 Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.
Tor aims to defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance
that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities
and relationships, and state security. Communications are bounced around a
distributed network of servers called onion routers, protecting you from
websites that build profiles of your interests, local eavesdroppers that read
your data or learn what sites you visit, and even the onion routers themselves.
Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as more people
volunteer to run servers. Please consider volunteering your time or volunteering
your bandwidth. And remember that this is development code—it's not a good idea
to rely on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.
