      Jokes on you, cause a lot of alphabet organizations set up entry and exit nodes on Tor so you’re being tracked regardless.

        Most of my Tor activity is on onionsites, so that’s okay.

        Also, even given spooky nodes, the chances of getting a spooky entry and exit node are slim. Still, given the possibility, it is advisable to do spicy clearnet activities away from home with a MAC randomizer as insurance in case you win the world’s worst roulette game.

          I think the big problem I have with tor is that there’s no way to know how compromised the network is. From a three letter agency budget, setting up 30,000 nodes wouldn’t be a big deal, you just have them doing other things.

          Of course, I’m not really doing anything that would draw the ire of a three-letter agency, so even tor is overkill.

          I was also never really big on people running bad s*** through my node. I’ve always felt better using a paid proxy then at least claims not to log, Even if there’s a half decent chance that people are watching their ingress and egress at the ISP level.
