Tor users increasingly treated like second-class Web citizens

Except in the worst places, using VPNs isn't all that unusual. So use Tor through VPNs.

If VPNs aren't workable, then maybe you're stuck with something like http://www.wired.com/2016/04/ingenious-way-iranians-using-satellite-tv-beam-banned-data/

 

That's pretty cool. It's a pretty clever use of common satellite TV technology. Almost any satellite receiver available these days can record programing to a USB drive.

 

Yes, but damn, to be reduced to excerpts of the Internet But it's better than nothing, I guess.

 

I haven't used Whonix for a while. But when you update, like with apt-get update, you need to verify all of these updates? I didn't know that was a problem. I'm getting ready to install it again so I guess I need to find a tutorial. Thanks for mentioning this. I had never even considered that this could be a problem.

 

This is so sad.

 

No, there's no need to verify the apt-get stuff. Verification is built in. But it is prudent to verify the Whonix VM downloads.

 

Agreed.

 

Thanks for that clarification.
