Anonymous Networks

Anonymous networks are communication systems designed to conceal users' identities and locations, ensuring privacy and protecting against tracking or surveillance. They accomplish this by routing data through multiple servers or nodes, making it difficult to trace the origin or destination of the information. This technology is often used for sensitive communications, activism, or to bypass censorship. Examples include Tor (The Onion Router), which anonymizes internet browsing. By obfuscating user identities, anonymous networks promote privacy and free expression while also posing challenges for law enforcement and security efforts.
