    Sorry if my first topic, would be something that you have spoken some time ago. But I have searched and didn't find something exactly that :). Also it is late time for me, so I can make mistakes. My question is:

    I search a way to browse the Internet anonymously and safely ( I want to be safe on my e-banking )

    I have read the comment below article here http://www.instructables.com/id/Go-Online-without-Getting-Snooped-Tor-The-Onion-/

    Also you can check this link for a little more information http://arstechnica.com/security/new...or-to-collect-government-e-mail-passwords.ars

    Tor working principle https://www.torproject.org/images/htw2.png , we see that the last one computer can see what we do on internet.
    What about HTTPS? If I use HTTPS in this way am I safe? It's my main question :)

    Also what about proxies, I see they can do this too. So we may need to buy an expensive and trustworthy proxy.

    Never, ever EVER use Tor for banking or anything like it. Tor is fine for every day use (albeit very slow..you may end up not tolerating it), but nowhere near suitable for sensitive jobs.
