The Onion Router
I've been messing around with TOR lately, and I've managed to get it working with a few applications, (mIRC, IE, etc. . .), on top of using the Torpark portable web browser.
I wanted to ask my fellow geeks. . . err. . . "technology buffs" out there if any of you have used TOR, or if you've heard anything about it? To me, it seems pretty good, and fairly secure, but that's only my opinion, based on my limited experience with it. Anyone have recommendations, horror stories, general pros and cons, etc. . . to share?

If using a TOR client, the cons are,
1, tooooo slow.
2, sites can check if the requests are from TOR exit node.
3, TOR server sites can be government servers setup to track down troublemakers/hackers.
4, doubts about security, well your usernames and passwords go thru several TOR servers.
5, well ...... don't know any....
TOR Server,
1, God knows what happens if some terrorist hacks thru your server.
2, so never setup as server....
