Tor Alternatives

Tor is described as 'Is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security' and is a leading anonymizing network in the security & privacy category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Tor for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and iPhone apps. The best Tor alternative is I2P, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Tor are Orbot, Hyphanet, Snowflake Tor and Shadowsocks.
