JAP - Java Anonymous Proxy helps to protect your personal privacy.JAP acts as a local proxy between the browser and the insecure Internet.

The encrypted messages are sent through a chain of intermediate servers (named Mixes by the inventor of the theoretical background, David Chaum) to the final destination on the Internet.

Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and more. Your traffic is safer when you use Tor, because communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers, called onion routers. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going. To be more safe with TOR use it with JanusVM (see below in section Various tools).

The JonDonym technology is based on the principle of multiple (layered) encryption, distribution and processing.

Below are two downloads available: JonDoFox s a profile for the Mozilla Firefox web browse and JonDoSetup is the free client software for JonDonym.

XPSP2 TCP patcher Windows XP SP2 introduces a few new twists to TCP/IP in order to babysit users and "reduce the threat" of worms spreading fast without control. In one such attempt, the devs seem to have limited the number of possible TCP connection attempts per second to 10 (from unlimited in SP1 and older WIndows version).
