Router Makes You Anonymous Online, Skirts Censorship – Kickstarter Project

If you’re not sure whether anonymity online is important, just take a look at this new Kickstarter project, which has already raised $283,000 of its $7,000 goal.

It’s called Anonabox, and it’s an open-source networking device that routes wireless and wired Internet traffic through Tor software. Tor is free and works by first encrypting your digital data and then bouncing it around the Internet through random computers.

You don’t need Anonabox to get Tor, but for guarding against any activity outside of Web browsing, Tor can be a little complicated for the average online privacy-seeker.
