Cheers

That is a post with links to proxies. ToR is a lot more secure than a standard proxy.

ToR bounces your request through three separate computers before it even reaches the webpages.

@Trogdor54, good infos there, i havent read it fully... But overall it looks fine...

@muaan... I thought the same as you... But no problem with this since this category is for any general topics...

Good job but i dont think people will have that much time to read it or even bothered to since its alot.
Heres a good tip from a standard reader like me
simplify your tutorial and put it into steps like(step1,step2.....)
and put less screen shot since people will think that that ALOT of things to read and cant be bothered to by judging the scroll bar.
Also you should compress some directories into 1. and the start page is one of the most important thing at the start page you should just put the info top and place the directorys at the bottom because when i first accesesd your site i really didnt like it... I thought those stuff were important so wasted my time but at the end it wasnt lol,also at the start it was confusing because i thought where is the tutorial???lol it was hard to find when first accesed to ur site.So its best just direct link to the directory and a short brief explantion at the top of the page

Thanks for your input. I've thought about this myself. I will make the tutorials the main page and make a "about us" page.

I'm not to hot on compressing the tutorials though, the more screenshots, the less confusion.

Yes the more screenies the less confusion but there are some thatss useless like theres a tutorial something about the registry u pasted screenies i thiught it was useless heres a example what you should have done..


Go the the left hand bar and expand local/Hgregistry/MS/endpoint then right click reg2 and type in string value:1 and blaa bla bla..
something liek that when your expaling users about registry stuff and tweaking them you should use this step then screenies and if you miss a screenie in the middle part it would cause more cunfusion
good night its 10.30 here ive got to go to sleep

Yes, I am aware of Xerobank (The Xerobank owner actually gave us advise about setting this site up ) and plan to write an article on them soon. However, no private network can ever be as secure as a public one. You are basically putting all your fish in a barrel as if the government wanted to seize their server they could, and they would find out who you are.

So in summary
To be more secure (against hackers,etc) online use Xerobank
To be more anonymous (against governments) use ToR

Although - ToR too has it's downfalls and you can read about them here; http://forum.blackopsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=34

But it's the best we got.
