ACCESS ANYTHING ANONYMOUSLY USING TOR
The most common misconception about Tor is that it’s a network designed for criminal activities: it’s actually completely legal and was originally funded by the US government. Tor’s real purpose is to provide anonymous communication, and there’s no better tool for protecting your privacy online. The Tor Browser, now in its eighth version not only encrypts and reroutes your web traffic, but deletes cookies and browsing history after each session, blocks harmful scripts and unsafe connections, and disguises your IP address so that no one can see who or where you are. Unlike a VPN, Tor has no central service you need to trust to enjoy the web privately, which makes it essential for anyone who wants anonymity, from journalists, whistle blowers and activists to web users who are concerned about data theft, surveillance and censorship.
In this feature, we explain how to use Tor in the most
secure and private way possible, whether to browse
websites without being tracked or check out ‘onion’
services that can only be accessed through Tor Browser.
