<p>It all depends on how anonymous you really want to be.
For example, do you use Google authenticator?

You can access blockchain through Tor at http://blockchatvqztbll.onion/. [Proof that this is the real website.](https://twitter.com/blockchain/status/538719868292706304)

Please note that there are malicious tor exit nodes which attack against Blockchain.info users: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/30336/5464 - if you are a non-technical user I would recommend not using a web wallet over tor

# Does Blockchain.info track IP addresses?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-03-08)

I use Blockchain.info for my wallet, I use a secure anonymous email address.

My name and identifying information is never connected with my bitcoin, is it anonymous?

How can I keep my bitcoin wallets and usage anonymous?

Will Blockchain.info give up my IP address if "requested" by TPTB?

Should I be using TOR for all of this?

thanks!
