10. How to verify your anonymity?
Unlike closed-source programs and services whose servers you do not have access to, Blackbox is a server that is located at your home and has an open-source architecture. Anyone who understands cybersecurity can verify its effectiveness in ensuring anonymity and change its settings.
11. Does Blackbox slow down Internet speed?
Yes, it does. The connection speed through Blackbox is reduced to 20-30 Mbps. Blackbox is not designed for constant Internet use for all tasks. This speed is sufficient if you connect to the Wi-Fi broadcasted by Blackbox only for tasks requiring anonymity. The speed of the secure Blackbox network is 6 times higher than that of TOR.
