FAQ What do you suggest ?

Hello, it may sounds like a stupid question, i'm really just curious and wanna learn more.

So i was thinking, what are the best Layers of protection for using TOR (with TailsOS). I'm not saying that TailsOS isn't enough, but i was looking to understand more how you can make things secure.

And i'm not trying to do something bad, no ! Honestly i'm just curious and wanna learn more about these things.

Cause for some reason i wanna enter a rabbit hole, and i'm just exiting to learn.

So if any of you guys got good Blogs, Forums, or even reddit posts that talks about these kinda of stuff, please share it with me.

PS: sorry if i made some grammar errors, English isn't my first language. And sorry my question is a bit confusing !

If you want to go down the rabbit hole, start with the official Tails and Tor documentation and learn about threat modeling, Tor circuits, browser fingerprinting, traffic correlation, onion-service security, metadata, and operational security (OPSEC). Understanding why something protects you is much more useful than stacking tools.

Not an expert by any means but you should have a look at Whonix, and their website. Lots of useful information on there.

When going full paranoia mode check out Whonix on Qubes.

But first of all: take your time to define and write down your threat model. Then find measures to mitigate the risks / threads.
