EVERTHING ABOUT TOR

 WHAT IS TOR? HOW TOR WORKS?

Tor or The Onion Router allows anonymous use of the internet velling the actual identity of the user. 

It protects the user from any traffic analysis and network spying.

Tor is perhaps the most secure option available for anonymous internet connectivity.

Tor is based on the principle of 'onion routing' which was developed by Paul Syverson, Michael G. 

Reed and David Goldschlag at the United States Naval Research Laboratory in the 1990s.

The alpha version of Tor named 'The Onion Routing Project' or simply TOR Project was developed by Roger Dingledine and Nick Mathewson, launched on September 20,2002. Further development was carried under the financial roof of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

The Tor Project Inc. is a non-profit organization that currently maintains Tor and is responsible for its development. It is mainly funded by the United States Government, further aid is provided by the Swedish Government and different NGOs and individual sponsors.
