116
+<p>Tor by itself is <b>NOT</b> all you need to maintain your anonymity.
117
+There are several major pitfalls to watch out for.
118
+</p>
119
+
120
+<p>First, Tor only protects applications that are configured to
121
+send their traffic through Tor -- it doesn't magically anonymize
122
+all your traffic just because you install it.  We recommend you
123
+use <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/firefox">Firefox</a> with the <a
124
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2275/">Torbutton</a> extension,
125
+and follow <a href="comingsoon">other recommendations for other supported
126
+applications</a>.
127
+</p>
128
+
129
+<p>Second, browser plugins such as Java, Flash, ActiveX, RealPlayer,
130
+Adobe's PDF plugin, and others can be manipulated
131
+into revealing your IP address. We recommend the <a
132
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1237/">QuickJava</a> and <a
133
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/">FlashBlock</a> extensions,
134
+and you should probably disable <a href="about:plugins">plugins</a>
135
+in general.
136
+<!-- You may also find
137
+<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/">NoScript</a> and <a
138
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/">AdBlock</a> helpful. -->
139
+</p>
140
+
141
+<p>Third, beware of cookies: if you ever browse without Tor and Privoxy
142
+and a site gives you a cookie, that cookie can identify you even when
143
+you start using Tor again. You should clear your cookies frequently. <a
144
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/82/">CookieCuller</a> can help
145
+protect any cookies you do not want to lose.
146
+</p>
147
+
148
+<p>Fourth, Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic,
149
+and it encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but <a
150
+href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ExitEavesdroppers">it
151
+can't encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final
152
+destination.</a> If you
153
+are communicating sensitive information, you should use the same level
154
+of care that you would on the normal scary Internet -- use SSL or other
155
+end-to-end encryption and authentication approaches.
156
+</p>
157
+
158
+<p>Lastly, be smart and learn more. Understand what Tor offers and what
159
+it doesn't offer. This list of pitfalls isn't complete, and we need your
160
+help <a href="<page volunteer>#Documentation">identifying and documenting
161
+all the issues</a>.
