The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) just announced that it has become a financial sponsor of Tor, an open-source project to help people ‘engage in anonymous communication online.’ TOR is like a simpler version of Freenet, e.g. ‘a network-within-a-network that protects communication from … traffic analysis.’Unlike Freenet TOR has access to the Internet the source-code is freely available and binaries exist for Windows, Linux, etc
