<p>Tor's tools and technologies are already used by millions 
of people to protect their activities online.  These
users include journalists and human rights workers in politically
rigid countries communicating with whistleblowers and dissidents.
Law enforcement officers on Internet sting operations stay
anonymous with Tor, as do people wanting to post socially
sensitive information in chat rooms, like rape or abuse survivors
and those with illnesses.  The Tor network also provides
protection for people looking for another layer of privacy from
the millions of websites and ISPs bent on collecting private
information and tracking their moves online.</p>

<p>Tor welcomes your support through purchasing of Tor branded items and
through the consistent donations of thousands of individuals through our
<a href="<page donate>">various methods of donation</a>.  </p>

<h2>ABOUT THE TOR PROJECT</h2>

<p>Based in Walpole, MA, The Tor Project
develops free and open-source software that provides online
anonymity to the everyday Internet user. Tor was born out of a
collaboration with the U.S. Naval Research Lab starting in 2001,
and it became an official U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2006. The
Tor Project now works with many individuals, NGOs, law
enforcement agencies, and businesses globally to help them
protect their anonymity online.</p>

<p>In addition to its efforts developing and maintaining the Tor
anonymity software and the Tor network, The Tor Project also
helps to lead the research community in understanding how to
build and measure scalable and secure anonymity networks. The Tor
developers publish several new research papers each year in major
academic security conferences, and just about every major
security conference these days includes a Tor-related paper.  Tor is a
project-funded organization with eight full-time staff.</p>
