I have been using it for more than a week and now am worried about the consequences that I am not sure are true or not!
I am worried that by allowing random users to surf using my network to prevent surveillance, someone will use my address to do malicious things, and I will get into legal consequences. Also, what if many services blacklist my IP address so eventually I get a lot of restrictions in my browing experience.
Furthermore, will this extension increase my fingerprint?
Are these thoughts valid, or am I just overthinking? If anyone knows, please comment.
Functionally it may be different, but if I'm sat at a table with another user, next to a criminal gun salesman and their customer, the salesman passes me a gun, and I pass the gun to the other user, who then passes it to the customer, am I not just as guilty of facilitating that illegal exchange?
I understand that one could try to make that argument aimed at an ISP or internet infrastructure in general, but in this case the added element is that we are individuals, we know people are often using these services for illicit means, and we still choose to facilitate their use.
Honestly I don't know if I agree with my own argument 100%, but it's something someone could argue, and it's worth some thought before deciding to become a part of that shadowy community. Especially knowing there's a good chance at some point you're a willing link in the chain for criminal activity, even if it probably can't be traced back to you.
Hmm, food for thought I suppose.
I think what you're writing is true, though that is the legal/moral part. If it is technically not possible to identify you, then the risk of legal problems is not there. If
If snowflake just forwards traffic to TOR then you are safe, because to get to you means successfully attacking TOR, which is extremely unlikely.
