ON, is a software tool designed to provide anonymity and privacy for users when browsing the internet. It addresses the problem of online traceability by allowing users to surf the web without revealing their unique computer address, making it difficult for websites, internet service providers, or network eavesdroppers to determine which user accessed which website. " Users can select from different Mix cascades, and all internet traffic is encrypted and shared among multiple users, further obscuring individual activity.
The tool is available for multiple operating systems, including Windows, Macintosh, OS/2, and Unix/Linux, and can be downloaded in versions that support Java Web Start. JAP enables users to choose Mix cascades based on detailed information about the operators and number of organizations involved, with cryptographic verification of this information. The Mixes are typically run by independent institutions that commit not to store or exchange logs of user connections, enhancing the privacy guarantees.
JAP was initially released as a free download and, at the time referenced, was transitioning to a commercial phase managed by a company called JonDos, with a commitment to continue supporting free services alongside paid ones. The commercial service operates on a prepaid basis, ensuring that users are only charged with their knowledge and consent. The tool originated as a research project and continues to be developed, with support resources such as online help texts, FAQs, mailing lists, and forums available to users.
As a member of the class of anonymity and privacy software, JAP is intended for users seeking to enhance their online privacy and prevent their internet activities from being monitored or traced by third parties.
