Encrypt all the things!

When using Tor, you will be going through the Tor network and your connection will be notably slower so you may want to think about using these add-ons instead.

Same / same, isn't it?

Thanks Mikec
I did install Torbot which gives me the option of using the browser Orweb. It is somewhat slower and enables me to access some sites (such a live stream of tour de france) which I can't access using firefox due to regional restrictions

OK so you are using the network just to mask your IP address. Yeah in that case it will work fine. I use the TOR browser to access the Piratebay in the same way. But you most likely won't be able to access the onion domain on Android Torbot/Orweb without rooting the device first.
But then again, that may not be what you want to do anyway.

I have managed to fuck things up...

I decided to clean my pc of personal information and the stupid software has deleted whatever it was that allowed me to gain access to my KeePass system.

Any suggestions? There was a Lot of my stuff on there that i need but now i cant gain access.

Can you find the kdb / kdbx file anywhere?

Any suggestions?

Clear you head with a nice long ride on your newly built bike.

Not sxure where it would be stored in the first place - suggestions? Ill take a look in its folder, hopefully it only deleted the "route".

If its gone and i fucked it up, whats a better 'safe' than keePass?

I use 1password, been working great for about a year

NSA PRISM all up in your internet type companies, reading your everything...

At least they got themselves a really nice logo

Shit, I really feel sorry for the NSA workers who have to read all this stuff. I know it's a massive privacy scandal but seriously, the idea of reading people's email just sounds like some form of Kafka-esque torture.

I just looked at the list of when Prism plugged into various US sites, and discovered there's something called 'PalTalk'. Sounds like Skype, but as invented in a Douglas Coupland novel.

Agree about that logo. A dancing unicorn would sort it out.

Masses of data, I'd imagine yes, but getting into people's lives through their email is....quite the rabbit hole. I had a mate at uni who was a "securities expert" in his spare time and at times he'd show me these lists or email addresses and passwords, thousands of them. I got sucked in and I remember one email address distinctly. It was a woman from Oklahoma and it was basically her whole life (family names, dates, schedule, events, job moves, doctors apps, even a security code to her friends house) it was unreal. It was at that point where my curiously was piqued and at the same time I tasted a distinct flavour that I was violating something i shouldn't.

I stopped.
The kicker to all of this. The passwords. That particular woman's was password12345

Hmm 'mountain man' tv show was advertised last night at the Cinema. Perhaps it's time to buy land up in the mountains and unplug :)

I've recently set up relakks on my home machine (thanks to whoever recommended it in here).
My question: I can presumably set it up through the vpn settings on my android phone. Will VPN'ing chew up my data allowance, or is there no difference to the data volume consumed

HTTPS Everywhere makes normal web browsing almost unusable in FF. Is there an alternative that doesn't totally grind the thing to a halt?

Greasemonkey? Write your own script with a whitelist / blacklist that changes URLs to https?

"HTTPS, please!"

That's who I use.

I don't use it on my phone, because of phone latency issues.

But I do use it for all home communications (except for SSH which is already encrypted).

My experience shows a few of issues. I can't get connection to them from my girlfriends house (Virgin broadband) but fine from home (BT), you can't access the UK TV services and at least one forum has banned their IP address.

There are probably ways around the above but I have no idea what they would be...
