Surf the Internet anonymously - Tor project

Surf the Internet anonymously - Tor project

I have already written an article "Surf the Internet anonymously" where I presented several ways in which you can be anonymous on the Internet, including Hotspot Shield.

I will now briefly introduce Tor and write instructions on how to install it. Before we get started, I suggest you read the article "What is the Deep Web" to understand the power of this network.

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allow people and groups to increase their privacy online. If you do not use Tor or any other similar service, the traffic on your computer takes place directly. Tor network works by sending your traffic through multiple "relays" and so the end server to which you sent the request does not know your data.

Now, how do you install Tor?

Download Tor for your operating system on the official website and run it - Torproject.org

If you are using Windows, the Vidalia client and Firefox browser will open (install). In the add-ons bar, you'll see a Tor button that turns Tor on / off in Firefox.

Turn on Tor and go to whatismyipaddress.com to see if it works.
