So you say you want to go "Stealthy" on the Internet. You think have installed the TOR Browser along with a VPN service and think you are set... hmmmmmmmm, not just yet. There's a world of very very sophisticated info hob-goblins out there. I recently read an article @ https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en that describe some of the challenges to staying "Anonymous" on the Internet.

Well, technology can only do so much-Some say about 90% of the way. There is a way to close that following 10% and part of it is, learning some new habits while surfing the Internet, signing up for the latest newsletter from your favorite website, in the end, you will have given them your current IP & mac address and much more, if your browser is full screen <maximized> mode, there is a doohickey called html-canvas call; It sends your screen size and brand to the website, It also will reflect your serial number of your cpu and more. Besides the TOR Browser and a good VPN you should try out TAILS<https://tails.boum.org>Tails is a live operating system that you can start on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card. When you're done, you remove the USB and all the data from your previous session is wiped. Just suffice it to say, once you think you're safe, you're probably not as anonymous as you'd like to think. Anonymity on the Internet is a "thinking" person's game. Never ever get complacent.
