For example, I downloaded Tor network and using it for illegal activities. Can my govt track me? Can US govt track me? I know it encrypts something but if I remember correct, FBI was able to find some Tor users before.
Note: illegal activities was for example. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m just planning to serve my instance with a onion address.

Most tor users got caught because of bad OPSEC, not because of the tor network itself…
Bad opsec and hubris/idiocy.
So we need other security methods besides using Tor? Like what?
Not using anything Google/Microsoft related would be a good start.
Followed by no JavaScript, no browser plug-ins, etc.
Maybe, parallel construction confuses the quality of ToR a bit. If I was a APT and compromised ToR I wouldn’t want anyone to know, so i would use parallel construction to always have a non-ToR reason for a take down.
