A VPN is also useful on unencrypted public WiFi. I have seen nothing suggesting Tor would suffice there so far.
-
@thatbrickster I'm fairly certain Tor would handle that correctly (the traffic goin through Tor anyway, obviously if you have some program sending shit in the clear that wouldn't be protected).
-
@ayy I've not seen any documentation, etc. that suggests that. SSL/TLS traffic is a must but the part before all of that is important too.
-
@thatbrickster Tor operates like this (when accessing clearnet):
user - first tor node - middle tor node - exit node - server.
Tor assumes that any single tor node, or any single path between computers on the path can be compromised (but not more than one). In the event of such an attack, the attacker can learn of the traffic, or of the users identity. But not both of those things.
-
@ayy The important bit is the part between user and AP. Tor can only protect the data once it reaches the entry node.
-
@thatbrickster nah it's encrypted
