On the heels of my search privacy tips post Hactivismo comes out with Torpark a Firefox plugin that lets you surf anonymously.

Every few minutes, the Torpark browser causes a computer’s IP address to appear to change

Sounds good there.

uses encryption to send data over The Onion Router, a worldwide network of servers nicknamed “Tor” set up to transfer data to one another in a random, obscure fashion

That too.

Torpark’s user interface appears similar to Firefox with a few changes. It shows the current IP address that would be seen by Web sites in the lower right hand corner, and features a special “Flush Tor” button to reset a new, random server connection

Seems like a pretty nice tool in the fight for online privacy. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, if you do please let me know in the comments how it works.

    Even though Torpark is a portable application, there are many people who might be interested in trying it out who are not comfortable with a “no install” installation. Thus, I have created a Torpark installer and a step-by-step guide for using it.

    If anyone is interested, the installer and guide are available from http://www.dailycupoftech.com/?page_id=165.
