Of what use is anonymity if i can't browse the pages?
I am using a 1024/128 DSL here.


basically it seems that your ip-adress can be obtained;

Hi all,

Any thoughts on "Tor"? Is this a safe and effective way to achieve anonymity
while online? Is there anything better or what other tools should this be
combined with?
