Vidalia

Vidalia is a cross-platform GUI (graphical user interface) for the Tor software project, which allows users to surf anonymously online. Built using the Qt framework, Vidalia can start and stop Tor, view its status at a glance, and monitor bandwidth usage. Vidalia also makes it easy to contribute to the Tor network by helping you set up and manage your own relay.
