Opera + Tor - Private browsing ka BAAP..:)


OperaTor (Windows Only) is a small software bundle that combines the power of Opera and Tor to create totally anonymous browsing. Best part, it is portable so you can stick it on a thumb drive.

OperaTor

If you don’t know what Tor is, it is a program that channels your internet through a large network of proxy servers. This means if you try to access a website, a few computers will be in between you and the server you are trying to connect to.
Personally I had some trouble loading the images and it was a little slower than I wanted. Personally, when I used the original Tor and configured Firefox for it, it loaded faster than OperaTor. Hopefully future releases will fix some of the small bugs here and there.
Update 1/26/09: I found out it works behind some surf-controls and internet filtering proxies by simply bypassing them (for when you are at school or at work)
