Kickstarter on Friday suspended a crowdfunding campaign for Anonabox, a portable networking device designed specifically to run Tor. The campaign for the privacy-minded router, which launched earlier last week, was wildly successful. In just a few days, it reportedly garnered more than $600,000 in pledged funds from thousands of backers. The Kickstarter goal for the $45 device was just $7,500. By Thursday, however, an acrimonious debate had arisen over some of the project creators’ claims.
Atleast we still have the TOR USB device PriveDrive, its development team seems to be doing a great job.
