Anonymity on Internet

Until I did a summer research on Anonymity and Privacy on public networks, I was never a strong advocate of the concept of anonymity. For those of you who think anonymity is only required by the whistleblowers and miscreants, read no further. There is enough literature on the Internet to convince you morons.

Coming back to the concept of anonymity, there have never been too many tools available for non-geeks to play around with anonymous browsing. The TOR project was the only surviving anonymity product, but it required considerable tweaking on the system. Recently I came across a complete package from the guys at TOR for single click install on Windows, Linux and Mac machines. I thought this is the best it can get until few days back when I discovered Torpark - a portable anonymous surfing browser based on Mozilla framework. Nothing needs to be installed and you can just run it off a USB drive. Very cool !
