Personally, I think everyone should do this immediately, if you have not done this already.


For this reason, I do not think that using Tor is for every day, all day, surfing the Internet, but rather for those special times, when your doing something on the Internet that requires more security and anonymity.Īnyone can make their system more secure and more anonymous, using any browser to surf the Internet, by:ġ.) Changing your Local ISP connection's DNS server IP addresses to a neutral, secure, & anonymous, DNS provider's server IP addresses, like from the "openNic project", or "dns.watch", or "openDNS", etc. Of course, you can be more specific when asking in your search to get the correct results. If you are trying to locate something in your area, like a restaurant or whatever, your results are going to show wherever your Tor connections are at the moment which means if you are in the USA, your results could be some place in Europe or elsewhere in the world. So, your search results, and other websites, will reflect that, which is not necessarily a good thing. Like user "trapperjohn" stated, it may appear that you are anywhere in the world, maybe in a different language, rather than where you are. The "Tor Browser Bundle" is great, but as others have mentioned, you do not have any idea where your current Tor server connection might be from, what country, nor do I think you can control that, and that can skew your web browser results. IMHO, it is just smart to try and be as secure and anonymous while surfing the Internet as you can be.
