Tor: anonymity online

Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

Tor aims to defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers called onion routers, protecting you from websites that build profiles of your interests, local eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit, and even the onion routers themselves.

Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as more people volunteer to run servers. Please consider volunteering your time or volunteering your bandwidth. And remember that this is development code—it's not a good idea to rely on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity. REMEMBER TO DISABLE JAVA ON YOUR WEB BROWSER WHEN SURFING WITH TOR TO DEFEAT  ATTEMPTS TO TRACK YOUR ACTIVITY  BY ROGUE USERS.

Or download TORPARK, which is a firefox web browser varient which uses the TOR network to route your connections without having to configure the web browser! You can also install TORPARK to a USB thumb drive to use on the GO!
