Re: tor-proxy.net



Also, any reason the TOR website does offer something like this?

thanks for the info. I understand that it cant be safer than the real stuff, but objectively, i do  believe its safer than other online proxies, such as anonymouse? Am i correct?

To be clear, this service has nothing to do with us as the Tor Project. Years ago we asked
for a disclaimer, http://tor-proxy.net/?q=en/node/1#official.  He didn't
get the Tor url correct.

: Whats the diff between the First option (express)and the third?

You should ask him, http://tor-proxy.net/index.php?q=en/node/7.

I don't think anyone from Tor has actually met the operator, Ben.  I
can't make a value judgement on if this is good or not.  I like the fact
there is no client install, just connect and use Tor.  I'm concerned
that even if Ben is an upstanding privacy activist and truly logs
nothing, the connection to his dedicated server could still be watched
and logged by someone else.

Perhaps Ben is on or-talk and can explain his experiences and the setup
of tor-proxy.net in more detail.
