Whats new in version 00.19.001:
- New features:
- Windows: new JAP.exe now calls java library directly, not java.exe any more; show "JAP" in task manager
- added library option to completely disable http header processing
- added farsi translation (many thanks to Mostafa!)
- Added a function to set the block timeout, i.e. the timeout an interface of a cascade is blocked, if an error occurred during connection.
- This is helpful for allowing faster reconnects for debugging purposes:
- support for new bouncyCastle crypto library
- open portable browser only with empty tab
- Bug fixes:
- fixed problem with http header procsssing
- some minor stability patches (closed some open streams)
- Other:
- removed http header filtering completely, as it does not provide a significant security gain, but hinders JonDoFox development
- code reformatting
Publisher review:JonDo has been designed from the ground up to act like a web proxy and it will automatically forward all your computer's internet traffic via a cascade of interconnected proxies, thus effectively hiding your IP address.
JonDo is developed using the Java programming language, it is an open source solution, therefore its privacy enhancing techniques can be closely analyzed by any skeptical user that doesn't completely trust the app's development team.
Moreover, JonDo can be used for free by anyone but, if you want full speed browsing, unrestricted proxy cascades as well as full anonymisation of your web traffic, you should use a premium account.
Although the JonDo suite provides an anonymous proxy, it does NOT and will NOT change any of your system settings for you. Thus, users have to manually configure the proxy settings for each of their Internet enabled apps in order to have their identity protected.
Furthermore, unlike other online anonymization services which in most cases will restrict your computer's Internet access to web surfing, JonDo does no such thing.
On the contrary, JonDo provides extra ways of making yourself invisible to avoid leaving traces on the Internet, like sending anonymous e-mails or taking part in chats with all data sent between your client and the other party automatically anonymized by JonDo.
Requirements:Operating system:Mac OS X 10.3 or later
