+About the company:<br>
155 
+ The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to research,
156 
+ development, and education about online anonymity and privacy. The Tor
157 
+ network's 3000 volunteer relays carry 16 Gbps for upwards of half a
158 
+ million daily users, including ordinary citizens who want protection
159 
+ from identity theft and prying corporations, corporations who want
160 
+ to look at a competitor's website in private, people around the world
161 
+ whose Internet connections are censored, and even governments and law
162 
+ enforcement. Tor has a staff of 14 paid developers, researchers, and
163 
+ advocates, plus many dozen volunteers who help out on a daily basis. Tor
164 
+ is funded in part by government research and development grants, and
165 
+ in part by individual and corporate donations.
