To keep yourself protected

1. Do not install any browser addons for Torbrowser for your own safety to keep you protected.
2. Do not go to Youtube or any other similar Video website it will compromise your protection and may allow a attacker to locate you.

3. Every 1-2 days Click the Icon Use a New Identity this will keep you protected and will make it much harder for an attacker to figure out who is using TOR or where you are located.

If you have any questions or want to know more contact me on the forums I am Tdvsko on the forum and I will answer you’re question as soon as possible.

    A few people have asked about this and how to install it. Looks simple enough.

    I read somewhere that you must take care when using this downloading and opening files or something like that can cause probs

  • Tdvsko

    Yes David075 it can reveal data but TOR usually warns before this happens to prevent you doing this.

  • Skean Dhude

    No different from downloading from the Internet generally. That is why there is such an aftermarket in Anti-Virus, Anti-Phishing, etc.
