The Tor network is a group of volunteer-operated servers that allows people to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. With Macports there is an install target `tor' and `torsocks'. Several Linux distributions have these install targets too The former, when running, will provide a SOCKS proxy which you can point applications at either by running them inside `torsocks' or by entering in the Tor SOCKS host info for that app. However, in the case of web browsing, there is already a Torbrowser which is a stripped-down browser designed for safety. It depends what you want to accomplish. If you just want to keep well-positioned agents from intercepting your traffic for archival, https everywhere or an encrypted e-mail is a good start fine (Microsoft can provide the latter). If you want to make it expensive for anyone to identify you, take a look at Tor. It is also possible to couple a VPN to Tor, in case for some reason there is reason to think there are agents looking for use of Tor from your connection point. Tor is slow compared to a VPN.
