Last week, Science Friday had an interview with an attorney from the Electronic Frontier Foundation who recommended to use the Tor proxy server (http://tor.eff.org) to hide your IP address from the web sites you're visiting. Any experience with that?
Thanks for the information on Tor. I had hoped it would be reasonably speedy, but apparently it is subject to similar bandwidth limitations that hamper other privacy projects such as Java Anon Proxy (JAP).
I agree. Although I haven't yet got tor working in Kanotix, I found it useful, but too slow for general browsing. I'm not a furtive soul and have little to hide, but I hoped that using it selectively for shopping etc. might reduce the amount of spam I get.
