Beat the bad guys.

Beat the bad guys.
Here's the free software to help browse incognito.

Every computer on the internet communicates using a traceable address. This means that a third party with the knowwho can determine what websites you visited and who your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is. Even the content of the webpages you view or mail you read can be intercepted and seen if encryption isn't used. But there are ways to beat such snoops.

The JAP Anonymizer is a software that was developed as part of an ongoing research project at the University of Dresden. Instead of connecting directly to web server, users take a detour, connecting after the encryption through several intermediaries, so called mixes, which are linked in predetermined sequences know as mix cascades. Since many users use these intermediaries at the same time, the Internet connection of any one single user is hidden among the connections of all users.

Tor can help you improve your safety, anonymity and security on the Internet. It also has a platform on which new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features can be created. It uses a very simple and ingenious method where communications are bounded around a distributed newtork of servers, called onion routers. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination , data packets on the Tor nework take a random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no one can tell where the data came from. Tor was designed and developed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.
