Yea, in the beginning Tor was slow, now it's not. If you say so it's probably because you haven't been using it for quite long. Anyway I believe that Tor issues are well known now.

Sound interesting, bro. I still use Hotspot Shield. It is still the best to use. :epic:

You can get better anonymity from a VPN easier, but it all depends on the VPN and/or the Tor setup. They can both be used almost equally well, albeit one easier than the other. You should also watch out for public VPN's, I have seen some with legal statements on their service stating that they can sniff your traffic, log it, decrypt it if needed, etc, and by using the service you agree to that. Hell, some of them will even throw you on a botnet, so tread carefully in that direction.

Tor is a browser which gives you anonymity and VPN tunnels your network giving you anonymity.

Which in other words mean that if you use a VPN , your whole computer is protected.
Wrong, Using a VPN (And a Free one) doesn't mean you are Totally protected. Some VPN services log your status and then if any suspecion is detected they report it to the agency, Hence BAAM!
My bad.I meant 'a Good VPN'. But spotflux is free , or at least it was free.

No Problem, My point was that using just a VPN doesn't make you totally safe. BTW Spot flux is a good service but I hate them because they don't have support for Linux

Ask the developer for Linux OS. :Thumbs-Up: I know they would help you. :Smile:
