Activate Anonymity
To surf anonymously, JAP must first be started. Then, the button "On" in the "Anonymity" area must be activated. If the connection process was successful, the needle in the Anonym-O-Meter will show an indication. Furthermore, the number of users of the currently selected mix cascade is shown.
Anonym-O-Meter
The Anonym-O-Meter shows the user the current load of the anonymity service. This consists of:
Own anonymized Data
For the information of the user and to double check JAP's functioning, the amount of data transferred by the user via the anonymity service during the current session is shown.
Forwarder
With the forwarding function, you can allow other JAP users to connect to the anonymization service via your system. This is helpful if the other JAP user's internet provider or government has blocked access to the anonymization service.
Attention: There is a risk that you could be suspected of a crime that another JAP user commits if your system was used as the forwarding system for that crime.
Server
With JAP, it's possible to use various mix cascades to surf anonymously. For this purpose, you can choose any mix cascade of your choice. If you're not sure which one to use, simply use the default setting.
