Tor Network
xB Browser works by routing Internet traffic through several "onion" servers, obscuring the originating IP address and encrypt the data. This does not naturally provide anonymity for other Internet programs, only the xB Browser. However, other applications data such as Pidgin can be routed through the Tor network via xB Browser by directing the applications traffic to a SOCKS proxy at localhost, port 9050. This port can be changed via xB Config, an INI generator for xB Browser.
Because of the complexity of Tor and its configuration, the xB Browser is preconfigured and requires no additional technical knowledge to use the Tor network.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
