jrblack317,

Well, I downloaded Tor and Privoxy the other night... seem to work on my XP box... haven't tried them on my Slack box yet, but (since Tor was originally released for *nix) I'd imagine it works ok...

As far as reading the logs - well, under Windows, Tor just fires up... looks like Privoxy keeps all of the logs... and those seem pretty straight-forward... just shows what sites you've visited, etc (i.e. requests, etc.)...

A downside though - Tor+Privoxy slow down my broadband connection quite noticeably... of course, I *never* do *anything* wrong anyway, so I don't necessarily need to use a proxy... (ZenCoder suggested Tor in a previous post, which is the only reason I tried it out anyway)

Another pain in the ass is the fact that your IP will change consistently while they're running- which is great for anonymity, but sucks when you're browsing sites like AO and have to login every other minute...

Anyway, proxies definitely have their purpose and place... but for general browsing, I prefer to leave them off...
