Your safest option, if you must use WhatsApp, is to use it in an Android VM, running on a small tablet, which uses WiFi for connectivity. You can lease real mobile SIMs from sites like https://speedyverify.com/ and do it ~anonymously using well-mixed Bitcoin. I don't know whether WhatsApp absolutely requires UDP. If it does, then using Tor would be difficult. You'd probably need to route a TCP-based VPN service through it. Or instead, you could just use a VPN service, or better, a nested VPN chain. I could offer more information if you like. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
