You can have speed, or you can have security. Pick one.

Hello 3gr2k,

Personally I recommend just running the latest version of Liberte via a Live CD.

As I'm sure that you know, the speed of TOR is a side-effect of its security, but slow browsing speed doesn't necessarily mean more safety. TOR could somewhat easily be made faster without sacrificing security. It's mainly slow because there is limited bandwidth on relays inside of the system. Donating to relay providers, and allowing your connection to be used as a relay will both speed up the network. More relays also means fewer nodes that LEO controls, which is good.

Here's a fun thing to do to. It's a TOR relay built out of a Raspberry Pi board: http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Tor-relay/?ALLSTEPS
