index.html   26) <p>

index.html   27) Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want

index.html   28) to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help
index.html   29) you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH,

index.html   30) and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a
index.html   31) platform on which software developers can build new applications with
index.html   32) built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

en/index.wml 36) Tor aims to defend against <a href="<page overview>">traffic analysis</a>,

en/index.wml 37) a form of network surveillance that threatens personal

en/index.wml 38) anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships,
en/index.wml 39) and state security.

en/index.wml 40) Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers called
en/index.wml 41) onion routers, <a
en/index.wml 42) href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#WhatProtections">protecting you</a>
en/index.wml 43) from websites that build profiles of your interests,
en/index.wml 44) local eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit,

en/index.wml 45) and even the onion routers themselves.

index.html   47) 
index.html   48) <p>
index.html   49) Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as

en/index.wml 50) more people volunteer to run servers.  Please consider

en/index.wml 51) <a href="<page volunteer>">volunteering your time</a> or

en/index.wml 52) <a href="<page docs/tor-doc-server>">volunteering your

en/index.wml 53) bandwidth</a>.

index.html   54) And remember that this is development code—it's not a good idea to rely

index.html   55) on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.

en/index.wml 75) <li>Jan 2007: The Tor network has grown to hundreds of thousands of
