Dialup problmes
anyone knows why Torpak refuse to run (proxy problem) when using dialup? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.221.64.2 (talk • contribs).

Firefox Logo - trademark issue
Please see Talk:Portable Firefox for details. I have left the Firefox TOC in due to usage on the Portable Linux site, but consider it incorrect, in the strict sense of the image agreement. Could anyone clarify this? -see Template_talk:Firefox_TOC Widefox 01:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

shouldn't this be with hacktivismo's article as hacktivismo did it? - nopassw0rd

my bad, didn't realise this was co-released, sorry bro -nopassw0rd

anonymous to who?
couple bits i couldn't tell from the article: to whom does torpark anonymize one? one's isp? one's dhcp provider? lurkers along the pipeline? and who is the one? if one were to plug a portable browswer with torpark into someone's computer, would one be anonymous to the owner of the computer? would that owner be observable to have accessed internet resources that one has, or would that owner be the one who is anonymized? -:)Ozzyslovechild 04:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You could still be Keylogged, if that's what you mean 134.83.1.225 07:13, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

CODC Mention?
Shouldn't somebody mention that this is a Cult of the Dead Cow product, producers of the infamous Back Orifice software? Or is hactivismo considerd non-lethal these days? That is to say: are there trust issues here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.114.196.13 (talk • contribs).


 * What part of "Steve Topletz co-released Torpark v.1.5.0.7 with CULT OF THE DEAD COW/Hacktivismo on 19 September 2006." doesn't make it clear that it was released by cDc? --Myles Long 19:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

CdC and TRUST
It's an open source project. CdC merely integrated two open source projects to increase usability. While Back Orifice could be used maliciously, it was also open source advertised its functionality honestly. Any controversy regarding anonymity software should probably be covered in an article focusing on anonymity and the net. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.9.243.111 (talk • contribs).

MERGE
I propose TorPark and Torpark be merged, as they're about the same thing. Anybody know what the correct capitalisation is for this? --h2g2bob 15:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This one is right, I'll merge it in if there's anything thats needed. --h2g2bob 15:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Premium Service
I notice Torrify.com is now also offering some kind of "premium" (i.e. paid) anonymizing service. I don't know how (or if) it's connected to Torpark itself. Torrify redirects to this article, so it should probably get a mention here. ManaUser 06:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

License issues
As far as I know, TESLA is neither free software nor open source license in the sense of FSF/OSI. Your comment "Neither "free" nor "open source" is trademarked or legally defined." is not valid -- there is generally accepted notions of free/open source software and TESLA doesn't met it. (E.g. the phrase "the best browser" is not trademarked too, but we can't write in the article that "Torpark is the best browser" only by such an argument). So we can write only "according to the authors claims, Torpark is free/open source software, but its critics says that its license doesn't met FSD/OSD and thus can't be named free/open source software". But it should go into the section "License controversy" and not be in the general definition of the term.

Domain Squatters?
torrify.com has been taken over by domain squatters, we need a new URL for download. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.194.119.107 (talk • contribs).
 * It's not domain squatters. They're rebranding as XeroBank. . --Myles Long 23:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

XeroBank Browser
Torpark has been rebranded as XeroBank Browser. See. Specifically, "What's up with Torpark? Does that have a new name too? Yes. It will be known as XeroBank Browser." --Myles Long 00:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow, that sucks. They look corporate. My mistake. JoeSmack Talk 00:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No worries. It's no more corporate than Torrify, imo, just a different name.  The software's still free.  --Myles Long 13:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Free?
the xero bank website linked from this article offers 3 versions of the software. the cheapest one is 96$. so how is it free? if there are other software downloads on the internet for torpark then it should retain its own page and have links to those sites placed on it. but, if xerobank is the only distributer and of this software and they charge for it then the free software portal should be removed from this page as well as all mention of this software on other pages concerning free software. am i mistaken?75.57.101.53 16:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems to me that the software is still downloadable for free from xerobank.com. The anonymity service costs money, but the software is free on this page (click the "Download Now" button).  --Myles Long 17:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Real browser
Is this actually a real browser, or just Firefox with some changes? They even use the Firefox logo!  Hel pslo ose   23:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * They put the Firefox logo on just to fool you, it's actually a clone of Internet Explorer.209.29.94.114 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Refference threads from Steve Topletz
Please see those threads, there are lots of interesting info from Steve Topletz about XeroBank and the policy of the firm, I believe this should be considered to be included on this article:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=176514

Please note that Steve have mentioned Wilders Security on his blog, Portable Privacy: http://www.portableprivacy.net

Which was also linked a while ago on the XeroBank.com website. Steve have given many explanations about how xB works, and what it does, and how he manage to deal with many things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.70.91.143 (talk) 23:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
