Browse Anonymously With Torpark -- Digital Streets

Torpark is a modification of the Portable Firefox browser that runs through the Tor (The Onion Router) network to establish an anonymous connection between you and the web site you are visiting. While the information passing from your PC in the Tor network will be encrypted, it is important to note that any data passing from the Tor network to a web site is not encrypted. You should not use usernames or passwords on sites that are not providing a secure session and login.In order to provide anonymity, there are compromises, namely decreased network speed and a limited browsing experience. The decrease in speed is due to Tor’s routing your TCP traffic through the Tor servers before taking it to its destination. As for the browsing experience, TorPark by default has JavaScript deactivated and no multimedia plugins. This is because both JavaScript and plugins like Flash send data back to the remote server, possible compromising your anonymity.

Installation is a breeze, simply download the compressed executable, unpack it and move the contents to the location you wish to run it from (like your USB drive). From that location, run Torpark.exe.
