## translation metadata # Revision: $Revision$ #include "head.wmi" TITLE="anonymity online" <!-- SIDEBAR (OPTIONAL) --> <div class="sidebar"> <a href="<page download>"><img src="$(IMGROOT)/download_tor.png" alt="Download Tor" /></a> <br /> <a href="<page overview>"><img src="$(IMGROOT)/how_tor_works_thumb.png" alt="How Tor Works" /></a> <div class="donatebutton"> <a href="<page donate>">Support Tor: donate!</a> </div> </div> <!-- END SIDEBAR --> <div class="main-column"> <!-- PUT CONTENT AFTER THIS TAG --> <h2>Tor: anonymity online</h2> <hr /> <p>Tor is a software project that helps you defend against <a href="<page overview>">traffic analysis</a>, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Tor protects you by encrypting your communications and bouncing them around a distributed network of servers. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the Internet's TCP protocol. </p> <p> Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor for a <a href="<page whousestor>">wide variety of reasons</a>: journalists and bloggers, human rights workers, law enforcement officers, soldiers, corporations, citizens of repressive regimes, and just ordinary citizens. See the <a href="<page overview>">overview page</a> for a more detailed explanation of what Tor does, why this diversity of users is important, and how Tor works</a>. </p> <p> (There are three pieces of fine print you need to know about. First, Tor does not protect you if you do not use it correctly. Read <a href="<page download>#Warnings">our list of warnings</a> and make sure to follow the <a href="<page documentation>#RunningTor">instructions for your platform</a> carefully. Second, even if you configure and use Tor correctly, there are still <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RemainingAttacks" > potential attacks that could compromise Tor's ability to protect you</a>. Third, no anonymity system is perfect these days, and Tor is no exception: you should not rely solely on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.) </p> <p> Tor works by bouncing your traffic around a set of relays run by volunteers all around the world. Tor's security improves as its user base grows and as more people volunteer to <a href="<page docs/tor-doc-relay>">run relays</a>. (It isn't nearly as hard to set up as you might think, and can significantly <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity"> enhance your own security against some attacks</a>.) If running a relay isn't for you, we need <a href="<page volunteer>">help with many other aspects of the project</a>, and we need funds to <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#Funding">continue making the Tor network faster and easier to use while maintaining good security</a>. <a href="<page donate>">Please donate.</a> </p> <a id="News"></a> <h2><a class="anchor" href="#News">News</a></h2> <hr /> <ul> <li>Oct 2007: As many of you know, The Tor Project became an <a href="<page people>">independent and official nonprofit</a> this past February. We did this so we could accept grants from groups who only donate to NGOs, and so our donors could deduct qualifying <a href="<page donate>">donations</a> made to us. <br /> We'd like to extend our profound thanks to the <a href="https://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> for their past support, fiscal sponsorship, and help in hosting some of our web pages, and for their continued mentorship of and counsel to our fledgling nonprofit organization.</li> <li>Aug 2007: <strong>Please update your Tor software!</strong> The latest versions (stable: 0.1.2.17; development: 0.2.0.6-alpha) patch a significant security vulnerability. See the <a href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Aug-2007/msg00000.html">release announcement</a> for more information.</li> <li><b>We are actively looking for new sponsors and funding.</b> If your organization has an interest in keeping the Tor network usable and fast, please <a href="<page contact>">contact us</a>. Sponsors of Tor also get personal attention, better support, publicity (if they want it), and get to influence the direction of our research and development.</li> </ul> </div><!-- #main --> #include <foot.wmi>
