Tiny Wireless Device Offers Tor Anonymity
Lucas123 writes: The Anonabox router project, currently being funded through a Kickstarter campaign, has surpassed its original $7,000 crowdfunding goal by more than 10 times in just one day. The open source router device connects via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable making it harder for your IP address to be seen. While there have been other Tor-enabled routers in the past, they aren't small enough to fit in a shirt pocket like the Anonabox and they haven't offered data encryption on top of the routing network. The device, which is being pitched as a way for consumers to securely surf the web and share content (or allow businesses to do the same), is also being directed at journalists who may want to share stories in places where they might otherwise be censored.
The casual user will set this up and then log into Facebook and check their gmail. Totally secure!!! Absolutely anonymous!
Oh, and don't forget the cross-domain 'Flash cookies'!

One of the kickstarter rewards for buy the device is...
"Get your name on the sponsors page of our website"
I got a little chuckle at the irony in that.
