Dont we have any website offering this service ? I cant install TOR in my office network. The LAN administrator wont approve.

For those that do not have admin access to install programs, I think there was a portable version of TOR which was created by ThePirateBay.org guys. It is called 'PirateBrowser'

Download from http://piratebrowser.com/

It's not intended to be a TOR Browser, while it uses the Tor network, which is designed for anonymous surfing, this browser is ONLY intended to circumvent censorship.
The Tor network is used to help route around the censoring / blocking of websites your government doesn't want you to know about.

Mostly yes. Only the great hacker or the NSA would find you using a backdoor.

I heard some the TOR servers are run by secret agencies of multiple countries... true ?

And... if one encounter a flash file using TOR browser, does not it open up his/her IP ?

That's hard to say if there is any that are or not. I'm sure it's possible and I think it's something they'll try to do if they haven't already. The NSA did actually infiltrate and take over one of the TOR hosting server companies late last year I think though.

The risk exist but is very low. If you fear this case you can connect to TOR using a VPN.

Sorry for being so noob in this field... but I just want to know ... Can we use TOR using some web interface, e.g. hidemyass.com ?

Yes, this is possible but I assume you want to use tor for anonymity.

In general this is the idea of TOR:
Quote


You always want to use encryption, because the actual data going over the line may link to you. And so you do not want to connect in plain text to a web interface, where the web interface connects to TOR. The web interface may contain a backdoor, making you not anonymous.

Instead use tails https://tails.boum.org/  or the tor browser bundle https://www.torproject.org/.

Another option to be anonymous would be to use VPN services. You could get several VPNs and connect one to the other. This is not free however, it is generally much faster;

It depends. The final node know what unencrypted communication (plain text data).
For example if your final node is skype:

Quote


You must realize that al though the communication going over the tor network, with skype all data is being recorded, stored and analyzed by microsoft & friends. (Skype contains lots of spyware, you can see it when looking in the data files which you can find in \%AppData%\Skype\   you can open these files simply with notepad. In addition there are the PRISM files leaked; ). If you have a conversation "Lets meet in LA next Tuesday 2pm" they know that, despite you running it over the tor network.  So the final node is very important. Just using tor does not mean you are anonymous, but you are harder to find than using nothing.



Quote

TOR servers can be run by anyone. There are groups who want information by any means possible, this includes secret agencies but also others.
Whether this 'means' is technical, psychological, physical or other means.

How to use VPN ?

First if you want a real VPN you must pay for it. Free VPN are dodgy.

DO NOT use hidemyass.com (a popular free VPN), they sell information to the NSA.

Average Joe would be crazy to run a tor exit relay node.  All the "bad traffic" would be linking to his IP and potentially cause a legal nightmare.  Running a regular relay node however is supposedly alright.

FROM TorProject
Quote
Should I run an exit relay from my home?

No. If law enforcement becomes interested in traffic from your exit relay, it's possible that officers will seize your computer. For that reason, it's best not to run your exit relay in your home or using your home Internet connection.

Instead, consider running your exit relay in a commercial facility that is supportive of Tor. Have a separate IP address for your exit relay, and don't route your own traffic through it.

Of course, you should avoid keeping any sensitive or personal information on the computer hosting your exit relay, and you never should use that machine for any illegal purpose.

How can i keep my bookmarks during the Bundle Update?

TOR browser bundle has standalone firefox broswer .

Does it come with any risk of open port that may be listening to some remote malicious service ?

TOR is safe to use , you need not worry .

Just have to watch your exit nodes, for possible man in the middle attacks.

I have a doubt of using Tor.

When using Tor you got to close all the browsers, Thunderbird, etc? Or can you get all this applications opened at the same time?
