But yes, that's is EXACTLY where I hide, right in plain sight.  

I do find it a bit ironic that people who rail endlessly about how consenting adults are persecuted under the law don't have half the guts that "queers and stoners" do. How do you think pot and being gay ever became mainstream and legal? "someone" had to stand up and be counted and suffer the slings and arrows of a narrow minded and judgmental society, I guess "queers and stoners" have more guts than "hookers and johns" as the risks to life, limb, physical violence, jail time and being totally ostracized by family and friends alike were not only real, but commonplace.

So, how'd I do??? lol

I was wondering what steps people are taking to stay under the radar.  I am not that tech savvy and do not know what are the latest and greatest s/w tools available.  

I searched for threads on keeping anonymity while browsing the internet and did not really find my answer. I use TOR - but, are there other tools to mask IP addresses, etc. This way - logging into TER, a provider's website, etc. - does not log personal information etc. I forget the names of some tools that people talked about before - something 'dragon' that masks IP.  

In addition, are there suggested email providers other than gmail or yahoo that should be used. I tried doing a search and could not find anything other than people talking about burner phones.  The amount of information gmail captures is pretty amazing.  

What do you do for your browser as well?  

Do you ever access material using a smartphone (even assuming its a burner phone)?  If so, what apps do you recommend installing.  

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.  

Thank yo

I hate that we are forced into "Hiding" by Religion and Politics.

                                       so I don't.

as evidence that you have something to hide.

I wonder if it isn't best to be right out in the open

Exactly! LE associates people using TOR with the deep dark web where all kinds of nefarious shit goes on in the web. Silk Road, where drugs, weapons and other illegal stuff was dealt online has been replaced by other sites. Yes, people still buy illegal stuff online with bitcoins, which are another LE flag. You can read up on the latest news on staying hidden online, but so can LE. There is nothing illegal about reading P4P sites, just don't try to talk to LE about it under any circumstances! Lots of people get tricked into admitting to crimes that they didn't know were crimes. Shut your mouth and use your right to remain silent. I'd avoid using TOR to hide my P4P activities. The last thing you want is being suspected of hiding something serious.

I have also been talking with one of my local representatives about the need to decriminalize this world.  I'm a third one here who doesn't hide.

The go-to solution for email privacy seems to be Protonmail.  You have to sign on with a password, then supply a second password to de-encrypt your mailbox.  If both users are using it, there is an even higher level of security.  Last I heard, it was the only one being promoted by Edward Snowden.

While I used to subscribe to the "why hide" philosophy, I've changed my tune on that.  It's not just LE you have to worry about, but the numerous other actors who want your information for one reason or another.  There is an increasing necessity for using TOR, such as ensuring privacy when logging into your own  healthcare provider's Patient Portal. These necessities are increasingly making LE's "what are you trying to hide" narrative a moot point since no one can rely on an ISP, yahoo or google to protect their own information.

If everyone in the community used TOR and an email service like Protonmail, something which could happen in a matter of weeks, it would be a much safer and secure community.

Bought with cash & service cards bought with cash too.  I delete everything after every use.  In a worst case, I can drop it under a truck tire.

I don't use TOR or any type of IP masking software. I use public and private wi-fi, and my DATA connection. I surf TER and escort sites on computers, iPad, and iPhone.  
I don't even use a hobby phone except when TOFTT with BP gals, and then it's just an APP on my phone.  

But I think some people do this
