Well, by default (I'm not sure about the torCP bundle config) privoxy stores cookies and visited URLs. For those who don't know about it, all their anonymity could be destroyed with two files.

I think adblocker and adblocker plus for firefox are WAY easier to use than privoxy. Plus, you can update your list in real time.

Perhaps you can do this: firefox-->privoxy-->SOCKS proxy 1-->SOCKS proxy 2-->tor-->internet This way, even if they could determine "your" ip, they would get the IPs of your proxy which is re-routing encrypted tor traffic.  On 4/28/06, Paul Syverson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Fri, Apr 28, 2006 at

Here's an example where cover traffic is good. If somebody has access to servers and is trying to correlate users to traffic, and some users have cover traffic then those users will ALWAYS show up as the users who are using traffic at the same time and thus it is harder to track them down. On 4/28

I don't think re-routing users through tor is good because: 1. It increases network load 2. They could end up in a very long loop with you as the exit point several times 3. It doesn't increase anonymity (perhaps generating cover traffic would be better) 4. Why don't you have your server fetch some

If you're NATed with a dynamic IP, get a subdomain redirect (dyndys.org?) and just edit the subdomain redirect when your IP changed. Then put the subdomain address in your tor config.
