Re: "Is anyone using Gemini over Tor?"

In: s/privacy

If you use Windows you can install tallow.exe and then start surfing Geminispace via Tor.

@pollux -- no direspect intended, but you care about privacy and use WIndows? I'd assumed the two were mutually exclusive!

@stack Well, I use Linux as well, but tallow.exe routes all your traffic from Windows through Tor, without any socat etc. configuration, one would usually do under Linux.

Sometimes. when I'm on my computer, I do, but not when I'm lurking from mobile. I'm not really worried about privacy on gemini since there isn't nearly as much tracking as on the web. But I still like to use Tor for it just so I'm contributing traffic to the network.

pollux, maemo leste has this great tor button, you just install it and click it, and all the traffic gets routed via tor.

@stack I access gemini via Tor via Whonix exclusively. I highly recommend everyone try Qubes, which comes with Whonix pre-installed. I have a separate Gemini virtual machine, which keeps everything nice and sparkling clean.

Gemini is very good over Tor since there isn't much to it. Very light weight. So pages load fine.

I just installed Whonix in VirtualBox, under Windows and Lagrange is working fine.

@tomasino apparently setup tilde.black and cosmic.voyage to serve over tor
