Looking For Anonymous Internet Service Provider

Recommended Posts

One of the main parts to Tor are exit nodes. This is the point at which your data is decrypted to a useable form and the request is made to the Internet. This is also the point that the content server (web server for example) sees the IP address the request is coming from. Since the exit node can see all of your information (but still not the original sender), they can filter what they want. The exit node may run its own surfing filter to get rid of p0rn or filter flash to keep the bandwidth down.Running an exit node is tricky business because you get blamed for all the content coming from your IP and the bandwidth is huge. I hear news stories all the time about an exit node owner getting raided for any number of illegal activities. This is why many exit nodes are run by universities and large organizations. It has been speculated that almost half of tor exit nodes are actually run by governments (NSA, former KGB) for intelligence gathering.In short, it may just be the exit node filtering flash. To make sure, switch to a different exit node. In the Vidalia bundle, open the user panel and click switch identity.
