What is Tor Network?
Tor is a free and open sourced network that was designed to anonymize the data. It can direct the Internet traffic through a worldwide volunteer overlay network to conceal user’s location and activities. In other words, this anonymous communication method can successfully give any intended parties a hard time to gather your information such as mails, search history or any kind of online activities.
How does it work?
Tor Network runs through more than 6,000 volunteer relays (according to the metrics from the official page) spread around the world. Then, it routes user’s traffic through different nodes in order to conceal the real initiated point of the connection. After that, Tor encrypts the data once it enters its network and then bundles such information into an encrypted packet. Most important of all, Tor strips away a part of the addressing information which could be possibly used to learn things about the user and also encrypts the rest of the data.
