@gameplayer @atomicpoet it's not that simple.

  • Shure the average cybercriminal can use some hijacked routers and desktops as a proxy for their carding fraud but that doesn't scale with huge amounts of traffic and ISPs do combat proxy use by explicitly checking traffic for it and banning such setups as per ToS.

In fact, many ISPs will forcibly disconnect customers if they detect they run an open proxy or tor exit node.

@tasket I don't say @tor#Tor is perfect - far from it.

BUT an #OnionService is way easier to conceal, shield and secure than a #SurfaceWeb site.

  • Also the main disadvantage of Tor is speed and the fact that @torproject publishes their #ExitNodes, so blocking Tor users is too easy.

Needless to say that there may be different scenarios and it takes individual assessment of needs, capabilities and #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec to the point that I think it's important to teach people to make that decision instead of blanket VPN shilling...
