TOR stands for The Onion Router, a free, open-source software that enables anonymous communication over the internet. It is designed to protect users' privacy and security by routing internet traffic through a series of volunteer-operated servers, known as nodes or relays, that encrypt and re-encrypt the data multiple times, making it very difficult to trace back to the original user.

- Onion routing is the technology behind the TOR (The Onion Router) network, and it is designed to provide anonymous communication over the internet. +
- It works by encrypting data in multiple layers, similar to the layers of an onion, and then routing it through a network of servers (nodes) to ensure that the origin, destination, and contents of the communication are hidden from potential eavesdroppers. +
- This process helps to obscure users' IP addresses, making it difficult for anyone to track their online activities or locate them. +
