Achieving anonymity online is a tough to near impossible task. One of the first suggestions of online anonymity is to use Tor which can only safely found through the direct website, https://www.torproject.org/ . Next is VPNs but only through the trusted ones and even then you must do your research and fully trust them in other to use the VPNs because using the wrong VPN means there could be logs of your internet usage.
But one problem with Tor is sometimes it is so rarely used that correlation attacks can be made on the few people who use it. For example, if you're the only person in the Ukraine who uses Tor even though you, yourself, is hidden, the Tor connection from the Ukraine is still visible and can still be traced back to you.
However, if a software or something could generate Tor usage from multiple locations and same or similar times in similar locations or could somehow route your location to somewhere else, there would be less risk of being discovered when you're using Tor. For there would be mutliple links to track. But how would this software or idea be put into play? Would it have to be like a Trojan? And it systematically activates a Tor connection? Or could it be open source and collaborative where people opt in like Stanford researchers do to unravel genetic folding? The opt in seems better and less risky. Also, there's also less risk of running afoul of powerful people, especially since one of the points of using Tor is to eliminate dangers.
