Anonymous browsing in GNU/Linux/BSD's or UNIX's

que is strictly in a unix context

and not for something illegal anyway

Anybody knows some solution for anonymous browsing.it seems privacy is at risk when browsing through some "so-called" reliable sites!.I know about proxies.are they completely safe?

reg dataone isp or NIB users-does they logs ur activities before itself?
I am no gr8 in networking.so some fella's explains.hope it is useful to others too

As far as Linux is considered-i found an app java based which i am yet to try.

AN.ON remains free of charge) makes it possible to surf the internet anonymously and unobservably.
Without Anonymization, every computer in the internet communicates using a traceable Address. That means:

the website visited,

the internet service provider (ISP),

and any eavesdropper on the internet connection

can determine which websites the user of a specific computer visits. Even the information which the user calls up can be intercepted and seen if encryption is not used. JAP uses a single static address which is shared by many JAP users. That way neither the visited website, nor an eavesdropper can determine which user visited which website.

JAP seems easy to configure even got guide in install for ur browser(FF,ie or opera)
but does NIB logs details about every connected.

Those who want to try tor can check out sabayon live CD/DVD. It has tor as one of the boot parameters. If you enable it, you will have a configured tor environment enabled, AFAIK.

hmm..nice option with sabayon.hope more distros includes..but someone answers..does NIB logs each connections?

Nope Praka, I dont think NIB logs any connection details coz it kills the entire purpose of you being able to go where you wanna go with out any footprints in the snow.

This shows how to set up an IpCop machine ("hardware" firewall appliance distro) to utilize TOR transparently so ALL of your machines on your network are "torrified".
