Title: Advanced Onion Router: is anyone using?
Post by: TrustusJones on May 06, 2012, 04:50 am
I was over at Sourceforge looking at Firewall software when I stumbled on this:

Advanced Onion Router  http://sourceforge.net/projects/advtor/

Is anyone using it? would like to see some reviews from the more tech conscious  of this community.

Thanks!!
TJ

I have not heard of this before but it seems to have some of the functionality of LASTor , primarily AS awareness. I think AS awareness is an awesome feature and honestly I think it should be included in the standard Tor package, I used to think it was but it actually is not. I would be extremely extremely hesitant about using anything other than the mainstream tor client, unless it gets the Tor Project seal of approval, and I think LASTor is more likely to get that than this is, especially since it has had papers on it published on freehaven and came out of a university
