It wouldn't take long at all to find out exactly what you are up to if you are the only connection in your area (or even mux unit / distro) and you are traceable, regardless of what you read about TOR online. I presumed I was untraceable online using this, but turns out you're not.

No - I don't think so BM. Actually it is probably the reverse.

Assume that BT has given you the IP 81.121.51.12
You Run up TOR browser and request the URL "Forum.survivaluk.net"

The IP session from you to BT is en clair
However it then goes through all kinds of channels all over the world
and comes out on survivaluk.net's logs as something like 61.12.35.89.
There is no trackback and even if TPTB grab the server logs, all they see is 61.12.35.89.

And I'll send you the fatted calf if you can break the encryption
