#1 in Privacy Online
Tor is free, open source technology, honed over 10 years of research and development by Tor’s team of security researchers and software developers.
Tor is one of the most effective technologies to protect your privacy online and ensure your personal online security stays in your control.
The Reality
Internet Service Providers (such as BT and Verizon), websites (such as Google and Facebook), and governments use a common form of Internet surveillance known as IP address tracking to monitor conversations over public networks.
News sites may promote different articles based on your location.
Shopping sites may use price discrimination based on your country or institution of origin.
An average person is tracked by over a hundred companies that sell profiles to advertisers.
Your social media activity can be revealed and used against you by malicious individuals.
Freedom
The landscape of the Internet is in a constant state of change, and trends in law, policy, and technology threaten anonymity as never before, undermining our ability to speak and read freely online. Countries are watching each other as well as their own citizens, blocking websites, watching traffic content, and restricting important world news.
How Tor Works
The Benefits of Anonymity Online
Alice encrypts her web page request to Bob three times and sends it to the first relay.
The first relay removes the first encryption layer but doesn't learn that the web page request goes to Bob.
The second relay removes another encryption layer and forwards the web page request.
The third relay removes the last encryption layer and forwards the web page request to Bob, but doesn't know that it comes from Alice.
Bob doesn't know that the web page request came from Alice, unless she tells him so.
