eWEEK Labs Walk-Through: Torpark

Torpark, the Firefox-based anonymous browser, is from your hacker friends at Hacktivismo and the Cult of the Dead Cow.

On launching, Torpark provides a useful warning on the privacy limitations of the browser.

Connecting to the Tor Network can take a little while in Torpark, especially when running the app on a USB drive.

This was a familiar screen when running Torpark from a USB drive, although waiting a few extra minutes usually worked.

Since it is based on Firefox 1.5x, Torpark is simple to use for any Web surfer.

When youre surfing on the Tor Network, your IP address can be from anywhere. Even though eWEEK Labs was surfing from the Boston area, this Web site thought we were in Jolly Old England.

Torpark comes preconfigured with many useful privacy and ad-blocking extensions for Firefox.

No install routines required–just unpack the Torpark folder to your system or USB drive.
