I like to download a rare book now and then, but if practical I’d like to be safer about it.

      raw tor could cause more harm because its easily detectable by isp. i recommend using tor over vpn if living in a hostile state

        using tor is not illegal and what you do with tor is not readable to your isp.

        using tor to make your libgen visit unreadable to your isp would work

            Does it matter ? Unless you live in a country with censorship on Tor, you can use bridges for that. It is a private Tor relay that is harder to block, because the IP is not publicly disclosed.

              It does 100% matter, which I why I posted that. There are entirely different network topologies for countries where it will matter and I assure you, there, it does matter.

              And my comment was more so about the “not illegal” bit
