New Browser To Leave You Without A Trace

A Firefox-based browser designed to allow anonymous Web surfing has been released by Hacktivismo, a group of human-rights advocates and computer security experts.

The webserver is called "Torpark", it has no installation meaning it can directly be used from a usb drive. The Torpark creates an encrypted connection to the TOR (The Onion Router) network, which supplies a succession of different IP addresses.

"Torpark causes the IP address seen by the Web site to change every few minutes, to frustrate eavesdropping and mask the requesting source," Hacktivismo said in a statement.

When you use Torpark, it will show different ip address every a few minutes to the website your visiting. For example if you are in London, Torpark will show the website that your in Australia and a few minutes it will show that you are in China.

Torpark encrypts data sent to the TOR network, but data isn't encrypted between TOR and the destination Web site. Therefore, be sure not to use user name or password on Web sites that do not offer a secure login and session.

Torpark will cause your surfing slower than the unmodified browser. But this will surely help you to surf the internet without giving up your privacy.
