Hey guys, thought it was high time we had a reality check on our anonymous browsing setups. With all the recent leaks and hacks, I'm starting to wonder if we're being as secure as we think. Anyone else been doing some soul searching on their VPN, Tor, and browser combo?

Dude, I've been running my anon setup on a Raspberry Pi with a VPN and Tor browser for months now, and from what I've gathered, it's as secure as it gets. I've also got a Pi-hole installed to block all those pesky trackers. Anyone else using a similar set up?

Lol, I'm still using my old VPN and Tor combo, been good to me so far. But I gotta say, I've seen some vids on PIA and ExpressVPN - they seem solid. Anyone else got a favorite anon setup?

Dude, I've been running Linux on a VPS with a VPN and Tor for ages, and I gotta say, it's been rock solid. I've made sure to wipe any metadata from my browsing history and use a dedicated anon wallet for all my crypto stuff. Haven't had any issues so far.

Dude, I've been running a decent VPS with a dedicated VPN and Tor browser for ages. Never had a major breach, but always on the lookout for updates and new techniques to stay one step ahead. Anyone else using a similar setup or just relying on a good password and 2FA?

Honestly, I'm pretty paranoid about my anon setup so I've got a few extra measures in place, like using a VPN when connecting to the Tor network and making sure my browser's JavaScript is turned off. Also, I've set up my Tails USB to auto-load in case my primary machine gets compromised. I'm pretty sure that's better than relying on a single device for anon browsing.

I use a mix of VPN, Tor, and a dedicated anon OS on a separate device, but I always double-check my logs to make sure I haven't accidentally leaked any info. Even with proper precautions, I've seen people slip up by using compromised nodes or misconfigured software, so it's always a cat-and-mouse game between security and surveillance. Any other anon enthusiasts share their setup and tips for staying hidden?

I've been using Tor with a dedicated VPN and a Linux distro for my anon setup, and so far it's been rock solid. I've got to say, the more layered you are, the less likely you are to be compromised, but even then, you can't get too complacent - security is a constant cat-and-mouse game. Using a fresh VM for every anon task is also a good habit to get into.
