TOR is a good proxy download program

You can find TOR at :

TOR's the best I've seen. It was made by the U.S. Naval Labs to hide communications and is available via free download. It can hide where you're coming from and surfing to as well as the IP. The IP address changes automatically every few minutes or you can change it manually by hitting a button. One second you look like you're coming from Israel then from Germany then from Texas etc., it's great! It also hides other signs of where you're from too. It's settings are customizable also. It gets IP's for you so you don't have find any and enter them by hand, which is convenient.

Here's some pasted text from the main page you'll see at TOR's site :

"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 Internet's TCP protocol."

"Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor for a wide variety of reasons: journalists and bloggers, human rights workers, law enforcement officers, soldiers, corporations, citizens of repressive regimes, and just ordinary citizens."

And #4 on the download page reads :

"Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic, and it encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but it can't encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final destination. If you are communicating sensitive information, you should use as much care as you would on the normal scary Internet R*2; use HTTPS or other end-to-end encryption and authentication."
(encrypting traffic in TOR, can't beat that for a free program! <my words>)


I have to get it now, didn't have it for a short time cause I had reformatted the drive and lost it temporarily.

Bye all......have fun.
