1. But what can I do with it? Who would use such a device!?

4. There are many applications for the anonabox that have nothing to do with personal privacy. Perhaps you own a coffee shop or hotel where you provide free Internet access to your customers. With typical wireless access hardware a single hacker can check into your Hotel or Cafe , log on to the free wifi and collect all the personal information of all the other customers using your Internet connection.
5. With the anonabox, all the customers are segregated from each others use just as their web traffic and information is kept separate from your physical location and address. Routing the traffic from that wifi over Tor can help prevent your customers Internet use from being traced back to you, but it also keeps your customers safe from each other.

9. Perhaps you just want to share your Internet connection with your neighbors or roomates in your dorm, but you don't want your neighbors and their kids to be able to get into all your computers and network and you don't want to have their web browsing habits tied to you and your physical location.

11. With an anonabox you can safely allow Internet access to anyone and not have to worry that they might be using it in ways you don't like, or gaining access to your home computer network.

15. Another use for the anonabox is viewing content that is restricted to your location. Lets say you want to watch a baseball game or listen to a radio program live as it streams on the web, only when you go to the website for the radio show or game you find out they have blocked you specifically just because they want to try to force you to listen with a regular radio or pay a seperte subscription fee. With normal Internet you would see an error message saying something like
16.  
17. "sorry we don't let anyone from <your location> to listen to or view this"
18.  
19. By plugging in a anonabox and connecting to it, your physical location is going to appear to them as a completely different place. From the websites perspective you might appear as a visitor from the Netherlands or Indonesia or New Zealand. Since your location to them doesn't appear to be coming from a place they are trying to block, you are free to listen to the show or watch the game hassle free.

23. Lets say you are a journalist trying to get a story out to your publisher in a country where they have attempted to shut down or limit access to the Internet. The websites and email addresses of your contacts and correspondents are all being blocked by a firewall on a huge scale and there is no way to relay information to the outside, even twitter and facebook are blocked! If you have a anonabox, you can just plug it in and connect and you have full, uncensored access to the real Internet again and the story goes out.

25. You!

27. Tor is used by many different groups of people for many different things too numerous to mention here, but for a more complete list of reasons to use Tor and the people who use it you can see a list here.
