Tor is free software and an open network that helps us defend against a form of network surveillance that
threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential
activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.
Privoxy "scrubs" (removes personal information from) the data it sends. But even Privoxy won't protect us from viruses, Java Script attacks, etc; and Privoxy can't do anything about text typed into forms. Stay aware, awake and alert.
Vidalia lets you start and stop Tor, see how much
bandwidth you are consuming, see how many circuits you currently have
active, see where these circuits are connected on a global map, view
messages from Tor about its progress and current state, and let you
configure your Tor client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface.
Included in Vidalia is an extensive help system which helps you
understand all of the options available to you.
