The Onion Router

The Onion Router (Tor) is a technology that enables anonymous internet browsing by routing your online activity through a network of volunteer-operated servers. As your data passes through multiple layers of encryption and relays, it obscures your IP address and location, making it difficult for others to track your activities or identify you. This layered approach, like layers of an onion, enhances privacy and security, allowing users to access censored content, communicate securely, or browse without revealing personal details. Tor is widely used for protecting privacy, journalism, and circumventing internet restrictions.
