Advanced Onion Router is a client for OR network and is intended to be an improved alternative for Tor+Vidalia+Privoxy bundle for Windows users. Before trying Advanced Onion Router, try the original Tor client (https://torproject.org) and read the available documentation to get familiar with Onion Routing and OR Network. You may find Vidalia easier to use. Some of the improvements of Advanced Onion Router include support for HTTP/HTTPS proxy on same Socks4/Socks5 port, a User Interface which makes all Tor available options more accessible, local banlist for forbidden addresses and the ability to "force" a program and its extensions / plugins to use the Tor proxy regardless of its configured proxy settings, and of course support for language files so translations can be loaded and the user interface translated into other languages. More features will be added in next versions.
What's New in This Release:
- all files were updated with changes from tor-0.2.2.34 relative to tor-0.2.1.30; all changes were corrected to remove goto's and some bugs were fixed; all file I/O operations were modified to support UNICODE paths; latest versions of Tor consider excluded nodes a banlist if "StrictNodes" is set - however, AdvOR already considered excluded nodes a "strict" banlist since 0.1.0.x, so "StrictNodes" is used only for favorites
