Is Tor the perfect tool for proxy anonymity

Well, it is no longer secret between internet marketers who are pushing their rating on certain forum or boards. They are disguising themselves and making themselves anonymous every now and then.

It is called TOR. This tool is very good that its not only an elite proxy server but it is also fast (many people are complaining it is slow due to limited proxy servers). So you do not have to wait 5 minutes for a site to load up because you are using proxy. So this is another benefit of Tor, it is super fast.

First of all, you will need to download the tools and then I will get into how to use them. I hope you are using FireFox. If you do use IE I would recommend trying FireFox it is full of plugins and it is a lot more dynamic and safe than IE.

Download this plugin and install it, do not activate it, just install it.

Download “”Tor & Privoxy & Vidalia & Torbutton bundle: 0.1.2.18a (sig)”" for windows, if you have Mac then get the Mac version.

Well, for me, It works (I can see my IP change from Sweden to Germany) but it is really slow.. and I don’t it worth the bargain to anonymity. Try yourself.

Comment from people using bit torrent over Tor Network!

It is possible to configure BitTorrent traffic over the Tor network. It’s not a recommended alternative to anonymous BitTorrent, however, it does work. This causes a strain on the entire Tor network and all users that share it. Here’s an article that explains why it shouldn’t be practiced.

Having said that, there may be some circumstances where it is the only way for a P2P user to remain anonymous. Not only that, but Tor is also great at hiding the type of traffic that a user is transferring. An example would be someone living in a rural area who has but one option for an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and that same ISP throttles P2P traffic.

Regardless of any attempts to distract P2P file sharers from utilizing Tor for anonymity, we believe that the dissuasion will sell itself: BitTorrent download speeds are (comparatively) very slow over the Tor network.
