Interesting, as I did install Tor, together with OperaTor, a while ago, for Firefox, but then I began to see negative reports about it,
regarding various things, such as privacy 'leaks' and so on, so I only tried it the once, so didn't really get much of a feel for it, so I can't really say what I thought about it.
Also, when a VPN, claims something like:
'At ItsHidden.com we create a connection called a VPN. This is a secure connection that encrypts all your information and is not readable
by anyone else, so wherever you are your privacy is always maintained! There is no software required and ItsHidden.com works on all Platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, IPhone etc

This is using: - 128 Bit Secure Connection to ensure privacy over all networks.
Are you saying that this is not true?
For example, I could connect to the VPN and from there, go to a web-based anonymizing proxy service, such as
http://www.crazycam.org/web-proxy/
and once there, I could then enter another web-based proxy into the address bar, of the crazycam site, such as:
http://www.bypassblocked.info/
which looks like:
http://www.crazycam.org/web-proxy/index....slM0QmYj01
in the browser address bar, which shows the crazycam proxy, but the VPN and the second anonymixer isn't readable to me anyhow.
From the last anonymizer, I could then go to the end-site, that I wanted to access.
VPN -> Anonymizer1 -> Anonymizer2 -> End site.
So, I'm just wondering how my ISP, or anybody else, can see what I am doing, when at least at ItsHidden,
they seem to make it clear, that 'all the information, is not readable by anyone else?'
On a blog site about Tor, they include this:
Encryption doesn't mask how much you say, when you say it, etc.

But it doesn't exactly say that it is not encrypted, it just says it doesn't mask how much is said.
I would be pleased to find out, the actual truth here, because there seem to be conflicting opinions about this matter.
