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. Wondering how it works for others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Quote Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Diamond Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 This browser uses onion routing, which is not exactly the same as using proxies. Quote This statement is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
