Three Easy Steps to Set-up Anonymous Web Browsing on Linux
This is a pretty old "how-to" but I thought I should share this to some of our readers who are new-to-Linux. This simple guide will enable you to surf the web anonymously while using Firefox on Linux. But to do this, you will need to install these two important tools:
* Tor
"Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis."
* Privoxy
"Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data, managing HTTP cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks."
