http://www.torproject.org/ "Tor is a software project that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol." > As for privoxy, I cannot forget about something I had never heard of > before (and I do try to keep reasonably well informed about computer > technology). privoxy isn't all that relevant actually, my memory of it was a little stale. http://www.privoxy.org/ - "Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data, managing HTTP cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk." -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
