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.

  TorK 0.30
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
      o If firstrun wizard cancelled, then cancel
out of TorK and re-run it
        next time Tor is run.
      o Detect netfilter properly on more recent
linux kernels.
      o German Translation updated by "Hans-J.
Ullrich" 
      o Remove 'Change Identity' from main
toolbar. It's available in the OSD
        and the systray menu instead.
      o Always de-configure server if 'Client'
option selected.
      o Wait twenty seconds before assuming there
is a problem
        connecting to Tor.
      o Improve the handling of tor installations
in the first run wizard
      o Make stream-handling much more efficient
for heavy loads
      o Fix
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=502155
    Minor Features
      o Add warning when tork is configured to
expect privoxy to be running at
        startup but there is no sign of it
      o Add feature to let Tor shut down
gracefully.
      o Ensure server settings are set correctly
when launching Tor from
        Tork (as opposed to just connecting).
      o Add option to toggle between display of IP
address and server name
        in server list.
      o Only display konqueror in application list
if it exists.
    Known Bug Not Fixed Yet:
      o If router discovered and connecting to
remote/local tor, server
        settings may be applied even if user
requests not to.

  TorK 0.29.1
    Bug Fixes/Feature Fixes
     o Forgotten cstdlib include from Patrick
Matthei.
	 o Fix crash when attempting to update Tork.
	 o Update tork from
http://downloadtork.anonymityanywhere.com.
     o getpeername() patch from weasel for
torksocks.
     o Controlport was getting protected with a
random password

  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).
