Hi Please note my original intent with I started this thread was to create a base set of rules for my users to follow to maximimize tor anonymity and not become a tool against anonymity. So when I started googling I found suggestions from various mailing lists and forums, however I could not find anything specifically suggested by the tor developers or privacy advocate groups like eff. Another vector I was looking at is to send out a set of suggestion to the tor button in setting up warnings to prevent users from using tor incorrectly like. 1. if somebody runs bittorrent traffic send a warning 2. if somebody sends an unencrypted web form through tor send a warning 3. set the always warn unencrypted webpage when tor is enabled. etc that said, I did found this https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en#warning. It forms a general guideline in using tor. It's not as specific as the ones from other forums, but it seems to be inline with that. thanks fernan _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
