Hello from UK

Today I tried with tor and I got a strange message;

Something on your network has been sending enough traffic to trigger that. Hence the virus scan suggestion. Malware can exist anywhere, even linux. Heck, one can craft malware on a webpage in javascript to trigger that response and flood the network with http traffic ..,

If you are running Linux and know about TOR you know what you are doing The only other thing I can think of may be a VPN.

Wait, Linux needs antivirus and anti-malware solutions? I thought it was immune to such things. Perhaps a bit of clarification is necessary here. First and foremost, no operating system is 100 percent immune to attack. Whether a machine is online or offline, it can fall victim to malicious code...

Ok,just to add a bit more to this,
using google the normal way with the child lock on,I can access booze shops & websites but not a weed forum or a sexy website (the last 2 sites my friend told me about ).

Using tor I can see the weed forum & the slaggy one but still not anything tobacco related,this is why I thought a full ban was coming soon with all the things they have been doing over the past 15 years.

I'll give a virus scan a go anyway,but it can't be anything to do with that.

Thanks again..

I didn't know virus's could affect linux,looks like I need to add some more info to my whole 3 brain cells.
The only reason I use linux is because 11 years ago the computer got a virus & destroyed it,linux is the only thing that works.And I need to look at hydroponic stuff a lot & for some reason a few of those websites are blocked due to the child lock,these aren't forums,that's why I got tor.

I promise,I'm not trying to take over the world .
Thanks a lot.

It also shows that tor is a part of the internet wide intestines because even using tor,I still can't see certain things (tobacco) from what "something" doesn't want me to see.Nothing is hidden.I still don't know why these forums are still working for me though.

Anyway,enough of the tech help & talk.

Thanks for the huge welcome.I'm going to take somes pics & get started on a thread.

Thanks a lot!.

Sorry, one last thought and I'll move on. Are you able to access secure sites? I notice the forum is not a secure site but if you click on the shop now link for Whole Leaf Tobacco it takes you to a secure site. Just wondering if something is maybe preventing you from establishing a secure connection in general. Maybe the antivirus software will clear the issue up.

Secure sites work depending on what it is.I don't know what's going on.I don't understand anything anymore or maybe I never did .
