Tor relays

Tor relays are servers that help anonymize internet activity by routing your data through multiple, randomly selected nodes before reaching its destination. When you use Tor, your connection is bounced through at least three relays: an entry node, a middle node, and an exit node. This process masks your IP address and encrypts your data, making it difficult for anyone to trace your online actions back to you. People use Tor for privacy, security, and accessing censored content, relying on a network of volunteer-operated relays to maintain their anonymity.
