TOR MESSENGER OS LINUX WINDOWS MAC OS X

The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux without needing to install any software. This is where the Tor Browser Bundle comes to the rescue: Even if you're a pretty advanced user, there's still a good chance of something going wrong somewhere, delaying your chance to jump on-line securely. However, in standard form, Tor is a rather cumbersome beast, with all sorts of background process dæmons, complex configuration files, startup services and so on. The Tor software 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, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites that are blocked. But to recap, the Tor Web site sums it up nicely:

Tor has become increasingly famous/infamous in the past few months due to its use by Web sites like WikiLeaks, as well as its crucial role in getting information out to the world during the recent Egyptian revolution.įor those unfamiliar with Tor, LJ has covered it before-see Kyle Rankin's article 'Browse the Web without a Trace' in the January 2008 issue and my New Projects column in the April 2010 issue. It seemed so important that I instantly gave it top billing for this month's column.

I've never covered a subproject of something I've reviewed before, but I noticed this a few weeks ago when trawling the Tor site (I've no idea how I missed it until now).
