Tor enables user’s greater anonymity online by encrypting internet traffic and passing it through a series of nodes. The Tor Browser is a web browser that anonymizes your web traffic using the Tor network, making it easy to protect your identity online. Today, most of the funding for this project is provided by the US Department of Defense, but there are other supporters’ as well digital rights lobbyist the Electronic Frontier Foundation, journalism and community body Knight Foundation and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. Tor was originally developed by the US Navy in the mid-1990s. The name derived from the acronym for the original software project name “The Onion Router”. Tor is free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication. We recently had a post about the dark web that mentioned the Tor project.
