| Hi all. I just wanted to inform you of some ways to protect yourselves on the world wide web, and the internet. The best one I can think of isThe TOR Project. It's used by wikileaks and such. It's more like an encryption network than anything else. It splits your signal into several parts, bounces it all over the planet, recombines it at the end, and spits your request out of someone else's computer. This is all done consensually, you must consent to host a TOR node. You can use the TOR network as a client only, but the benefit of hosting a node yourself is you get the benefit of your outgoing data being mixed in with the data of other people using the TOR network.
There is a version for windows. I recommend using a Linux based system just because it's open source, and available to audit by anyone. There have been no reports of spyware embedded within Linux systems, and I recommend using Ubuntu for it's ease of use and installation (though getting TOR working still takes a good amount of work). If you go this rout, do not install TOR install "Vidalia" instead, and when it gives you the option if TOR should start-up at the beginning, tell it no. This is very important for Vidalia to work. Vidalia will manage TOR through a graphic interface instead of using command-line codes.
Once it's all over and done with it's fairly simple to use. Google thought I was from Russia earlier today, Korea an other. Works great. The more people who host it, the faster the whole network is. |
