I appreciate your value of information you present Thank You ! Please keep on creating these fine quality educational videos.
Thank you Bill Gates
hahaha i thought the same :)
No! Lol
Well, it is kind if insult. :)
Very informative. Thank you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please don't listen to nay-sayers your videos are classroom grade. I really appreciate all the info. If you do anything please bring MORE INFO to the table. Well done! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Way to go Crypto Dad! Finally a video at a speed we can follow with the quality to get things done. Hooray! Don't sweat the small stuff like windows in the way - you gracefully worked around them.
The best video covering tor i could find on TH-cam. Thanks.
Thanks for such a detailed video. Two questions really haunt me . First as you said is the fact that the ISP knows that we are using Tor browser making us suspicious in some manner . Secondly, people at the exit node of Tor will obviously be tracking the information we present like filling out forms etc. ( as you have mentioned in the video).
Yup, good catch, I think we're still compromised along the way. I recently watched a great video suggesting that even if we use some words out of the ordinary 1000 English words that could be a signal to track you down. I think you could minimize that by using a combination of many elements such as Tor, VPN and Tails.
Learned a lot. Keep the videos coming.
I once moved to the Utopia ecosystem and today I don’t worry about any blocking and surveillance. My data will never be passed on to third parties.
10/10 i have taken these precautions prior to this video and still you are such a good eplainer that i had to watch the whole video and enjoyed it ! we need more of these types of videos rather than a 15 yr spending 2minuts on not explaining the whole story keep up the good work !
Hi, I appreciate how you thoroughly explain everything a newbie "must know" about TOR. I am new in TOR, and a big advocate of Privacy and also Safety. Being said that, it concerns me how a great tool like TOR can be taking advantage of by "bad people", if we all using this to avoid our Government spying on everything we do, I hope that everyone will value and preserve the Freedom that software such as TOR offers, of course, the world isn't about that, wouldn't it? Great Job!
Great Family!! I have young ones as well and that is why i'm watching your videos. Trying to learn what i can to protect our privacy. You're helping me out a ton !
Yes I often get accused of exposing my personally identifying information when I do my videos. I'm getting a little better at blurring, but sometimes it's difficult not to expose some things When I'm trying to do demos . Good luck with your family. Stay safe, Do your best to keep your information private and secure.
This is going be more important now then never
Your videos are perfect mate, You cant rush this stuff
Pretty good for beginners. My only recommendation is if you want to take it up a notch, try learning a Linux distribution in a virtualbox until you're comfortable enough to switch over and use it as your main OS. Debian would be the best and simplest in my opinion. You can have much more security by hardening your configurations in sysctrl, iptables, and using access control implementation such as apparmor. Being open sourced, it also has the advantage of being patched much quicker than proprietary software. Also Debian (and most other linux distros) don't collect telemetry data on you like Windows does. Regarding VPNs, in Debian you can configure the OpenVPN and use that instead of a service's built-in app, which will help reduce the possibility of a buggy app or security exploit.
Hello there! Suscribed! I have enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Hey! crypto dad , i love your videos .
How ever long a video is it is.Its a coverage of great dimension. excellent ! Never try to " fit " knowledge in a preselected time length , as for profit " institutions" do . Details are greatly appreciated here ! Thank you 🆒👍😃📘☕
Fantastic - really gave some awesome insights.
Great video. Really very easy to understand you. One question I downloaded it without vpn. And without the signature verification u did . Now I just use it with vpn is that fine ? Or should I uninstall and install your way again ? Or it won't make any difference ? Thanks
Legend, thank you
I have a VPN and Tor but I want a private email address. How do I get this so I can use it to send and receive secret emails and a different address?
Let's clarify something, "best practice" is _not_ to trust anything from the internet (or TH-cam). This guy isn't "wrong" (as long as you download from a reputable site) because most third parties aren't going to go through the hassle of creating a "reputable" certificate (e.g. paying Microsoft to "host" their certificate). I don't understand why this video even mentions certificates because it seems to be a clinic on why certificates shouldn't be trusted.
That is a bit harsh. If Cryptographic signing keys are pointless, why do developers even go to the trouble to provide them? There are more rigorous ways to verify signing keys that are beyond the scope of this video. But the Tor project recommends verifying their installer packages:
www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en
Don't take my word for it, take theirs. After all, they are the ones providing the software. I'm just demonstrating the "how to" for people who are interested.
Yes, certificates are excellent for verifying identity, but they're only as good as the source of the certificate. When developers use them, they go through a trusted Certificate Authority. This is why a browser sometimes gives you a warning that this _isn't_ a trusted certificate (just as your shell gave you the same warning, until you told it not). Anytime you get that warning, unless you know _why_ you're getting that warning you shouldn't proceed (so in this case, you're getting that warning because you know Torr Project didn't bother to register with a Certificate Authority...although I don't understand why they wouldn't).
Hey Rex, Thank you so much!
The VPN provider will have your home ip address. All the steps he talks about (gift cards etc) are pointless with a VPN.
If the VPN company can be subpoenaed then your caught.
It's Only Me not if they have a “no logs” policy (most do)
Nord VPN, based in Panama...TOR Browser.....change your DNS settings in either your router, or on your computer, this way your ISP cannot see where you are going in case your VPN disconnects....proxies....can we talk about proxies?
What about what many persons suggest, starting from Tails USB and then using Tor that is included in it ?
I think you have forgotten just one thing. When you connect to your VPN you do connect to the vps with your own ip address. You have to assume that they do keep logs. So they can track you that way. A solution to this would be to configure tor as a Proxy for the vpn. But for me using a vm which uses the tortilla network adapter works quite well this way you are effectively using a vm which uses tor as vpn. which leaves you with the two problems you have mentioned. But on top of that you can buy a VPS for just a small amount and have your own vpn which you can really trust to not have logs and use that to mask that you are using tor. The good thing about using tortilla is that you dont have to worry too much about screensize and flash since screensize will just return the screensize of your vm and flash is only dangerous because it likes to connect directly but since your using totilla adapter there is no way around tor making it safe to use flash.
These are all great suggestions! Maintaining privacy and anonymity can be quite changing at times.
i heard you shouldn't use a vpn with tor browser because it provides decrypted protection? is that true...
I'm pretty sure downloading and installing an onion browser is easier than this!?
It is much easier if you skip the verification process and just download the installer and run it. Doing verification is complicated, that is why I made this video. The first time I encountered signature files I was mystified. I could not find any straightforward "how to" on the Internet. So I decided to try and present the process to help others.
@@CryptoDad, Hello, I find your videos helpful and informative. Simular to the question above, this could be some what difficult for novice users. Out of interest, why does the program installer have to be verified? Thank you
Also, for sending bitcoin does the Tor installer prevent the reciever from knowing the name of the sender,? I recieved some bitcoin as a gift and want to send it to someone I dont know. Thanks in advance.
I am stuck. the command line doesnt work and cant find the file. i dont know what a gpa is. im just going to install it as i would any browser.
Love the presentation. Do you have updates for 2020 regarding online anonymity and privacy?
"gpg : The term 'gpg' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" got that error
Antifa Hunter, I really like your advanced tips, but tails is very technically challenging and inconvenient to use. Most people can barley install windows on a normal PC hard drive, let alone a standalone version of Linux on a USB. In addition, I have to take issue on your constant implication that I am advising people to do something illegal or avoid law enforcement. I am not. This video demonstrates how to achieve a REASONABLE amount privacy and anonymity in order to avoid tracking and cookies. If you continue to advise my viewers on ways to avoid law enforcement, I will be forced to hide your comments on my channel.
nice tips man!!!
Whats GPA front end??
my best teacher
Thank u Rex, awesome info. Do you have the advanced video about the other non-US VPNs ?
Maximus K,
Check out this website it has links to lots of non-US VPNs
www.privacytools.io/
I like the video ! Will there be a continuation? (asking for a friend... :D )
Yes, I am planning on continuing on this subject in the very near future. I've been distracted by crytpo-currencies lately. 👨💻
Why not use PeerBlock with VPN and TOR, i think that would provide a better experience depending on usage.
Good suggestion for the more technically oriented. I always like Open Source software
But proxy server knows what u do on the internet
1:30 the background makes me dizzy :/
Btw: What is your opinion of NordVPN?? THANKS
I like Nord VPN. Lots of servers. I am currently using it now. I demonstrate it in this video:
How to Set Up a VPN to Improve Your Internet Privacy
th-cam.com/video/KWPlwXCiM6I/w-d-xo.html
At 26:17 you say that, in order to prevent the possibility that the VPN provider reveal your log infos after being subpoena, since you created an account with a gift card paid in cash, the VPN provider really have no identifying information attached to you, EXCEPT YOUR REAL IP ADDRESS when you have connected to the VPN !
Yes the idea would be to create the account from a different computer at a coffee shop to ensure maximum security. Also when using the VPN, You would only connect When you're not at home . That's pretty extreme . In the real world , If you've been targeted they will find you eventually . Creating the account from a gift card though, does make it more difficult for you be identified, but not impossible.
Thanks for the answer.
If anyone can't stand the EDIT: palate-clicking, just turn on the captions and put the video on mute. You can fast forward through it easily as well and still get the info from the captions like this.
I'm not really smacking my lips. I'm sort of clicking my tongue on the roof of my mouth. Most people don't even notice it, much less care about it. But if it really bothers you, then I feel better about it already.
Nah, I put this up for people with misophonia (that percentage that's not most people who 'don't even notice it'. A few of my friends have it and if you know anyone that does, the triggers can irritate them quite a bit. I notice it because I do it to, and naturally hear others do it (which is why I put this up in the comments).
You're a real piece of work. Thanks... I guess.
Your welcome! Thank you for this vid!! It's really helpful
Mr Rex I have a question
How many ways is there for be Anonymous in the web ?
Without Tor and Vpn
Because I hear police cyper can Trace we even use vpn and this story make me upset.
Pleaase cryto dad, what can I do when trying to login an account bind with google authenticator and it keeps saying invalid google authenticator code. After updating the google authenticator app and done series of settings on the app.
How do I download the gpa software? It doesnt have install exe in that gpupg.org. Someone please help me. Thanks
Could you possibly comment about the pros and cons of which order you set up tor and vpn?
thank you
they say that if you download files in tor you lose anonymity, how to download anything without losing anonymity?, if I just use a VPN with tor would work?, What is the best VPN + tor or Tails + tor option?
The tracking cookies on your computer, malware (if you have on your computer), Microsoft 10 embedded tracking software won't use the Tor route .... better use it on tails
Extra tip: Cover your webcam with tape
Then how would you see my beautiful face !?!
@@CryptoDad Your TH-cam videos are plenty ;)
Nise! I use VeePN for confidential work, it is the safest VeePN without trash
Say a log in to my account on a website on the tor browser but I have a vpn is it possible for someone to still get my log in information and real ip?
thank
And what can you say about new items in VPN
for example VeePN
Hi Crypto Daddy
Why don't you just pay for your VPN with a Spoofed CC on privacy.com
thx for showing ur ip at 21:25
Oh course. Why don't you come by and have a beer?
what is the process for Mac?
Why is my Tor is always error
Hey @Rex Kneisley i have a question so i installed the same gpa u have and i put in the key but it says no keys where found? I did notice they updated their key thing from the video but if you could help that would be great!
I believe this is a problem with their keyserver . you're not the only one that's had this issue .
I'm not sure if there's an alternate server you can download the key from. You might try it from the command line . The command would be :
gpg --recv-keys 4E2C6E8793298290
Okay thank you
I guess what I am getting at C-Dad is if I use VPN how hard is it to know who I am vs if I use VPN + TOR?
you can use both
thanks bro
In The setup im from Holland
working
i dont think im that good yet but i will work on it, thank you
Thanks for watching!
honest it was good to try to learn this ,,but what i got out of it was not to down load anything that say click here to down load,,,you lost me on the rest of it ,,something as simple as click here to get the product you turned into a class that i need classes for this class ,just to learn to do the other parts
You'r a fucking genius. Thanks a lot
have you IDM with serial key???
I am just curious about the dark web, not wanting to do anything illegal. Is it legal to go to dark web and does tor take you there? Can this be put on android and iOS? If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Do you have to use a search engine? Sorry I’m new to all this.
try searching for the "hidden wiki" you may find what your looking for. I can't really give you legal advice. It really depends on which country you are in.
I just need a simple answer. I'm using ExpressVPN and want to run TOR through it. What are the steps??
No reply
Thank you very much, very helpful for me. Can you post a video on how to use YT with Tor? I've tried, not able to see any vid at all. I've followed some advice on allowing javascript, but did not work. THANKS again!
There are many websites that reject Tor connections. You just have to experiment. But I'm pretty sure you can watch TH-cam in the Tor Browser. I make that the subject of a new video
Thank you, make your video! No, I've tried and tried, You Tube not watchable with "my" Tor
should i get a separate computer to be a li more anonymous?
A lot of people do. If you have an old machine laying around or want to get a cheap one. There are lots of "open-box" (returned after purchase) deals this time of year
How did you get that Key Manager box to come up??
When you install the Gpg4Win software, you should "tick" the GPA option, in order to have the Key manager box.
Here is the video where I walk you through the installation of Gpg4Win:
th-cam.com/video/F3Cv1Tv_zp4/w-d-xo.html
I like it
PLEASE DO A VIDEO OF HOW TO USE THE BITCOINS AND NOT TO BE TRACED WHEN YOU BIY STUFF PLEASE !!!!
There is an onion version of blockchain.info
blockchainbdgpzk.onion/
you need to run the Tor Browser to access it.
WHATS A GPA FRONT END? GOT LOST AT POINT...
FRANCISCO, GPA front end is a graphical application where you can see a list of your keys and associated information. The backend would be the commandline interface where you have to type commands to see information
Are use GPA at approximately 5:27 in the video
I mean to say that I use GPA at 5:27 in the video
I had the same issue I got lost as well I don't know what is the front end I'm using a mac comp
To be clear I don't know how to pull it out
Hey Rex, how do you set up a cryptocurrency account without compromise your real ID? I'm pretty sure that no matter what precaution you take bu using Tor, bying a gift certificate to pay for a VPN service or installing TAILS, I think government or hackers could still track you down when you do a transaction using cryptocurrency. Do you know what I mean?
A very tricky proposition. If you are worried about your privacy, you might try some of the privacy based coins like Monero or Verge. But there is really no legal way to open up an exchange account without revealing your ID. So you would have to purchase the coins in the open, but after that, you can spend them privately.
Thank you for the reply though, but your valuable video is concentrating on the anonymity issue to the point of buying a gift certificate from Toys R Us, far away from home in order to keep concealing your ID. So I think you're compromised along the way, somewhere between transactions. Just a thought!
If it is purchased in the open, you can NOT spend that privately, it is connected to you anyway.
I love the part in the video where you do the VPN installation routine and the screen is filled with your face instead of what you are doing on the screen. Classic. Maybe... stop doing tutorials.
What is difference in anonymity on tor and vpn? I cant find difference
VPN provide privacy. No one can see what you are doing. But they know it is you. Tor provides Anonymity no one on the other end knows who you are if you use it right.
What is the point of verifying a download with an untrusted key? You just verified from the site you downloaded from, that it was from the site you downloaded from.
That is a bit harsh. If Cryptographic signing keys are pointless, why do developers even go to the trouble to provide them? There are more rigorous ways to verify signing keys that are beyond the scope of this video. But the Tor project recommends verifying their installer packages:
www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en
Don't take my word for it, take theirs. After all, they are the ones providing the software. I'm just demonstrating the "how to" for people who are interested.
Yes, certificates are excellent for verifying identity, but they're only as good as the source of the certificate. When developers use them, they go through a trusted Certificate Authority. This is why a browser sometimes gives you a warning that this isn't a trusted certificate (just as your shell gave you the same warning, until you told it not). Anytime you get that warning, unless you know why you're getting that warning you shouldn't proceed (so in this case, you're getting that warning because you know Torr Project didn't bother to register with a Certificate Authority...although I don't understand why they wouldn't).
Your right. They are not using a certificate authority. They are using public/private key cryptography to sign the code and then making their public signing key available. There are ways to verify that the signatures are valid. the most secure would be to meet the developer in person, and verify his signature fingerprint, but that would be impractical. The next best thing would be a "circle of trust". Here is a relevant discussion of some of the methods for verifying that a a key is valid and not a forgery. (this is concerns GnuPG software the principle is the same)
www.gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html
The current Tor Devs Key 4E2C6E8793298290 isnt found with GNU, I have hit a brick wall :-(
Edit - I was able to grab it using the commands on Tor's page but the valid Sub keys dont match what I have. I really just want to install and hope for the best but then whats the point in any of this
Trainspotter82, so I’m planning on doing a Tor video today and I just tested that key, and it does work. Although it did take a few moments for it to actually download. Perhaps yours timed out? And I’m using the GNU privacy assistant key manager. I’m going to server and choosing retrieve keys and then pasting that key in there. If you notice on the signing page that the developer team has one key but there are also other keys you could try like Mike Perry, Georg Koppen or Nicholas Vigier et Cetera
Yeah Mike's downloaded I just didnt know if I could use it, thanks for getting back to me, will try again, strange it dosent work but mikes doe's, oh well, the joys lol
ps I think I may have downloaded it recently and thats why it cant find it because I already have it? Just a thought and the fact that I cant see it alongside the Debian one I got yesterday means it probably isnt related. I am using GNU, i put 4E2C6E8793298290 into......#..#.....@?@?@?@ I was doing it as I was typing and it worked this time, maybe the server was down or something,Thanks again Crypto Dad :-D
Bill Gates... How do yo do?
Use Tor for watching news. In addition I use VPN. Can’t get into Facebook on Tor tho. Lol
I’m on Apple, it works pretty easy.
It's wise to keep your reading habits private . Really no point in trying to hide when you log into your Facebook account though . But they don't like it when people try to use Tor to view their website that's for sure
how can i make tor faster it is too slow.
@Pj Mack ok, not very satisfying.:)
i just need more lessons
great information, but you do need to streamline your presentation. Real time point and click is bogging down your ability to hold your audiences attention .
With UtopiaP2P, chat with confidence, knowing that your data is safe and secure. This decentralized platform offers unparalleled privacy and security through advanced encryption algorithms and the absence of centralized servers.
Umm... Why are u using WINDOWS??? You're layering an open source encrypted system ... On top of a fundamentally compromised system. If you're compromised at the base level, you're compromised at every level afterward. SMH ...
Anthony Fair, Because 90% of the people who use computers are using Windows. I also have some videos on using Debian Linux for privacy and anonymity, If you’re interested. Check out my channel page
Dude you look like john kramer
Using Micro$oft WinBug$ you will never get privacy. Microsoft Track all.
Tor is just another way to hide while you attempt to hack !
While it is probably a good video it’s too long for me i lost interest and ended up looking at other shorter vids on how to install tor,
Yes I tend to ramble quite a bit on my early videos. Thanks for watching though. You might wanna check out some of my newer videos I've learn how to edit And keep to the point Better now.
Rex Kneisley thanks will do
lmaooooo sa here
like your videos - don't like your background, how about some beautiful nature.
Nice suggestion. I'll look into that!
Tor is crap cos you cant watch videos with it.
You can but why would You want to, it aint for that
Rocket science. Too much wasted time.
What about showing no IP at all. What about Socks 5? More of these videos like seriously man.
