    Internet Freedom

  • FreeNet
    "This tool basically creates a p2p world wide web, where each person functions as a node, and stores and distributes information from other nodes. One can insert data into Freenet and retrieve information without fear of being censored. What makes this tool principally different than other p2p tools is, among other things, that it places anonymity first. Your ISP or the government can't read what you've inserted or retrieved."

  • Java Anonymity Project
    "A distributed proxy which allows you to browse the regular internet anonymously. One should be aware, however, that the German government recently ordered this project to put in a backdoor so the police could see if some people were accessing illegal websites. This backdoor has been recently removed though, while awaiting a judicial inquiry into the service, so while JAP may be anonymous at the moment, it is best to use special care, as one never knows when the government has secretly ordered the project to monitor connections."
