Setting up Ethical Metrics

tip

We highly recommend utilizing the Telegram channel option in addition to or instead of relying solely on email notifications.

Email notifications may sometimes encounter hurdles such as being categorized as spam or getting lost in a cluttered inbox. This could inadvertently lead to missing out on important notifications that require your immediate attention.

In contrast, Telegram channels provide a streamlined and efficient way to receive notifications directly to your device, ensuring that you stay informed without any interruptions.

  3. Thats it! Your Ethical Metrics will automatically register your TOR instance with the email address you provided. This will happen through the TOR network, preserving your privacy. You should receive a welcome email in the following minutes.
caution

To send email notifications, it is necessary that you provide an email address. In order to remain private, we recommend you to use an address that can't be linked to your identity. For example, John Doe probably wouldn't want to use "johndoe@gmail.com" if he wanted to remain anoymous.
