I used to browse with Tor, Peerblock, and a program called Hot Spot Shield.
Is there an equivalent to all of these programs available to me for a linux based system?

Re: Questions on Browser Anonymity
Well I found Tor no problem, but I really would love to find a Peerblock...

Re: Questions on Browser Anonymity
I found this possibility HERE in Wikipedia
HERE is a Source forge reference for obtaining the program. (PPA instructions and tarball download links.)iplist is a Linux application for blocking connections to and from a specified range of hosts using the netfilter netlink-queue library. Iplist is an open source IP filtering program similar to PeerGuardian for Linux. The blocklist formats used are the same as for PeerGuardian, provided mainly by B.I.S.S.
There is a GUI available for iplist called IPblock.

Re: Questions on Browser Anonymity
Hello,
I realize this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has got IPblock running on Mint. I've just defected from Ubuntu (because of Unity and the new GDE) and am enjoying getting to know Mint. I dual boot with Lucid and IPblock works perfectly there--but in Mint, whenever I try to enable it I receive
"iplist[11902]: error: can't find level1.gz"
I've searched this at some length via Google but there's nothing specifically pertinent to Mint.
Any help would be much appreciated.

minease:
I looked at the site http://iplist.sourceforge.net/download.html and it doesn't look like it has been developed beyond Lucid. The Debian packages are over a year old too. Keep in mind that Mint11 is based on Natty so it is probably not going to work on anything after Mint9.

Re: Questions on Browser Anonymity
I happen to have reinstalled Mint 11 today and tried again to install IPblock via the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530183
(using the link for Maverick)--it seems to be working perfectly now.
I had deleted Mint to try Xubuntu 11.10 with Xfce DE--big mistake. I'm back to Mint to stay unless Ubuntu makes a serious U-turn. Thanks, Mint developers--what a great relief.
**EDIT** P.S. Thanks, all, for the responses--sorry I didn't get back sooner.
