Anonymous Web surfing with TorK

Everyone who surfs the Net is eminently trackable. Internet data packets include not only the actual data being sent, but also headers with routing information that is used to guide the packages to their destinations. Even if you use encryption for extra safety, the routing information -- which cannot be encrypted -- can reveal details about what you're doing, who you're talking to, what services you're connecting to, and what data you're accessing. Intermediaries (authorized or not) can also see that data and learn about you. If you want a higher level of anonymity, TorK can do the job. It uses The Onion Router (Tor) network to provide you with a safer way of browsing.

Surfing the web with Lynx

Linux detected my modem(finally!) and I then proceeded it to configure it with Minicom according to the instructions here. I got it configured, and can dial up to my ISP, but now I am trying to figure out how to get Lynx to use the connection. Any ideas? (3 Replies)

Net::SIP::StatelessProxy(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Net::SIP::StatelessProxy(3pm)

NAME
Net::SIP::StatelessProxy - Simple implementation of a stateless proxy SYNOPSIS
.. DESCRIPTION
This package implements a simple stateless SIP proxy. Basic idea is that the proxy has either a single or two legs and that the packets are exchanged between those legs, e.g. packets incoming on one leg will be forwarded through the other leg. Because this is a stateless proxy no retransmits will be done by the proxy. If the proxy should work as a registrar too it should be put after a Net::SIP::Registrar in a Net::SIP::ReceiveChain. While forwarding the proxy will be insert itself into the packet, e.g. it will add Via and Record-Route header while forwarding requests. Additionally it will rewrite the Contact header while forwarding packets (see below), e.g. if the Contact header points to some client it will rewrite it, so that it points to the proxy and if it already points to the proxy it will rewrite it back so that it again points to the client. CONSTRUCTOR
new ( %ARGS ) Creates a new stateless proxy. With %ARGS the behavior can be influenced: dispatcher The Net::SIP::Dispatcher object managing the proxy. rewrite_contact Callback which is used in rewriting Contact headers. If one puts user@host in it should rewrite it and if one puts something without '@' it should try to rewrite it back (and return () if it cannot rewrite it back). A working default implementation is provided. nathelper Optional Net::SIP::NATHelper::* object. When given it will be used to do NAT, e.g. if the incoming and outgoing legs are different it will rewrite the SDP bodies to use local sockets and the nathelper will transfer the RTP data between the local and the original sockets. force_rewrite Usually the contact header will only be rewritten, if the incoming and outgoing leg are different. With this option one can force the rewrite, even if they are the same. METHODS
receive ( PACKET, LEG, FROM ) PACKET is the incoming packet, LEG is the Net::SIP::Leg where the packet arrived and FROM is the "ip:port" of the sender. Called from the dispatcher on incoming packets. The packet will be rewritten ("Via" and "Record-Route" headers added, Contact modified) and then the packet will be forwarded. For requests it can determine the target of the forwarded packet by looking at the route or if no route it looks at the URI. For responses it looks at the next Via header. do_nat ( PACKET, INCOMING_LEG, OUTGOING_LEG ) This will be called from receive while forwarding data. If nathelper is defined it will be used to rewrite SDP bodies and update nathelpers internal states to forward RTP data. Return values are like forward_outgoing in Net::SIP::Leg, e.g. it will return "[code,text]" on error or "()" on success, where success can be that the packet was rewritten or that there was no need to touch it.
