 Replying to [comment:16 Sebastian]:

 Then you don't have to trust the local network.

 I was addressing mikeperry's question re running without a local copy of
 Vidalia.

 The full TBB is indeed a great way to do anonymized web surfing.  The
 point I was trying to make in comment #12 is that it is not the only way
 to browse via the Tor network, and that a strictly enforced reliance on
 Vidalia is limiting in some respects.
