index.html   27) <h2>Tor: An anonymous Internet communication system</h2>

index.html   29) <p>

index.html   30) Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want

index.html   31) to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help
index.html   32) you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH,

index.html   33) and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a
index.html   34) platform on which software developers can build new applications with
index.html   35) built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

index.html   39) Your traffic is safer when you use Tor, because communications

en/index.wml 40) are bounced around a distributed network of servers, called

en/index.wml 41) <a href="<page overview>">onion routers</a>.
en/index.wml 42) Tor's technology aims to provide Internet users with protection against
en/index.wml 43) "traffic analysis," a form of network surveillance that threatens personal
en/index.wml 44) anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships,
en/index.wml 45) and state security.

en/index.wml 49) Instead of looking at the content of your communications, traffic analysis
en/index.wml 50) tracks where your data goes and when, as well as how much is sent.
en/index.wml 51) Tor aims to make traffic analysis more difficult by preventing websites,
en/index.wml 52) eavesdroppers, and even the onion routers themselves from tracing your
en/index.wml 53) communications online. This means Tor lets you decide whether to identify
en/index.wml 54) yourself when you communicate.

index.html   55) </p>
index.html   56) 
index.html   57) <p>
index.html   58) Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as

en/index.wml 59) more people volunteer to run servers.  Please consider

en/index.wml 60) <a href="<page volunteer>">volunteering your time</a> or
en/index.wml 61) <a href="<cvssandbox>tor/doc/tor-doc-server.html">volunteering your bandwidth</a>.

index.html   62) And remember that this is development code—it's not a good idea to rely

index.html   63) on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.

en/index.wml 66) <p><b>We are now actively looking for new sponsors and funding.</b>

en/index.wml 67) If your organization has an interest in keeping the Tor network usable
en/index.wml 68) and fast, please <a href="<page people>">contact us</a>. Sponsors of Tor
en/index.wml 69) also get personal attention, better support, publicity (if they want it),
en/index.wml 70) and get to influence the direction of our research and development!

en/index.wml 71) Previous funders include <a href="http://www.onr.navy.mil/">ONR</a>,
en/index.wml 72) <a href="http://www.darpa.mil/">DARPA</a>, and the <a
