How did I got caught?

>4 years ago
>use a US-based VPN before Tor cause tor 's website was blocked in India.
>visit the onion wiki
>Visit dead links and some forums(dread, etc)
>Nothing happens for weeks
>Suddenly get a call from cops saying I saw child porn(I didn't obv) and they somehow got my Reddit and youtube account and pointed at my anti-feminist comments, said they were offensive and I could go to jail for it. Cops did show up at my door to talk but didn't arrest me. I was also 17 at the time.

it's in the past and I got no reason to lie, especially on an anonymous forum. I just wanna know how they caught me.

The VPN site was either complicit or compromised.

You're a fucking moron that's how

Please go to R*ddit if you want to post made up shit

It was tunnel bear VPN, I don't think it's literal spyware, they may collaborate with cops tho, even then they should just see a tor connection not what im browsing, right?

This is a fabrication, a story of pure fiction.

I did visit my Reddit account once without tor, but tor changes IP on every restart so no way link my stuff together.

>live in third world countries
>have two ISP contracts aka two different internets
>relatively small neighborhood
>have a bunch of laptops and a bunch of high end PCs connected all day to the TOR network
>have one of the wifi open without password (but do not allow connections since they are MAC adress denied)
>have nuke script that will connect to the ROUTER, whitelist all mac addresses and deletes itself with secure-delete
>play dumb if the cops show up
>live paranoid 24/7 every time I see a cop around the block
I fear leaving my house, the money was not worth it bros

RIght, but they can try and scare you away from TOR by bluffing.

teach me to be as safe as you, i don't trust getting out of bed i'm begging you

If you noticed something about my posts is that I try not to leave a trail, I'm connected to TOR ALL DAY LONG, not just one hour, all day long, I have a docker container connected to TOR and I use it as a socks5 proxy, so the government won't detect that I'm doing some unusual visit to tor, also use bridges, I created a script to automatically grab new bridges from time to time, I also check for the container's health with a cronjob, if the container suddenly disconnects I just restart it with a custom configuration to a torrc file, exit and entries node are very important, do not choose US as the entry node, but don't be a retard and pick north korea or bulgaria only, leave your computers running 24/7 so that they won't notice anything weird, if they come home I'll just say "yeah I left my computer there running all day", also, security by obscurity, a lot of people criticize because they say it's not safety and even though they are right, keep in mind you're dealing with dumb cops and maybe some decent programmer which the dumb cops call "the hacker", so hide your trail by having open wifis, I personally have an open WIFI router which allows me to set up different wifis with 1 router, and allows me to disconnect all the other devices from each other, so they won't be able to see 192.168.1.3/4, they'll just see their own host, and that's the open wifi, if the cops ever show up, I'll just play dumb and say "oh shit i don't know bro maybe my neighbors they are using my wifi", encrypt all of your data, I personally use LUKs and have a yubiko device (pic related) that contains the actual LONG AS FUCK password to decrypt the data, and I have in a very secret place in my house, I do remember once some cops knocking on my door and I got scared as fuck and I said "wait a second", went back in, rebooted my laptops and went back, they were asking for a missing boy and they wanted to know if I had seen him, but now I live paranoid

Cool story OP. I had the feds appear at my house when I was 15 because I made a joke about Obongo in a video game. People dont believe me when I tell them the story, whatever.

I mean that's practically terrorism

cp is killing your soul

Plot twist:
>I live in the southern hemisphere

Telling lies makes baby Vishnu cry. You live in a country where your authorities couldn't give two fucks if children are gang raped so I find it highly doubtful they'll rock up to your door about "muh internet" activity.

What do you do on tor that would make you so paranoid?

> went back in, rebooted my laptops and went back
If police were after you for hacking, they'd definitely not let you do this

If they're a journalist or politically active, they really do have something to fear.

> compulsive lying this hard for attention
seriously: kill yourself, thanks.

When you access tor sites a certain amount of data goes to and from your place and the seedy site's place. They don't actually know who you are, but they can tell when someone was accessing an illegal site in your area based on data input and output patterns. Someone else likely accessed Tor around the same time as you within the same area for cp. They likely saw that you were also using Tor based on your data patterns but because you only used Tor at certain times, they got ahold of your personal accounts based on the data patterns' potential IP addresses. You were just a suspect, and they assumed you did it. They didn't actually know who it was who viewed cp but your reddit comments unfortunately confirmed their suspicions
