Tor and vm's
Hello all! That's my first post here and I have some few questions about navigation with tor network:
1) Is it safe to use it to access mainstream websites such as facebook, google and so on? I mean, they will probably know by there that we are using tor. And they can of course send out this info to someone else? But the ISP wouldn't have the logs right?
2) Is it safe for banking and shopping? I am sure that using, for example Chrome browser will give you away and you'll also have all your purchases and everything logged. When on tor network...
3) Now, connected to what I said above on 2. When it comes to linux systems configuration of the network to use tor on firefox! What about mozilla? I don't really know if it is intelligent to trust them 100%.
4) VMWare: I use at the actual moment, the linux OS's only inside a vmware machine. As vmware asks for registration I am very keen to believe it's not that safe to do our navigation even inside tor from there. Do you know if they (vmware systems) can know you navigation even inside tor? (of course they could have some print screen system easily...) And even if a vm software doesn't require registration I am not sure it would be really safe to use vm's on Windows OS. Not completely. For example, Win 8 has more of your personal data than previous systems. In this way it is possible that other softwares are checking those details out. Also your antivirus software can know probably everything you do online (at list on a browser I know they can (and they even can see inside a vm)) Comments on those?
I hope you don't find it boring to read so much and we can have some prolific discussion here because I do have a lot to learn...
I appreciate any responses and comments. As this is my first steps here, if there is something wrong with the post. Please someone, an admin... just let me know.
Also, I am not sure right now if the forum accept this kind of discussion (as I saw messages about commands and stuff like that). If not, please tell me why so I just will ask really what the forums here are about. Another thing, if not can you please tell me what forums I can discuss things like so?
Thanks a lot!
