Privoxy: web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, filtering web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
TorProject: a free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication. The name is derived from an acronym for the original software project name "The Onion Router".
TorBrowserLauncher: it is intended to make the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) easier to maintain and use for GNU/Linux users. torbrowser-launcher handles downloading the most recent version of TBB for you, in your language and for your architecture. It also adds a "Tor Browser" application launcher to your operating system's menu.
Torsocks: allows you to redirect network traffic of individual SOCKS-friendly applications through the Tor network. It also ensures DNS queries are handled correctly and explicitly blocks all UDP traffic from the application in question. It is possible that a given application can leak user/system data at a level that neither Tor nor torsocks can control, a 100% guarantee of being safe to operate with Tor can not be given for applications.
apt-transport-tor: provides support in APT for downloading packages anonymously via the Tor network.
obfs4proxy: attempts to circumvent censorship by transforming the Tor traffic between the client and the bridge. This way censors, who usually monitor traffic between the client and the bridge, will see innocent-looking transformed traffic instead of the actual Tor traffic.
Tor anonymity network and Privoxy non-caching system are configured already in Pars Enterprise Platforms whenever you decide to use these applications:
- KDE System Settings > Network Settings > Use manually specified proxy configuration >> Exceptions 127.0.0.1, localhost
- KDE System Settings > Network Settings > Use Manually Specified Proxy Configuration > Socks Proxy >> IP 127.0.0.1, Port 9050 (This will be Connected via Tor Project)
- KDE System Settings > Network Settings > Use Manually Specified Proxy Configuration > HTTP – SSL - FTP Proxy >> IP 127.0.0.1, Port 8118 (This will be Connected via Privoxy)
- You may mentioned that current anonymous network sometimes get so slowly by this way the internet connection speed is very important.
- The modified proxy system can disable anytime in Programs Menu > Settings > System Settings > Network Settings > No Proxy
