOOL

-- without operational security (see OPSEC), anonymity tools rendered useless
-- watch bad habits - can reveal ID to the motivated adversary

-- keep torrenting to VPN

-- VPN - EVERYDAY BROWSING PRIVACY
-- VPN good for low-risk/bandwidth-heavy purposes
-- VPN's are good for VIDEOS & TORRENTS task


OPSEC
-- operational security

The Grugq
-- teach operational security (OPSEC)
-- ie good security habits
