The TOR project (The Onion Group) is an initiative sponsored by several altruistic information security experts, providing you with a system to protect your identity and anonymity while surfing the Internet.
The program modifies the way in which the information that you send flows through the network by providing a routing system that hides your data from your service provider, so that the pages you visit, your credentials, and your browsing history can remain anonymous.
The pack includes two main elements. The first is its own control panel to connect to the Tor network which you will have to activate each time you want to surf anonymously. The other is a modified and portable version of Mozilla Firefox with several special features to take advantage of this system.
Tor uses are diverse. The stream of scandals revolving around the loss of Internet privacy have caused many users try to take steps to avoid the constant monitoring of their activity. You can also use it to avoid regional blocks on certain sites.
