Previously the German Police broke the TOR network, according to reports in the web which could be found about two years ago.
And according to the information wich can be found in the web, the TOR network should be save again. But this seems not to be the case in my case in the City of Zurich.
When I Use Mullvad VPN, cars from the Netherlands cross my way when I choose Brussels as my location with the Mullvad VPN app

And when I use Australia as my location, cars from Australia park near my house.

And if i use the TOR network, my neigbour but a a plate of onions in front of the apartment door

I am part of a Police investation at least since mit 2025. But I am not a criminal, and I am not a terrorist as well. And I did not ask the City Police of Zurich either to ask for help.
And I don t know if I ever will do this. Since I eventually let it be like this. And I will eventually join the community of critics about this mass surveillance. And I eventually will invite friends to hack my internet connection, too. And I invite those what they can find out about me.
One neigbour has but a box of a down duved in front of the door of her appartement, when I was looking for a down duved in the web:

And as far as I know it is possible to get the .url on this way, but not much more.
Since the internet traffic is generally encryptet. But it seems also possible to know when I get active and use my internet connection. Since all neigbhour who participate in this Police work program by the City Police of Zurich knock on the wall or similar to let me know that they know that I am using the internet right know.
And this gave quiet a shock to me.

And since I am not a criminal, and not a terrorist either, this case will not become more public than it is right now. So I suppose it will not have any consequences at all.
But I suppose we will have some new bad knews in the future about the TOR network, until it is save again also for people like me. People who are the object of an investigation by the Police, but did not decide to go to the Police up to the present day. And It is not clear if I ever will do this. I eventually will rather try to make my internet habbits saver and saver. Without asking the Police for help.
And eventually we will have some scandals about internet security sooner or later, if it continues like in my case. And that could give a break-through for the TOR network. So that more and more people become interested in it, just like me.
And so that more people like me ar ready to build their own TOR relays at home:
I am currently desperately searching for a solution which does not require to ask the City Police of Zurich for help.
I used the Whonix operation system for some tests. But with that my neighbour reacted similar to when I uses Mullvad VPN.
So I suppose I am de de-anonymised by the City Police of Zurich. And this although I am neither a criminal nor a terrorist.
And is this not something which TOR developers should know. And I suppose it will help the development of the TOR network for private users like me. Since if the community of TOR users and developers grow, would we not have sooner or later a tool which is safe for private users like me, who are the object of an investigation by the Police, but are neither criminals nor terrorist? And it it is not sure if I ever will aks the Police for help. Or if I will join the community of TOR developers to make the TOR network more secure for people like me. This internet control happens at least since mid 2025 in my case. And I did not have any really serious problem with it. And without a laywer I will not talk to the Police anymore. And I did not find a laywer yet. I am still searching for one.
So why should I ask the Police for help? Or should I not rather help the community of developers to make tools like Mullvad VPN or the TOR network more secure?
And when I received support from the laywers of the Beobachter Magazine Switzerland about the legal case I am involved in, and I wrote there that I have a legal insurance.
The picture of an old friend of mine appeared on an electronic advertisement board at the main station in the City of Zurich

with the slogan «because you have a legal insurance».
And the legal case was about african man who are neigbours. And on this advertisement board, animals from Africa appeared. And my question I asked via e – mail support was about taking pictures with a photocamera. And the old friend on this electronic advertisement board used a foto camera and made pictures whith it. And it was I face I recognized immediately. The Beobachter Magazin offers support via e-mail and by phone, as well as by chat blogging. And when I asked them if they have an encrypted path to connect to those, they gave me no answer.
I rang my hairdresser via WhatsApp which is encripted. But the Police still seem to get this information when I go to her. When I left the hair dresser, an Ambulance car came shooting around a corner with blue lights and horns. And I suppose my hair dresser which is an old friend of mine gave the information to the Police when I come and also when I leave.
She had a cat since a long time, and now she has a dog. And that makes her very suspect to be a co-operative with the Police in Zurich.

But I am neither a criminal nor a terrorist.
And I these people seem to work for the Zurich Police, the people who have cats an dogs. But there is nothing going on about me. I requested information about this topic at the Police. But they answered there was nothing stored about topic like these at the Police in Zurich.
