TOR vs. VPN - shimmy568 - 05-03-2013
just wondering whats better i've heard alot about vpns but i've also heard a lot about tor and how secure it is whats the difference and why use one over the other? i know that all your iternet traffic is not routed through tor so that would be one downside but is it possible to route it all through tor or no?

RE: TOR vs. VPN - chmod - 05-04-2013
It is possible by installing tor as a daemon/service and setting programs to run through localhost and correct port (can't remember exactly which port off hand although the real down side to tor is the speed so take this into consideration

Mmmm that is true because tor is routeing through many different nodes and not just one. so I guess when doing high risk tasks use tor but for day to day use VPN. Right?

You can't count the anonymity factor for free VPN's, they all log. If you want premium vpn anonymity then My suggestion is to buy a proper VPN package from a host reseller.

Ok that makes sense should I just Google that or do recommend anything?
