Hey all,
I'm writing a book about the use of Bitcoin and anonymity. A fair
portion of the book will be dedicated to teaching people how to most
safely use Tor to facilitate anonymity with Bitcoin. Are there any
special tips that people have for configuring Tor or using Tor when
it
comes to Bitcoin?
Right now, I'm recommending the use of a LiveCD Linux distro (Ubuntu)
with TorBundle for Linux and the vanilla Bitcoin client for Linux. A
couple tips I'm already aware of are to disable JavaScript before
using
(since NoScript currently defaults to being on :() and to avoid
downloading files through the web browser such as PDF documents.
In particular, I'm curious 1) if there needs to be special
configuration to ensure that all DNS request go through Tor, and 2)
whether I can configure the system not to send any internet message
except through the Tor proxy.
Regards,
Kristov
You can use iptables to drop all traffic except for tor ports. Use
appropriate rules for inside -> outside and outside -> inside.
nmap would then come in handy as to port scan your system.
But if your are serious about it, drop Ubuntu... the spaceboy is
misbehaving for a long time now. Tails is something to be hacked on.
