Re: reporter from The Economist in Thailand seeks help

Hello,
if the person only wants surfing the web, torpark is the best thing.  
It can be found here: http://www.torrify.com/download.php

Something to the stuff I read here: Its great that you write howtos  
for newbies with nice pictures and so on. But if you write a howto,  
keep in mind what peaple want to do. They dont wanna set up a server.  
They wanna _use_ Tor. So a good idea is to make simple and straight  
howtos that only show how to install Tor (or Torpark) and set up the  
Browser. The rest is only confusing 95% of the users.
I know the problem: If I write things like this, I always feel like  
an idiot. But I learned to igonre this to get better relults ;)

Enigma, thaks for your work. its a nice howto!
