What is not secure about useing TOR?

Well, the nodes that are used in TOR, are from volunteers, as in people you don't know, who can take a look at your data. Because when the data leaves the TOR network, it is not encrypted. Also there has been a number of vulnerabilities presented in the network.

Hmmm port knocking seems to be a pretty good solution.

PS: Using QUOTE for an ENTIRE message or when you quote the guy just before you is pointless...

quote is use to quote small part or someone that has post a long time ago... you can always use @Nickname to answer someone fast.

Well... thanks Cats, I appriciate your honest answer. I did not know TOR was that vunerable. So how do other TOR users look at your traffic, with a sniffer perhaps wireshark or etherreal?

Don't know, but I guess it would be something along those lines
