I know about NTP, but since it's communication is NOT encrypted I don't want to use it.

The question is, how can I sync time with Tor proxy?

"HTP" protocol can achieve this, but it's not reliable(sometimes timeout due to Tor slowness).

How can I get reliable time from Tor's nodes quickly, anonymously, and correctly?

  • I'm using Windows, so Linux is no-go. Any chance to get tlsget.exe(Windows) or other thing? Also I already read about Tails... –  Oct 22 '14 at 14:42

Have a look at how Tails does time syncing via the Tor consensus file. You can also use Jacob Applebaum's tlsdate over Tor.

Really, if you're that paranoid that you won't even trust your network provider not to man-in-the-middle attack NTP traffic, then you may as well invest in a cheap GPS receiver.

Then once you've got a cheap GPS receiver, configure ntpd to use that to synchronise the time instead. GPS provides a very accurate time-source.

Of course someone could spoof GPS satellites, but then everyone in the area would be constantly getting lost when their navigation devices failed.
