Anonymous Web surfing with TorK

Fri, 16 May 2008 18:00:00 GMT
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.

filetea(8)						      System Manager's Manual							filetea(8)

NAME
filetea - Web based file sharing service daemon SYNOPSIS
filetea [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the filetea command. FileTea is a Web service that provides instant and anonymous file-sharing using only a standard browser as client. Unlike traditional Web based file-sharing services, FileTea does not store files server-side. Instead, files are just routed on-the-fly from seeder to leecher, through the server. filetea is the service daemon that runs on a FileTea server. It handles peer synchronization, file routing and status reporting; and also acts as web-server for static HTML content when run in standalone mode. OPTIONS
-h, --help Display a brief summary of the command-line options and their default values. -c config, --conf=config Absolute path for the configuration file to use, default is /etc/filetea/filetea.conf. -D, --daemonize Run the service in the background. -p port, --http-port=port Port to listen on for plain HTTP service, overriding the value specified in configuration file. -P port, --https-port=port Port to listen on for secure HTTP service (https), overriding the value specified in configuration file. FILES
/etc/filetea/filetea.conf Filetea config file. AUTHOR
