Would you have any reference to specifics on this? Fine if not ofc, just genuinely curious.(and agree that you're right)
Yes though, I would not recommend using a local machine to browse/etc
E.g. contrived:
Local->VPN->ssh/vnc/etc to a temp box->tor->internet
In this scenario, if the box is found and compromised before it's wiped, the anonymity of the VPN is important.
Regarding using a sim, they can only get rough location from tower usage/signal strength(I wasn't talking about using a burner phone, just the sim+a dongle(careful buying these)). Agreed this can get more granular quite quick, depending on area between neighbors it could be specific enough right away.
Like I said, last resort, shouldn't happen. I should have stated destroy sim after use, don't get lazy and reuse.
>Of course this level of paranoia doesn't really apply to your average web browser.
Agreed heh, hope we have more general awareness/prevention of commercial surveillance as well.
