TOR Project Updates

TOR Project making changes from 14.0 – 14.5 that reduces the ability to fingerprint users by removing the OS spoofing feature in the HTTP headers that made every TOR user look like a Windows user making it harder to track or fingerprint specific users.

How I use TOR – On all my computer systems I use WHONIX with Virtualbox for just about every TOR session.
