TOR - Turn on anonymity.
The Onion Router (Tor) is a free software implementation of second-generation onion routing – a system which claims to enable its users to communicate anonymously on the Internet. Roger Dingledine, Nick Mathewson, and Paul Syverson presented "Tor: The Second-Generation Onion Router" at the 13th USENIX Security Symposium.
A user of the Tor network runs a proxy server on his computer. Internet-facing software can then access Tor through a SOCKS interface. Once inside a Tor network, the traffic is sent from router to router, the Tor software periodically negotiating a virtual circuit through the Tor network, ultimately reaching an exit node at which point the clear text packet is forwarded on to its original destination. Viewed from the destination, the traffic appears to originate at the Tor exit node. Tor employs cryptography in a multi-layered manner (hence the Onion routing analogy), ensuring perfect forward secrecy between routers.
Tor cannot and does not try to protect against monitoring of traffic at the edge of the Tor network, i.e., the traffic entering and exiting the network. The United States government, for example, has the capability to monitor any broadband Internet traffic using devices mandated by the Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) and can therefore monitor both ends of a US-based Tor connection. Tor tries to protect against traffic analysis, but Tor does not have the ability to prevent traffic confirmation (also called end-to-end correlation).
By using the above TOR, we can browse the internet anonymously, i.e. Our browser request to any website is not known to anyone. So that we can browse any website, especially orkut, face book, youtube, etc. without any identification in office, schools, etc. i.e. We can unblock any website. To make it work on our browser,
Follow the steps given below,
1. Download X- Tor from here.
2. Open Firefox, and click on Tools à Add-ons.
3. In Get Add-ons, select Get Add-ons and type “torbutton” in Search Box.
4. Install that add-on & Restart Firefox.
5. Click on TorButton icon @ left bottom corner of firefox, and make it enabled.
6. Run X- Tor and Browse anonymously.
This above trick works on almost all content filtering services….
