Tips, tricks and information about the Tor network!
Last time I tried onion it was 5+ years ago and slow as fuck. Has the performance improved?
Not really, but the performance was based on the nodes you went through. Nodes have gotten better over time, so the experience now should be better.
Depends on your location and standards. Lots of the Tor relays are in Europe, so if you are here the connectivity is pretty good. Bandwidth is usually up to 2 MB/s and latency usually goes from 300ms - 1.5 seconds. Initial connections to a server might take longer (5-7 seconds). For browsing the web and playing non-HD videos it's fine in my opinion.
