Hi, I use a Windows program called Proxifier that routes all applications to connect to Tor. I find Proxifier very useful in allowing Tor to connect to proxies set in Firefox by an external program (Hide IP Platinum). I think easier than editing the Privoxy config to stick open proxies at the e

One simple and stupid question. Tor encrypt traffic, how? The ISP can say that any machine of the network is a spy machine proxy. Where is Tor server?, clients ask.. and spy machine reply: here. Uses tor any out of network based system (PKI for example), to see that spy machine really is not th

JT, Security is NOT binary, it is a process, and it is a gradient. We only desire the illusion of it being binary. There is compromise in every design, take tor for example using 128bit crypto because it is pretty secure and fast enough to encrypt on the fly. I'm sure there are people that wish it
