I installed and started playing with Tor over the weekend. It\’s a pretty cool P2P system for anonymizing your online tracks and includes a very ease to use proxy for your online traffic courtesy of the EFF. I\’ve noticed things slow down a bit – though perhaps a small price to pay for cruising around securely. My only issue is how I will need to customize the proxy (it\’s Privoxy and comes with the OS X installer) to allow for ads (yes ads), referrers and cookies. Without these tools, it becomes difficult to do certain things – like edit or delete a page in WordPress.
I do like it though and have to see if after reading the documentation more deeply, I can create a balance of privacy and accessibility.
