How to be anonymous online with Incognito

“Whether you’re an anarchist, a covert operative or just someone
who wants to exercise their digital rights and hide your online
activity, with Incognito you can encrypt your IM conversations and
emails, browse securely without the fear of cookies and the browser
history revealing your secrets, and best of all, the traffic
doesn’t reflect in your router logs.

“Apart from these methods that keep you safe from those around
you, also on offer is Tor, which sits at the centre of Incognito to
obscure your online traces. Tor bounces your internet traffic in
such a manner that your IP address, which can be traced back to
your physical location, is hidden from the outside world. With Tor,
you can anonymise web browsing, instant messaging, SSH, and other
applications that use the TCP protocol.

“The first thing you’ll need to do is download the Incognito
Live CD then reboot your PC with the disk in your drive. If you
find your PC booting into its normal OS, make sure your BIOS is
configured to boot from the CD/DVD drive before your hard
drive.”
