However, an adversary sniffing your network traffic + can still see what software you are installing. + . + Install apt-transport-tor, edit your sources.list to include only tor:// + URLs, and you can make it very difficult for anyone intercepting your + network traffic to be able to tell that you are installing Debian packages, + or which packages you are installing. + . + Please note that this approach is only as secure as Tor itself - this + software cannot protect you from an attacker who has access to your local + machine. In addition, attackers may be able to correlate your network + traffic with the packets coming out of an exit node, so do be careful. |
