De um modo geral, é impossível ter um anonimato perfeito, mesmo com o Tor.
Embora existam algumas coisas que pode praticar para melhorar o seu anonimato enquanto usa o Tor e em modo offline.
Use Tor Browser and software specifically configured for Tor
O Tor não protege todo o seu tráfego na Internet.
O Tor protege apenas as aplicações que estão configurados corretamente para enviar o seu tráfego de Internet através do Tor.

Control what information you provide through web forms
If you visit a website using Tor Browser, they don't know who you are or your true location.
Unfortunately many sites ask for more personal information than they need through web forms.
If you sign in to that website, they still don't know your location but they know who you are.
Further, if you provide: name, email, address, phone number, or any other personal information, you are no longer anonymous to that website.
The best defense is to be vigilant and extremely cautious when filling out web forms.
Don't torrent over Tor
Torrent file-sharing applications have been observed to ignore proxy settings and make direct connections even when they are told to use Tor.
Even if your torrent application connects only through Tor, you will often send out your real IP address in the tracker GET request, because that's how torrents work.
Not only do you deanonymize your torrent traffic and your other simultaneous Tor web traffic this way, you also slow down the entire Tor network for everyone else.
Don't enable or install browser plugins
O Tor Browser vai bloquear plugins como o Flash, RealPlayer, Quicktime e outros: eles podem ser manipulados de modo a revelar o seu endereço de IP.
Similarly, we do not recommend installing additional addons or plugins into Tor Browser, as these may bypass Tor or otherwise harm your anonymity and privacy.
Use HTTPS versions of websites
Tor will encrypt your traffic to and within the Tor network, but the encryption of your traffic to the final destination website depends on that website.
To help ensure private encryption to websites, Tor Browser includes HTTPS-Only Mode to force the use of HTTPS encryption with websites that support it.
However, you should still watch the browser URL bar to ensure that websites you provide sensitive information to display a padlock or onion icon in the address bar, include https:// in the URL, and display the proper expected name for the website.
Also see EFF's interactive graphic explaining how Tor and HTTPS relate.
Don't open documents downloaded through Tor while online
Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that are handled by external applications.
DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING.
Deveria ter muito cuidado ao transferir documentos via Tor (especialmente ficheiros DOC e PDF, a menos que utilize o visualizador de PDF incorporado no Tor Browser), pois esses documentos podem conter recursos da Internet que serão transferidos fora do Tor pela aplicação que os abre.
This will reveal your non-Tor IP address.
If you must work with files downloaded via Tor, we strongly recommend either using a disconnected computer, or using dangerzone to create safe PDF files that you can open.
Under no circumstances is it safe to use BitTorrent and Tor together, however.
Use bridges and/or find company
Tor tries to prevent attackers from learning what destination websites you connect to.
However, by default, it does not prevent somebody watching your Internet traffic from learning that you're using Tor.
If this matters to you, you can reduce this risk by configuring Tor to use a bridge rather than connecting directly to the Tor network.
Ultimately the best protection is a social approach: the more Tor users there are near you and the more diverse their interests, the less dangerous it will be that you are one of them.
Convince other people to use Tor, too!
Be smart and learn more.
Understand what Tor does and does not offer.
This list of pitfalls isn't complete, and we need your help identifying and documenting all the issues.
