en/index.wml  32) <p>Tor is a software project that helps you defend against <a
en/index.wml  33) href="<page overview>">traffic analysis</a>, a form of network
en/index.wml  34) surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential

en/index.wml  35) business activities and relationships, and state security.
en/index.wml  36) Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed
en/index.wml  37) network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents
en/index.wml  38) somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you

en/index.wml  39) visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical
en/index.wml  40) location.

en/index.wml  41) Tor works with many of your

en/index.wml  42) existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging

en/index.wml  43) clients, remote login, and other applications based on the 

en/index.wml  44) TCP protocol.

en/index.wml  45) </p>
en/index.wml  46) 

en/index.wml  47) <p> Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor for a
en/index.wml  48) wide variety of reasons: journalists and

en/index.wml  49) bloggers, human rights workers, law enforcement officers, soldiers,
en/index.wml  50) corporations, citizens of repressive regimes, and just ordinary

en/index.wml  51) citizens.  See the <a href="<page torusers>">Who Uses Tor?</a> page for

en/index.wml  52) examples of typical Tor users.
en/index.wml  53) See the <a href="<page overview>">overview page</a> for a

en/index.wml  54) more detailed explanation of what Tor does, why this diversity of

en/index.wml  55) users is important, and how Tor works.

en/index.wml  59) There are three pieces of fine print you need to know about.

en/index.wml  60) </p>

en/index.wml  61) <ol>
en/index.wml  62) <li>Tor does not protect you if you do not use it correctly.

en/index.wml  63) Read <a href="<page download>#Warning">our list of warnings</a> and

en/index.wml  64) make sure to follow the
en/index.wml  65) <a href="<page documentation>#RunningTor">instructions for your platform</a>

en/index.wml  66) carefully.</li>
en/index.wml  67) <li> Even if you configure and use Tor correctly, there are still

en/index.wml  68) <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RemainingAttacks"

en/index.wml  69) >

en/index.wml  70) potential attacks that could compromise Tor's ability to protect
en/index.wml  71) you</a>.</li>
en/index.wml  72) <li>No anonymity system is perfect these days, and Tor is no exception:

en/index.wml  73) you should not rely solely on the current Tor network if you really need

en/index.wml  74) strong anonymity.</li>
en/index.wml  75) </ol>

en/index.wml  76) 
en/index.wml  77) <p>

en/index.wml  78) Tor's security improves as its user

en/index.wml  79) base grows and as more people volunteer to

en/index.wml  80) <a href="<page docs/tor-doc-relay>">run relays</a>. (It isn't

en/index.wml  81) nearly as hard to set up as you might think, and can significantly

en/index.wml  82) <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RelayAnonymity">

en/index.wml  83) enhance your own security against some attacks</a>.)

en/index.wml  84) If running a relay isn't for you, we need
en/index.wml  85) <a href="<page volunteer>">help with many other aspects of the project</a>,
en/index.wml  86) and we need funds to <a

en/index.wml  87) href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#Funding">continue

en/index.wml  88) making the Tor network faster and easier to use while maintaining good
en/index.wml  89) security</a>.
