Torpark, a nice tool to avoid leaving tracks for internet identity exposure…

Turn any internet terminal into a secure connection. Also called the Tor (The Onion Router) network.

Torpark, a wierd name but a very powerfull tool. This browser allows you to make your tracks safe for browsing. It allocates IP addresses to your browser so that any website you visit does not get your true location or IP.

This is completely build on the Onion Routing (Tor) system.

The Onion Routing program is made up of projects researching, designing, building, and analyzing anonymous communications systems. The focus is on practical systems for

low-latency Internet-based connections that resist traffic analysis, eavesdropping, and other attacks both by outsiders (e.g. Internet routers) and insiders (Onion Routing servers themselves). Onion Routing prevents the transport medium from knowing who is communicating with whom — the network knows only that communication is taking place. In addition, the content of the communication is hidden from eavesdroppers up to the point where the traffic leaves the OR network.

Now the best part is it is a portable version, so you could install it on your usb thumb drive and use it to browse. Best of all it is built on the Firefox browser, this makes you trust it more.

Some caveats, being some pages might be slow due to being passed thru their servers.

I have played with this app and it does what it says. It has been getting good reviews all over the wide web.
