I have come across this firewall called "Gibraltar" http://www.gibraltar.at they claim to use Tor in their firewall and there is an .iso available for download but after reading their webpage I am still confused if the firewall is available for free to everyone or you need to buy their hardware in order to be able to use it.
Anyone ever heard about Gibraltar and can explain in a non technical way what is it exactly they do? Can I use it instead of the official Tor software? I like the idea of having a firewall and Tor integrated in one piece, it seems safer. JB ----------- http://www.gibraltar.at/component/option,com_acajoom/Itemid,47/lang,en/ Anonymisation Gateway: Gibraltar is the first firewall product with commercial support on the market that support anonymisation of outgoing network traffic. This anonymisation currently builds upon three software packages: "Tor": This EFF supported software allows to tunnel arbitrary TCP connections over multiple hops based on an onion routing protocol. With these multiple hops, neither an ISP nor the target server can trace network traffic anymore. Gibraltar can run tor as a socks proxy so that any client behind a Gibraltar firewall that is capable of using socks can benefit from anonymisation. "Anon-proxy"/"JAP": Anon-proxy is the command-line version of the popular JAP proxy developed by the Technical University of Dresden. It acts as an HTTP proxy and applies similar techniques as tor to anonymize web traffic over multiple hops, including mixing with other HTTP streams to prevent traffic analysis. Gibraltar firewall integrates anon-proxy with the already used squid HTTP proxy server, so that the whole HTTP traffic can optionally be transparently anonymized for every client without explicit configuration. "Freenet": As an overlay network, freenet allows to anonymously store and retrieve files, including but not limited to HTML files. Gibraltar firewall includes the stable release of freenet as an HTTP gateway where clients can simply use the whole freenet with web browsers. We expect to update the freenet installation in future Gibraltar releases to support the new freenet development branch with support for darknets, offering anonymity even under stringent censorship. ____________________________________________________________ GET FREE 5GB ONLINE STORAGE - Safely store your documents, photos and music online!
