I was using the WHONIX operating system. And on the WHONIX operating system, I used the pre-installed Tor browser. Is there a better way to protect one’s privacy?
Despite this, when I used the WHONIX operating system together with the Tor browser, I noticed cars with Dutch license plates, or other foreign license plates, parked near my home.
There are often cars with foreign license plates parked near my home. I suspect there’s a connection between the countries my TOR traffic passes through and the foreign license plates. I haven’t investigated this scientifically; it’s just a hunch based on my own personal experience. This could explain why the Zurich city police might have hacked my TOR traffic and are trying to alert me.
Based on my limited experience, there seems to be a connection between which servers in which country my Tor traffic is routed through, and the foreign vehicles parked near my home. But that’s just a guess.
Online sources indicate that the Tor network is secure again. However, in my case, it appears the Tor network has been hacked. Someone seems to have discovered which foreign servers my Tor traffic is routed through. They are alerting me to this by parking cars near my home to indicate that they know which countries my Tor traffic is passing through. This would require further investigation and research, which I cannot and will not undertake. However, this could explain what I have observed and experienced.
This video claims that the TOR network is secure again after an update:
However, based on my own little experience, it’s different.
I always install the latest updates for the Tor browser. And I also always install the latest updates for the Whonix operating system. I don’t have it permanently installed; I always use the latest available version and restart it, without the Whonix operating system saving anything from one session to the next. And yet, I’m making these observations regarding the use of the Whonix operating system and the foreign vehicles parked near my home. I suspect a connection. I suspect that the Zurich city police have hacked my Tor traffic.
But since there are no charges against me, and I haven’t received any criminal complaints, is the Zurich City Police bringing this to my attention in this way, with the cars from foreign countries which correlate with the countries where my TOR traffic goes through? The only thing I can do now is to file a criminal complaint at the Zurich City Police, that someone is snooping on my internet and makes me aware of it. But that’s a lot of work and takes a lot of time.
And I’m not a criminal. I have a clean record. I know the laws and I stick to those.
