1. Don't use your mobile phone for two-step verification on Tor.
Most websites provide two-step verification using a mobile number, in which an OTP (One Time Password) is sent to your mobile number, allowing you to securely log in to your account. You should be careful when using the TOR browser to access your account.
2. Don't post your personal information (pretty obvious, but still).
You should take this point to heart, do not post personal information such as name, address, birthday, credit card number when using TOR. This will reveal your identity, and there will be no point in using TOR, hope you understand this.
3. Don't use TOR with Windows.
Microsoft's Windows is the most used desktop operating system in the world, but it seems to be unsuitable if you want to use the TOR browser. Credits are packed due to vulnerabilities existing in the operating system and can reveal your identity, even if you use TOR to access the internet.
Linux systems will serve you well for this purpose. Linux distributions such as Tails and Whonix are pre-configured with TOR. You can configure it manually on any distribution you like.
4. Don't use user accounts outside of TOR
. If you use the TOR browser to check your Facebook, Twitter, or email accounts, never use these accounts outside of the TOR browser, as it will expose your online information to the website. Almost every website on the web now logs information such as your login and logout times, your location, your IP address, and other data. Using your account on the open internet even once will be enough to log your IP address and, ultimately, reveal your identity.
5. Don't use TOR for Google Search.
If you want to remain anonymous when using TOR, don't use Google to search for your queries. While this sounds strange, it's because Google collects information such as your search queries, stores cookies on your computer, and tracks your browsing habits to power its advertising services.
You don't want to reveal that, do you? Therefore, you can use other search engines, such as DuckDuckGo and StartPage, since they don't log your IP address or any other activity. In fact, there have been cases where Google worked correctly with Tor. They may display an error message or how you can solve a captcha. This is because people accessing Google through Tor become suspicious.
6. Don't use an HTTP site on TOR.
You know very well that TOR can be exploited by exploiting vulnerabilities in its exit nodes. Therefore, if you access HTTP sites using TOR, there is a chance that someone could access your information while it is on the endpoints. Data transferred to and from an HTTP site is unencrypted and can be viewed on the endpoints, since TOR only encrypts the connection within its network.
You can prevent such situations by using HTTPS sites. They use end-to-end encryption protocols such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security). This way, all your data remains safe, even when it's outside the TOR network.
7. Don't connect to the same server simultaneously with and without TOR .
Here's one important thing to keep in mind: If you're accessing a specific remote server using TOR (anonymously), don't access the same server outside the TOR network (non-anonymously), as this could expose your real identity. This is because if your internet connection is down, both your connections will be terminated at the same time, making it easy for someone spying on you to connect the pieces and complete the puzzle.
Furthermore, the web server may try to correlate the two connections, increasing or decreasing the speed on one of your TOR or non-TOR connections to see if the speed on the other changes, and thus tracking your real IP address.
In conclusion, I wish you good luck and proper use of the TOP browser.
