Problem
-------
[Many](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/encrypting-web-encrypting-net-year-review)
(80%) sites offer a secure version but not all. The https protocol
secures data exchanges between you and the site you visit but **it does
not hide the domain names**.
Your ISP, employer, preferred subway shop, etc. knows where you go
online.
Solution
--------
**Use a [VPN](https://wiki.nothing2hide.org/doku.php?id=en:protectionnumerique:vpn)**
Online traces
-------------
If your traffic is encrypted, that doesn\'t mean you\'re anonymous.
Beside our IP address, we leave a huge amount of online traces: OS
version, browser version, language used, plugins isntalled, screen
width, etc. This is our **digital fingerprint**. It is used to trace
you.
Check on [AmIUnique.org](https://www.amiunique.org/) how unique your own fingerprint is.
Solution
--------
Use [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/download/download "The Onion Browser")
Tor not only secure your traffic but also changes your digital
fingerprint. Tor is the perfect tool when it comes to anonymity.
To go even further
Use Tails, a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship.
