If you need a better proxy server that can do a lot more than Tor, Vidalia or Privoxy you should try Advanced Onion Router. The app is open source, which means that it is free, but also that you can get its source code if you are an advanced user and you need it for some reason. Developer Albu Cristian boasts that Advanced Onion Router can be an alternative of the mentioned programs and he has a point, because it is one very capable application. But most of the features are complicated and best used by advanced users, so you should trust the developer that it can replace other products, because it acts as more than a proxy server.

Advanced Onion Router includes many features, like for example it can use UNICODE paths and it has support for HTTP proxy protocols. One of the functions that we liked was that it can use Read-only mode, which means that you can start any media in a mode that will not write anything on your hard drive. The app can also make a list of banned servers and addresses, which means that you can also block ads and unwanted Internet content.
Interface
The interface of Advanced Onion Router is a bit simplistic, but it contains a lot of features, which makes it somewhat hard to use. In the left part of the main window of the app you have a list of features that you can use and which open like tabbed buttons. The buttons open their main functions in the left part of the screen where you can adjust them according to the function that they perform. At the bottom of the main window of the program you have some additional buttons that can be used to save the settings, change your identity, minimize to tray or to connect and disconnect.

When you activate it you can point at any process that is running at the moment and the program will show you additional information about the process.
