Is there oss for hiding ones ip address while online with fedora/mozilla? I've been reading about encrypted proxies but they seem a bit slow if the proxy is in another country which I like since it would be harder to track.
And information or links would be nice, Thanks

You want an anonymous proxy, but not necessarily an encrypted one. See proxy.org for a list.

Be very careful if what you are doing is against the law in your country. (Or is going to have very serious consequences for you, especially if people with a lot of resources will have incentive to try to connect you to whatever you are doing through the proxies.)
The protection from proxies isn't guaranteed. They can be subject to orders from law enforcement to track IPs. Traffic analysis can be used to connect your IP address to that of the sites you are connecting to. Information can leak in what you are doing with the network connection and provide a way to connect you with what you did.
Note that using a proxy may draw attention to yourself. If there are only a few people who might be doing whatever it is you are doing, being the only one to use an anonymizing proxy might make it obvious you are the one doing things.

Yep... I read a blog post claiming that a significant percentage of the tor exits are in fact owned and run by the NSA. Which makes perfect sense when you think about it.
