-<h2>Tor: anonymity online</h2>

-<hr />

-

-<p>

-Tor helps keep you anonymous on the Internet.  It transfers your

-communications around a worldwide set of servers.  This masks your

-destination and source locations.  This provides some protections from a

-variety of attacks from a variety of people and organizations on the

-Internet.  There are many reasons to use Tor. For example:

-</p>

-<ul>

-<li>You live in a country that restricts access to certain sites or services.

-Tor hides where you go on the Internet from your ISP,

-so you can access any Internet site.</li>

-<li>You live in a repressive state that monitors the content of your communications.

-Tor encrypts your data until it gets to an "exit node" that could be on another

-continent, making it very difficult to monitor the content of Internet communications.

-<li>You are an abuse victim who wishes to anonymously join a survivor discussion group.

-Tor ensures that your chats and emails are not traceable to your computer.</li>

-<li>You are a law enforcement officer or corporate user who needs to use email,

-websites, or chat

-without the recipients or server owners knowing who you are affiliated with.

-Tor masks where you are coming from, making it very difficult

-to figure out where you are coming from or who you are.</li>

-<li>You simply want some privacy concerning where you go, what you view, and what you do

-on the Internet. Tor hides your Internet use from your ISP, the servers and transit nodes,

-and prevents monitoring by anyone trying to see who is doing what on the Internet.</li>

-</ul>

-We have a full page devoted to explaining exactly <a href="<page overview>">

-what Tor does, why it is important, and how it works</a>.

-

-<p>

-To quickly start using Tor, we recommend the

-<a href="<page download>">Vidalia bundle</a>

-as the easiest to install and get working.

-</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.

-Make sure to follow the

-<a href="<page documentation>">instructions for your platform</a>

-carefully. Second, even if you install, configure and use Tor correctly,

-there are still

-<a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RemainingAttacks">

-potential attacks that could compromise Tor's ability to protect you</a>.

-Third, Tor is beta software, which means that it isn't done yet, and may

-contain serious bugs or design flaws that render it ineffective. You should

-not rely on Tor if you really need strong anonymity.

-</p>

-

-<p>

-Tor's security improves as its user base grows and

-more people volunteer to

-<a href="<page docs/tor-doc-server>">run a server</a>. It isn't

-nearly as hard to set up as you might think, and can significantly

-<a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">

-enhance your own personal security against some attacks</a>.

-If you can't run a server for some reason,

-we need funds to research attacks on the Tor network, improve performance, and develop

-new features to make Tor more reliable, secure, and speedy.

-<li>Aug 2007: <strong>Please update your Tor software!</strong>  The

-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>
