Re: Whitedust article, Tor USB Product



Some would argue that it's just the free market doing it's thing, and some entrepreneur is cashing in ;D. What's the name of that self-contained, 'USB-stick' Thurnderbird and Firefox? I can't think of the name right now. It would probably be really easy for Arrakis to add this to his project. The one thing that's nice about VPM though is that it is cross-platform and contains a few extra security features that would be hard for a non-geek to configure. The reason I say this is because there are many dedicated freedom activists in the US and around the world that are just dying (sometimes literally) for something like this, but don't have the technical know-how to self-implement.

Arrakis, do you need help with TorPark? If so, I'd be willing to chip in, at least to a degree.
