My OperaTor: An anonymous Internet communication system

The software that was created as a anonymity tool seems to have one more, much more interesting use.
TOR seems to be quite useful for people behing corporate gateways, that usually have a very limited amount of ports open. At the University where I study, we have only 2 ports (FTP, HTTP) open, therefore, a lot of problems with streaming content, abnormal website addresses have arisen. TOR has solved the problem, by the way, bandwidth is not that bad, you should try it out.
Moreover, the software is free of charge. The only shortcoming is having to share your traffic with others, but, again, you will, most probabably, not have to do that being behind a corporate gateway.
