Good to know. I heard someone say there is a vulnerability with tor the longer your session lasts. I didn’t really understand what that meant. Have you heard of something like that?

This was in the old days, as I said, nowadays the circuits are constantly renewed. If you open a new tab a new circuit is generated, even in the same web eventually just generating another circuit and you can also renew it from a button.
Tor like any protocol improves with time, and the pow protection that was added a few months ago has drastically reduced ddos attacks.
Thank you 🫡
Sorry one more question. Say I’m using a mobile wallet and I’m connected to a VPN. Can the VPN see what I’m doing? Like sending funds and to where? Or do they just see that I’m using the app and nothing else?
The vpn will know the ip you connect to, basically that is the information they will have about you.
If the ip is an electrum server then they will know that you are connecting to an electrum server but nothing more, although that is a lot of information.
