I prefer UltraSurf, provides more or less the same thing.

I think Tor is too slow. Downloading large files takes forever.

I use relakks in stead. It’s not free but every time you sign up you get a few weeks for free. (No, you don’t have to give them your credit card info or anything.)

You can control which nodes you use for entry/exit by specifying them within the torrc file. To get the fingerprint for a node, you can visit a Tor status site and view the details for the node(s) you want to use for entry/exit.

It does tend to run slow, although I think it is much better now than it was in the past. It is probably best to use when you wish to visit certain sites, but is probably still a bit slow for everyday use.

Is it possible to control the location of the last node?
For instance, I live in Russia and it would be nice if tor gived me a russian ip:
• site policies for local and non-local visitors may differ;
• some big sites that are available in many languages often showup in one that i can’t understand.

I tried out Tor back in the day with Torpark (now called xB, I think) and another “secure portable browser.” It seemed a great idea, but I always found it far too slow to actually use. Did you have speed issues?

Check out the Portable Tor project. Just download and extract it to your Portable drive and launch PortableTor.exe (assuming you're on Windows). This will launch the Vidalia GUI and Privoxy and connect you to the Tor network. You will still have to download and install the Tor button for Firefox seperately.

Is itpossible to configure Tor with Firefox 3 portable? So I can launching from a USB flash drive If so; is there a tutorial about how to do it?
Thank you

This is true. If you are an advanced user, you do not need to use Vidalia. The bundle just makes it much easier to get Tor up and running and provides a simple interface.

Yes, essentially that’s exactly how it works. If someone were to perform some sort of activity that would result in an IP ban, it would effect the last Tor node.

You don’t need the Tor bundle, since Vidalia is not needed to use Tor. You could download one of the “expert” packages and the Tor button separately and have it startup at boot time, and use the torbutton in Firefox to toggle it on and off.

Can’t someone mask themselves as the last Tor node and do whatever they want? Won’t it effect the last Tor node? (i.e. an IP ban)
