One useful tool, which you're already using, is PGP. Then there
are the various anonymisers.
Also IPSEC, which can encrypt at the packet level and is a required
part of all IPv6 implementations. The Linux implementation of IPSEC,
FreeS/WAN (www.freeswan.org), is working on extending the protocol
to do "opportunistic encryption" so that any two FreeS/WAN boxes
can encrypt, even without link-specific pre-arrangement between
their admins. This might go some distance toward making encryption,
and therefore privacy, the default.
One (incomplete) list of security/privacy tools is:
