Browser activity and IP addresses are
being logged by government surveillance.

Anonymity is won only by understanding
and using multiple tools like Tor-Browser.

REMINDER: Install HTTPS-Everywhere on your browser, if you haven't already!

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox, Chrome, and Opera extension that encrypts your communications by always trying to redirect any HTTP to a HTTPS version of the same website. That way you won't accidentally access the insecure version of a website, if it has a secure tunnel set up.

This #protip💬 is especially important right now, because https://tilde.camp has HTTPS now! But I haven't managed to set it up to redirect from http to https on the server-side, so it's up to you to remember the httpS, or install HTTPS-Everywhere so you don't have to remember a thing! This means, although the dark forces can see that you're visiting tilde.camp, they won't be able to deduce what exactly you're doing there without great effort, so this makes your browsing much more secure.

Also, another reminder: You can remain almost completely anonymous by using the Tor-Browser! But without the https, the dark forces would still be able to snoop on all your activity on the website, they just wouldn't know WHO was doing it. And if I tried to password-protect any part of the website, they wouldn't know WHO was typing in the password, but they WOULD know what the password is... and be able to gain access themselves... so this is a huge step to a more private experience here on tilde.camp - cheers!
