I've put together the sort of page I think new Tor users need to visit when they get started on Tor for the first time. It's designed for TorK users, so doesn' t attempt to check your IP address or anything like that. Since it's very hard for a web service to know *all* Tor nodes at any given time, I wonder if the Tor node check is more confusing than it is helpful.
http://healthcheck.anonymityanywhere.com I've basically just filleted the jscript at showmyip.com/torstatus and made it a little more user-friendly. The catch with this sort of page is that a healthcheck website can only check for plugins/java/cookies if jscript is enabled, so you never get a fully green response. But at least it alerts users to the ways in which they can leak anonymity. As an aside, shouldn't the download page mention the perils of javascript? -- Browse Anonymously Anywhere - http://anonymityanywhere.com TorK - KDE Anonymity Manager - http://tork.sf.net KlamAV - KDE Anti-Virus - http://www.klamav.net
