SelekTOR: A Frontend GUI For Tor Browser (Bypass Country Restriction)

Tor is a free software designed to make communication anonymous. Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network consisting of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Tor makes it more difficult for Internet activity to be traced back (Warning: still possible). Tor's use is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities from being monitored.

SelecTOR is a frontend GUI for the Tor application. It is free for Linux and open-source based on Java released under license GNU GPL-2, it acts as a Tor launcher and exit node chooser for browsers that support system proxying using PAC files. It can be used for security and anonymization purposes or to bypass some firewall. Simplifies the process of selecting Tor exit nodes and manages selective URL pattern based on routing via system proxying.

Features:

• Support for Google Chrome, Chromium, Firefox and most Mozilla based browsers without the need for add-ons.
• Can be used with Privoxy.
• You can quickly select Tor exit nodes by country.
• Greatly simplifies the usage and configuration of Tor in client mode, SelekTOR does most of the hard stuff for you.
• Nodes are now filtered to ensure that they support both HTTP & HTTPS, and thus ensuring greater reliability when used with web browsers.
• Will continuously monitor and maintain a connection to the exit node with the best response time, with as little downtime as possible when switching.
• As well as proxying all traffic through the active Tor node, SelekTOR can also do selective routing of traffic through the active tor circuit based on URL patterns.
