<p>Tor by itself is <b>NOT</b> all you need to maintain your anonymity.
There are several major pitfalls to watch out for.
</p>

<p>First, Tor only protects applications that are configured to
send their traffic through Tor -- it doesn't magically anonymize
all your traffic just because you install it.  We recommend you
use <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/firefox">Firefox</a> with the <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2275/">Torbutton</a> extension.

</p>

<p>Second, browser plugins such as Java, Flash, ActiveX, RealPlayer,
Adobe's PDF plugin, and others can be manipulated
into revealing your IP address. We recommend the <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1237/">QuickJava</a> and <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/">FlashBlock</a> extensions,
and you should probably disable <a href="about:plugins">plugins</a>
in general.

</p>

<p>Third, beware of cookies: if you ever browse without Tor and Privoxy
and a site gives you a cookie, that cookie can identify you even when
you start using Tor again. You should clear your cookies frequently. <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/82/">CookieCuller</a> can help
protect any cookies you do not want to lose.
</p>

<p>Fourth, Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic,
and it encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ExitEavesdroppers">it
can't encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final
destination.</a> If you
are communicating sensitive information, you should use the same level
of care that you would on the normal scary Internet -- use SSL or other
end-to-end encryption and authentication approaches.
</p>

<p>Lastly, be smart and learn more. Understand what Tor offers and what
it doesn't offer. This list of pitfalls isn't complete, and we need your
help <a href="<page volunteer>#Documentation">identifying and documenting
all the issues</a>.
