Privacy

If you are wondering how good the privacy really is, let me warn you: Do not trust it! If you are looking for serious privacy, use Tor. It is not perfect either, but *much* better. If you do, read the manual carefully. It explanins how to configure programs so that they do not leak personal information.

What cor tries to achieve is not the same as Tor. Tor has the sole purpose of creating a network for people needing privacy. Cor tries to be a way for building zero configuration networks. While privacy is important here as well, it is not possible to build anything nearly is good as Tor under the constraints cor is facing. However, I still have not seen anybody else even trying to build a layer 3 with privacy in mind. The trend is exactly the opposite: There is more and more data retention and other stuff. Privacy also needs to be something which can be default enabled. Having only something which can only be used for special purposes, because it is slow will probably not be enough.

If you are interested in a list of things, which decreases privacy in the cor network, here it is:
