With a name like this, I’m reminded that privacy is only as good as your entry node being used widely/not being too “obscure.”

https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/articles/harvard-bo... is a good example: because the person making the threat was one of the few people on the campus network using Tor at the time the threatening emails were sent, he was identified as a suspect.

If an activity is traced to the Obscura network, and your network activity shows you as one of few people using it at the time - or, if you’re using it for completely unrelated things and are unlucky enough to have accessed at the same time someone else used the network for illegal activity - you could be at risk.
