Tor

Powerful tool to communicate anonymously.

Tor has the solution to be able to solve your privacy problems: browse anonymously. If you don't like leaving a trail, you want to connect to networks you can't access or your need to avoid a proxy or similar protection, Tor is a tool that will encrypt your browsing and will make it impossible for anybody to follow your steps.

  Even though, the encryption of the data that is sent and received isn't 100% secure, it has to be said that user's anonymity is assured. This software uses a technology called “onion routing” that uses a large structure of servers that are specialized in hiding the IP and all the user information. Tor has a design that is prepared to support high scale attacks that try to find out the identity of any of its users.

  As it quotes in its own website, many journalists, ONGs and bloggers use Tor to manage to avoid the censorship of the countries in which they work, because even if the data that is sent can be seen, it will be impossible to find out from where. What's more, it is also possible to create a web server that connects via Tor, thus assuring that its location is totally secure.

  Tor is a really easy to use software application that connects automatically to the proper server and starts to work instantly without the user having to configure any parameters, but with the possibility to complete all kinds of configuration if needed. What's more, if you use Firefox, the program will integrate with it thanks to a plugin it includes.
