kumquatq3 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 A tweaked version of Firefox that makes Web browsing anonymous has been released by a group of privacy-minded coders. Every few minutes, the Torpark browser causes a computer's IP address to appear to change. IP addresses are numeric identifier given to computers on the Internet. The number can be used along with other data to potentially track down a user, as many Web sites keep track of IP addresses. Link Tried it, easy to use, but a tad slow.

Pop Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I've used IP masks before. There are sites that you can go to that launch a "mini-browser" that have a proxy IP. They're useful for getting past being banned on a forum. Not that I've ever used it for such nefarious purposes. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

kumquatq3 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Right, but free proxies are annoying, but there are ones that a faster than this. I wanted to see if it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 This browser uses onion routing, which is not exactly the same as using proxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
