Vidalia is a cross-platform controller for Tor (The Onion Router) for network anonymity, built using the Qt toolkit. It allows the user to start, stop, and view the status of Tor, monitor bandwidth usage, view, filter, and search log messages, and configure some aspects of Tor.

The most feature of Vidalia is its Tor network map, which lets the user see the geographic location of servers on the Tor network, as well as where the user’s application traffic is going.

You can even dynamically change your paths (hops) and create a new identity for each connection.

Vidalia is released under the GPL. It runs on any platform supported by Qt 4.1, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux or other Unix-like variants using the X11 window system.
