Your data is bundled into an encrypted packet when it enters the Tor network. The Tor network runs through the computer servers of thousands of volunteers (over 4,500 at time of publishing) spread throughout the world. Tor’s use is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities from being monitored. Using Tor makes it more difficult for Internet activity to be traced back to the user: this includes “ visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms”. Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network consisting of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user’s location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. The name is derived from an acronym for the original software project name “ The Onion Router”. Tor is free software for enabling anonymous communication. They also won’t be able to tell which country you’re in by analyzing your IP address, which can be very useful for journalists, activists, businesspeople and more.
Using Tor’s software will make it difficult, if not impossible, for any snoops to see your webmail, search history, social media posts or other online activity.
Tor is an Internet networking protocol designed to secure the data relayed across it.
