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…

So we need other security methods besides using Tor? Like what?

Not using anything Google/Microsoft related would be a good start.
