Yo, I'm looking to harden my setup and need some solid recs. What tools are you guys running to keep your P2P activity completely ghosted? Drop the names below so I can check them out.

I've been digging into Whonix lately and have been really impressed with its Tor integration and hardened setup. Another tool I've been using is JonDo - it's super easy to set up and has some great plugins for Firefox. Tor Browser is another obvious choice but even with a VPN, I like the extra layer it provides.

I'm a big fan of Tor Browser for staying anonymous online, it's a no-brainer but people often overlook it, plus it's free. I also use ProtonMail for encrypted email, the free version is decent for personal use. Just remember to use a VPN whenever you're connecting to public Wi-Fi with Tor or ProtonMail.

I'm a big fan of Tor browser for browsing the dark web, and also use it with my VPN for an extra layer of security. For file transfers, I stick with Rify, it's super reliable and has plenty of decent nodes to choose from. Anyone else using Tails for anonymity?

Gotta give a shoutout to I2P since it’s way more private than Tor for actual P2P traffic. For messaging, Session is a no-brainer with that minimal metadata setup. Stay safe out there.

I2P is solid for anything P2P, way faster than Tor for sure. Also, give Tribler a shot if you're looking for a decentralized torrent client with built-in anonymity.

Gotta shout out I2P, honestly faster and more stable than Tor for heavy P2P traffic. ZeroNet is also fire if you want uncensorable sites that use BitTorrent tech. Definitely stack both if you’re trying to stay off the grid.

Can’t go wrong with Session for comms since it strips all the metadata. If you’re hosting, I2P is miles ahead of Tor for keeping things truly p2p.

I’ve been rocking I2P lately since it’s way faster than Tor for seeding without the exit node risk. For messaging, Session is the move if you don't want to deal with centralized servers.

I'm a big fan of Tor Browser for web browsing and also use Tails OS for a fully encrypted and anonymous desktop experience, it's super slick and easy to use even for non-tech folks. For file sharing, I use Rclone with an Sia storage setup for max security and decentralization, highly recommend checking it out.

Anyone experienced with opportunities?

 

[StatLine]

Gotta shill for I2P here, perfect for keeping your traffic invisible while seeding. If you just need secure comms, Session is clutch since it doesn't tie your ID to a phone number.
