Onion Browser este o aplicatie disponibila de ceva vreme in App Store-ul companiei Apple, iar principalul sau rol este de a ne face anonimi pe internet. Aplicatia foloseste infrastructura Tor pentru a ne anonimiza, orice website vizitat de catre noi recunoscand doar IP-urile Tor si nu pe cel al nostru.
Partea interesanta este ca Onion Browser securizeaza conexiunea noastra de internet, astfel ca nimeni nu va putea citi informatiile transmise de catre aplicatiile neprotejate, iar in cazul retelelor care blocheaza anumit continut, ei bine totul va va fi deschis.
- Internet access tunneled over the Tor onion router network:
- Websites do not see your real IP address.
- Your connection is encrypted before it leaves your device, providing protection against snooping by ISPs or people who share a WiFi connection with you.
- Tunnel bypasses restrictive firewalls: you can access the entire Internet from behind ISPs or corporate connections, or when inside countries that practice online censorship.
- Access websites on the “dark net” of anonymous .onion web sites, only accessible in the Tor network.
- User-Agent spoofing option can the fact that you are using an iPhone/iPad from websites you visit.
- Ability to block third party cookies or all cookies.
- Can change IP address and clear cookies/history/cache in one button.
In ciuda acestor importante beneficii, viteza de conectare la internet va fi semnificativ redusa din cauza conectarii la infrastructura Tor, deci va trebui sa traiti cu acest lucru.
