first rule of opsec - dont be stupid

sharing ur opsec setup is, unfortunately, stupid

Sadly this has become all too true. Anything beyond tips and pointers can get dangerous for yourself because LE does indeed sit on the internet and just stalk forums like this all day long and if you decide to lay out exactly how you manage to avoid LE without a hitch then it probably makes it easier for them to figure out how they're gonna use that against you.
Most will give the same advice(about opsec): find what works and work it.
Burner machine - vpn - rdp - ssh tunnel - website
this is a pretty hardcore setup if you're really in the trenches but it works to hide you and you can even throw tor in there if you live in 2014

Ultimately because a company claimed the E4M model that truecrypt was built on had been stolen from them and was wrongly open sourced by a ex-employee under a false license. The guy got sued an truecrypt dev's paused development for awhile then came back again so likely the reason they ended the project probably had something to do with the lawsuit of the guy that released the E4M code which was still going on in 2016. A 2015 audit also stated truecrypt had no significant vulns at that time. But you should still use the newer Veracrypt that is maintained today.

If you have never looked into Paul Le Roux, developer of E4M, you should consider it. He has a very interesting story went from developing encryption to selling drugs online to the us to internal arms trader.

Warning Note> Stay away from honeypot pre-shipped systems like Whonix, Tails, etc., set everything up yourself. Manuel, Manuel, Manuel.

Any verifiable proof that Whonix and Tails are honeypots?
