JonDoConsole

JonDoConsole is a client for JonDonym that can also work as a telnet interface for remote sessions. It is the console-based counterpart of JonDo, providing a convenient way to change the IP address of the host computer via the command prompt.

Designed to work similarly to a proxy server, JonDoConsole can encrypt the Internet traffic and forward it to mix cascades, which results in the concealing of the computer's real identity. Before using it, you need to keep in mind that, although it provides an anonymity tool, it does not change your system's settings. In other words, if you want a certain application to reroute its traffic via proxy, you still have to configure it manually to do so.

To start JonDoConsole via the command prompt, you must type in the following command: "java -jar JonDoConsole.jar [options]". There are various options you can choose from, among which you can find commands to change the configuration, set the daemon process, and so on.

Once JonDoConsole is running, you can see all its commands by using "help". The option that should interest you most is the "choose" command, which reveals a list of the available cascades you can reroute your Internet traffic to and thus hide your identity when navigating on the Internet. With a premium account, you get access to premium cascades. To change the cascade the PC is forwarding traffic to, you just have to type in "switch".

JonDoConsole can also be launched as a daemon in the background, using the remote controller Telnet interface.
