Introduction
To keep anonymous you cannot use only a VPN and think you are safe, that's not how it works. Most of the software developers are holding logs or are distributing because you use their tools. People made (most of the time open-source) software to keep you anonymous because privacy is a right and is very important. We are going to have it about the tools and software that are avaible for Windows and Linux. We are going to introduce you the most known or best tools to use, we are going also to give examples that are good and bad so you can learn from it for the next time, also to note all software that is provided in the tutorial is free to use.

Description: Free software for enabling online anonymity. Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than four thousand relays to conceal a user's location or usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace Internet activity, including "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms", back to the user and is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential business by keeping their internet activities from being monitored.

Descrption: TrueCrypt is a source-available freeware application used for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE). It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or encrypt a partition or (under Microsoft Windows except Windows 2000 and Windows 8 with GPT) the entire storage device (pre-boot authentication). This means you can crypt your hard-disk so nobody else can check out wich files you got on your hard-disk.
