While using Tor, your location is concealed, so when you visit a website no one knows what you’re up to online. It changes the pathway every single time so it never is the same, making it nearly impossible to track your IP address, and in other words your online identity.
Putting it simply, the TOR network disguises your identity by bouncing your data, and internet requests across many TOR servers all around the world. However, they know that with time, in the future revengers would be able to take advantage of it as it was totally aligned with military-grade internet security and privacy. It was originally a worldwide network of servers developed within the US Navy in the early 90s to protect US intelligence communications online. It mainly dealt with many layers of heavy-duty encryption just like an onion.
Tor is a free software program short for The Onion Router. But what exactly is Tor? Here I give you the low-down. If you have any more questions, use the contact form and we'll answer it and add your question here.You may have heard the term Tor or maybe even the dark web. Thankyou Dan for providing this helpful service! More questions? We use the list of IP addresses from for our list of TOR exit nodes. Instead of overly-simplifying information about Tor any further, please have a look at the official Tor Project "About Tor" page for more information on who uses Tor and why. The idea is that if anyone is watching the traffic of one of the exit nodes (or tries to trace internet activity back to the source) they get to the exit node it came from but are unable to trace it further back through the mesh to the origin of the traffic. When data/information goes in one of the entry points, it bounces around a number of times before exiting one of the exit points. Tor consists of hundreds of entry/exit points and thousands of internal nodes arranged in a mesh-like fashion. The name "Tor" is derived from the project name: " The Onion Router". Tor is software designed to allow users to communicate anonymously.
