2014-06-26 Thread Bobby Brewster
Hello, I know that when the TBB connects to a 'normal' .com or .org or whatever address then the DNS resolution is done by the exit node.  There is no need anymore (not for several years now) for the client to set-up DNS manually (as used to be the case with Polipo or Privoxy). However, how do

What are the benefits of running TBB in a VM? AIUI, there are two advantages. 1. If malware infects the VM, then just the VM is compromised. If your Windows/Mac/Linux system is infected, then your entire system is affected (yes, I realise that it should be only the user account for Linux
