-Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want
29 
-to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help
30 
-you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH,
31 
-and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a
32 
-platform on which software developers can build new applications with
33 
-built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.
28 
+Tor covers your tracks on the web. When you connect to the Internet from
29 
+your computer, you leave a return address that's like a calling card,
30 
+everywhere you go. Even if you don't log into a site with a username and
31 
+password, you leave information on what IP address you came from and when.

-Tor aims to defend against <a href="<page overview>">traffic analysis</a>,
38 
-a form of network surveillance that threatens personal
39 
-anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships,
40 
-and state security.
41 
-Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers called
42 
-onion routers, <a
43 
-href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#WhatProtections">protecting you</a>
44 
-from websites that build profiles of your interests,
45 
-local eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit,
46 
-and even the onion routers themselves.
35 
+Since this is all the information that is usually needed to find out
36 
+who was on the other end of the wire, marketers, governments, and other
37 
+curious parties can trace you by tracing the activity associated with
38 
+your IP address.

+Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor &mdash; <a

48 
+law enforcement officers, soldiers, corporations, citizens of repressive
49 
+regimes, and just ordinary citizens</a>. We have a full page devoted

+to explaining exactly <a href="<page overview>">what Tor does, why this
51 
+diversity of users is important, and how Tor works</a>.

55 
+To quickly start using Tor, we recommend the
56 
+<a href="<page download>">Vidalia bundle</a>
57 
+as the easiest to install and get working.

+There are three pieces of fine print you need to know about.
62 
+First, Tor does not protect you if you do not use it correctly.
63 
+Read <a href="<page download>#Warnings">our list of warnings</a> and
64 
+make sure to follow the
65 
+<a href="<page documentation>#RunningTor">instructions for your platform</a>
66 
+carefully. Second, even if you configure and use Tor correctly,
67 
+there are still
68 
+<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RemainingAttacks"
69 
+>
70 
+potential attacks that could compromise Tor's ability to protect you</a>.
71 
+Third, no anonymity system is perfect these days, and Tor is no exception:
72 
+you should not rely solely on the current Tor network if you really need
73 
+strong anonymity.
74 
+</p>
75 
+
76 
+<p>
77 
+Tor works by bouncing your traffic around a set of relays run by
78 
+volunteers all around the world. Tor's security improves as its user
79 
+base grows and as more people volunteer to
80 
+<a href="<page docs/tor-doc-relay>">run a relay</a>. It isn't
81 
+nearly as hard to set up as you might think, and can significantly
82 
+<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">
83 
+enhance your own security against some attacks</a>.
84 
+If running a relay isn't for you, we need
85 
+<a href="<page volunteer>">help with many other aspects of the project</a>,
86 
+and we need funds to <a
