[tor-talk] DNS and DNSSec Questions



Hello, I have recently started using TOR and would like to understand and clarify some doubts:



My DNS doubts:

1) If I use Norton ConnectSafe for Home (the cloud-based DNS Web filtering service); am I risking i) to loose my anonymity (i.e my IP, etc.) and/or ii) to be totally susceptible for my internet/Jitsi trafficto be captured and tracked by any attacker?

2)  If I useOpenDNS Parental Control Solutions such as OPEN DNS Premium DNS or OPEN DNS Home; am I risking i) to loose my anonymity (i.e my IP, etc.) and/or ii) to be totally susceptible for my internet/Jitsi trafficto be captured and tracked by any attacker (Norton, my local network administrator, or any government)?

3) If I use alternatively theOPEN DNS DNSCryptfor Windows, (combined or not with 1 or any of 2); am I risking i) to loose my anonymity (i.e 
my IP, etc.) and/or ii) to be totally susceptible for my internet/Jitsi 
trafficto be captured and tracked by any attacker (Norton, my local network administrator, or any government)?

4) If I run TBBundle together with a Non-TOR say Chrome session, and a Non-TOR 'Forex application' session (i.e Metatrader or Saxobank); am I risking i) to loose my anonymity (i.e my IP, etc.) and/or ii) to be totally susceptible for my internet/Jitsi trafficto be captured and tracked by any attacker (Norton, my local network administrator, or any government)? 


I would like to mention that yesterday I received a note by help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  saying thatI CAN use TBB alongside a Non-Tor session say in Chrome, if I keep them separate I would not loose anonymity. I feel this is 
totally wrong since my IP would be well established, and also my using of TOR. Hence, an attacker can 'own' me easily.

5) I would like to configure to be a relay though I saw in the Network Map that the people "relaying" were shown with their IP address and 
platforms detailed. Isn´t this dangerous, I mean, doesn't a person 
giving relay (obviously a Tor user) loose its anonymity by publishing 
his IP? 


See below:

6) Finally, would you recommend www.hushmail.com as a webmail service that respect -quite as Tor.org- our user anonymity?


Well, my apologies for the long questionnaire....I thank you all very much in advance for your "liberation" drive.


Peace.
