Torpark is a program which allows you to surf the internet anonymously.
Actually it is a modified portable Firefox browser that is setup to use a “The Onion Router” network. The browser has a few other modifications but it is the anonymous browsing available via the TOR network that is the big feature. From a user standpoint the Torpark’s startup is slow compared to the regular FireFox. Another interesting tidbit is that the default Google page comes from different countries. What I mean is that the first time I cranked it up I got the German version of Google as viewed with the English language fonts. The next time I got the Netherlands version. The next time I got an Asian version. You get the picture.
My interest in Torpark was primarily curiosity but I can see where it maybe useful for the average joe if you are paranoiac about using your computer in public areas. Its other uses are more controversial. It will cause some administration headaches for IT folks.
