yeah running 1 or 2 of your own Tor nodes seems to be pretty ideal. One of which being an exit node. Connecting to that is the move.

providing an obfs4 bridge seems good too

but I really wish there was a docker container for all this, the documentation is all over the place, most of it is just on forums that can only be accessed on Tor and those forums have unreliable uptime, it is really discouraging but it seems like there are some very competent people that are so comfortable doing this that one could just assume they all have this greater level of OPSEC and infrastructure




I possibly misunderstand you, but why would connecting to your own Tor exit node help your anonymity?


your traffic is mixed in with others using your exit node, and you control the data and logging of that exit node


But if they can trace back all the activity pertaining to a case they can show strongly though not conclusively that you were probably the source? Also as long as they can prove that you constructed the setup you also start looking guilty as hell..


varies by jurisdiction, so far us and its states havent made exit node owners responsible for traffic or let that go beyond the doubt


With a solution like https://github.com/jaromil/TorTV one could have much more than a couple of exit nodes.
