Livin' and Playin'

And there you go. The circle closes in on us and a free Internet seems to be more and more a fleeting concept. 

When the day comes, and it will come, it’s best to be prepared. Here are the links for some tools that can prove themselves instruments of privacy. Use them as you see fit.

• Tor - Thank god for the Tor project. They are your safest bet on traffic analysis and privacy from second and third party surveillance. It’s not flawless so read the Overview Section carefully. It includes its own safe browser, private IM service and secure email account.
• Tails - It’s essentially a portable Tor. Install it in a USB drive or burn it to a cd for mobile access to a securer internet connection.
• Privoxy - Pair this non-caching web proxy along with Tor to enhance your privacy and anonymity.
• Hushmail: Hushmail provides encrypted, secure email for free.
• BrowserSpy: BrowserSpy is a website that will help you find out how many footprints your Internet browser is leaving.
• IPredator - Anonymous web-surfing through VPN and proxy connections. You’ll exchange the IP-number you get from your ISP to an anonymous IP-number . You get a safe/encrypted connection between your computer and the Internet. It has a 5€/month charge but it’s worth it.
• LOIC - The Low Orbit Ion Cannon may be the only serious protest tool we Internet commoners have. It’s used mainly for DDoS attacks.

Don’t let fear and apathy rule your life.
