Windows users can significantly improve their security by always sending Sphinx packets
of the same size, mixed with Loopix Cover Traffic, over a Tor stream, rather than using
OmniMix with more hops, which doesn’t help anyway, since ISPs with a gag order from the
TLAs just have to say, “Hey, we’ve spotted another OmniMix user using the Tor network,”
because that’s visible in Tor streams.
