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.

Matthei.

	 o Update tork from
http://downloadtork.anonymityanywhere.com.
     o getpeername() patch from weasel for
torksocks.

  TorK 0.29
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Speed up pop-up windows
     o Block plaintext ports (23,110,109) and warn
user. User can elect
       to allow the plaintext port for the rest of
the session.
     o Quick Bandwidth Configuration in System
Tray a la KTorrent.
     o Fix first-run wizard to allow proper
configuration of system-managed
       privoxy. This should save users the bother
of manually configuring
       a packaged, auto-starting privoxy
installation to work with Tor.
     o If TorK attempts to launch Tor but finds an
instance already running,
       only display the helpful pop-up message
(asking if you want to just
       connect to the already running instance)
and not the subsequent,
       confusing one (reporting the failure to
bind to localhost:9050 as
       some sort of a bug).

  TorK 0.28
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Always apply settings when OK or Apply
clicked on configuration
       dialog. Some of the more exotic settings
were not getting applied
       in some situations.
     o The non-anonymous settings (e.g.
cookies,javascript) were not getting
       restored properly in some cases. This was
due to an eccentricity in
       KConfig.
     o Be a little more aggressive with UPnP.
Silently re-apply port
       forwarding to the UPnP router when (i) Tor
tells us it has failed
       reachability tests, (ii) whenever the user
presses play.
     o Always enable torbutton when launching
firefox. 
     o Always show a padlock on SSL connections in
the stream display.
    Minor Technical Stuff
     o Add some missing includes for Debian
packaging. (Thanks to Patrick
       Matthai)
     o Change the build script so that we have an
SSL_LIBS parameter to use
       with shallot when it's integrated.
     o Some extra configure checks for OpenBSD.
(Thanks to kuburosso).
