-    Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to

-    improve their privacy and security on the Internet.  It also enables

-    software developers to create new communication tools

-    with built-in privacy features.  Tor provides the foundation for

-    a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals

-    to share information over public networks without compromising their

-    privacy.

+    The Tor network is a group of <a href="<page

+    getinvolved/volunteer>">volunteer</a>-operated servers that allows people

+    to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Tor's users employ

+    this network by connecting through a series of virtual tunnels rather than

+    making a direct connection, thus allowing both organizations and

+    individuals to share information over public networks without compromising

+    their privacy. Along the same line, Tor is an effective censorship

+    circumvention tool, allowing its users to reach otherwise blocked

+    destinations or content.  Tor can also be used as a building block for

+    software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy

+    features.
