![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tor is based on the principle of ‘onion routing’ which was developed by Paul Syverson, Michael G. Tor’s intended use is to protect the personal privacy of its 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 to trace Internet activity 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. ![]()
