Helps protect you from “traffic analysis”—a type of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, as well as the confidentiality of business contacts and communications.
The service ensures protection by routing your network traffic through a distributed network of servers operated by volunteers worldwide. This prevents external observers monitoring your Internet connection from knowing which websites you visit and also prevents websites from determining your physical location.
The program works with many existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging systems, remote access clients, and other applications that use the TCP protocol.
Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor for various reasons: journalists and bloggers, human rights organizations, law enforcement officers, military personnel, corporations, residents of countries with repressive regimes, and ordinary citizens.
