Title says it all. I'll go first:

I don't really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

I thought it was regarded as a dick move to put a lot of traffic through tor?

I hear such mixed messages about this and would love for somebody to educate me. Do we:

  • Avoid using tor to free it up for those who actually need it

  • Use tor whenever, and normalise it so that somebody using tor isn't immediately considered to be a journalist/dissident/person with something to hide.
