Tor-Enabled Browser For the iPad, and Easy Tor Nodes on EC2

[wraggster]

While there has been a port of Tor for jailbroken iOS devices for a long time, there was no way to use it if you did not want to lose your warranty. Now it looks like Apple has approved a Web browser for the iPad calledCovert Browser (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/covert-browser/id477438328?mt=8), which includes a Tor client. If you look at the first screenshot on the author's page (http://bsd.at/apps/CovertBrowser/) it looks like you can even select the Exit node. According to App Shopper it already hit place 64 in the iPad/Utilites category (http://appshopper.com/utilities/covert-browser)."And from another (of course) anonymous reader comes a link to CmdrTaco's take (http://cmdrtaco.net/2011/11/amazon-ec2-meets-tor/) on another instance of Tor breaking into the world of "real users." As he notes, the Tor Cloud Project (https://cloud.torproject.org/) has posted simple instructions for installing EC2 Tor nodes using free-tier VMs (or paid nodes for roughly $30/month)
