    Don’t forget to donate to Tor Project and/or a relay operator if you use it, even $1 covers like several TB of traffic.

    We did the year of Linux. Let’s make this the year of Tor.

      Real talk though, Tor for porn would be an awful experience and would slow down the entire Tor network. Tor is slow to begin with, and downloading large files (like videos) only slows things down even more for everyone. It should be a last resort, not the first thing people flock to. It’s the same reason people avoid torrenting over Tor; It’s slow and inefficient, so your downloads take fucking forever.

        You use Tor to pop out in any other more enlightened country where you use bitcoin or some other crypto to purchase access to a good vpn and download the installer.

        Then download TBs of porn through your shiny new vpn subscription rather than bogging down the onion network

        Tor project has many retorts but imo, the easiest way to improve it is just use it, even without donating. If literally everyone used it at all costs, websites would be forced to support traffic from it and blacklisting relays would kill the whole internet, e.g. $$$$. Without these issues, it would probably be much easier to host a relay, or even embed relay hosting in the browser by default. ISPs would be forced to open incoming ports, and firewalls would include it. Then it wouldn’t be slow or limited.

          A VPS is one of the best tools on the internet. Make your own relay, with or without blackjack and/or hookers.
