<title>Secure Connections</title>

If personal information such as a login password travels
 unencrypted over the Internet, it can very easily be intercepted by an
 eavesdropper. If you are logging into any website, you should
 make sure that the site offers HTTPS encryption, which protects against
 this kind of eavesdropping. You can verify this in the URL bar: if your
 connection is encrypted, the address will begin with “https://”, rather
 than “http://”.

 The following visualization shows what information is visible to
 eavesdroppers with and without Tor Browser and HTTPS encryption:
