Description:
 TorK is an Anonymity Manager for KDE.

For information about Tor: http://tor.eff.org

TorK allows you to configure, run and update Tor.
It also allows you to view the Tor network and
choose how you would like to interact with the
network.

TorK contains a number of unique/useful features:

* A graph of your tor and non-tor traffic.
* A quickstart page for launching torified
applications.
        See
https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=159836

* A hidden services wizard that allows you to
create and publish hidden 
services.

* A drag-and-drop view of the Tor network. Create,
modify and close circuits. 
Attach and detach streams manually from circuits.
Click on servers to view 
their full details.

* Exit node blocking/preferring by country and
server name.
 See 
https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=159836&ssid=45119

* Tor and Non-Tor traffic logs - showing you the
traffic that is going through 
Tor and the traffic that is not. The Tor traffic
log maintains a record of 
the circuit you used for each connection. Both
logs are maintained in memory 
only and can be flushed by the user at any time.

* A turn-on-and-off-able mini-view that shows you
the traffic currently going 
through Tor - including destination, status, and
exit node's name and 
country.

* Passive pop-ups alerting you to important Tor
events, such as changes to  
your server status, DNS leaks, errors reported by
Tor.

* Quick configuration - six default configurations
available for getting Tor 
running the simple and easy way.

* Full access to all Tor configuration options.
