Tor and Clearing History -- Not enough to keep websites from tracking me?

Disable all scripts.
Use private browsing?
Maybe you've been extremely unlucky and gotten an ip(or multiple) that has adjust been used by other people on the tor network.

How can you detect the real IP behind TOR via javascript alone? thats news to me...
it can be done via actionscript within flash but ive never heard of it being done via JS

Why not have a virtual machine running tails, then you have fully seperated all your shit from whatever you are doing on your machine and the vm. its not the perfect solution, but its a great start.

tails.boum.org

This is terrible advice. Honestly, this is quite possibly the worst advice you could give him. Fuck tails ;)

I Personally dont agree with the whole deal about using the tor network for doing payment stuff etc.. but you have to be somewhat more informative about your issue with my suggestion. 🙂

I'm referring to you suggesting that he uses a backdoored linux distro. Besides he said the payments were via BTC :) cryptocurrencies and TOR go hand in hand.

I agree with you that the issue with using a distro where the topic of it being "backdoored" can be a mother fucking issue and he should properly go download a openbsd iso and fire up tor via that... do all the ip tables stuf and make sure that there are no dns leaks.

I followed up on your statement and found this link, is this what you are refering to?

I will change my comment regarding tails, and try to give more general advice.

*Interesting link i found while updating myself on the whole tails situation youtube.com/watch?v=sNYsfUNegEA

yes im referring to the microcode injection.. i think he's better sticking with one of the mainstream distros, or if he's looking for something similar to tails then liberte linux is probably a good choice - its all open-source rather than having closed-src parts such as tails.

Man, you really are quite the fucking moron. That rumor was spread by people who work for the government and neckbeard conspiracy theorists so people wouldn't use tails to hide themselves, making it easier to find retards like you. There's absolutely no proof that the microcode is a backdoor, not to mention the fact that there is "microcode injection" on almost all non-shitty linux distros.

Actually do some research before you decide to be autistic and jump to the broad conclusion that tails is backdoored. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
OP, what you have to do is simple. Simply install gentoo
