Tor       >encrypts and anonymizes your connection by passing it through 3 relays. Relays       >are servers operated by different people and organizations around the world.       >A single relay never knows both where the encrypted connection is coming from       >and where it is going to:       > The 1st relay only knows where you are coming from but not where you are       > going to.       > This 3rd relay only knows where you are going to but not where you are       > coming from.       > The connection to the final destination is encrypted whenever possible to       > prevent the 3rd relay from reading its content.       >This way, Tor is secure by design even if a few relays are malicious.       >The Tor network has more than 6 000 relays. Organizations running Tor relays       >include universities like the MIT, activist groups like Riseup, nonprofits       like       >Derechos Digitales, Internet hosting companies like Private Internet Access,       and       >so on. The huge diversity of people and organizations running Tor relays       makes it       >more secure and more sustainable.       >See also:       > Connecting to the Tor network       > Why does Tails use Tor?       >Avoid online surveillance and censorship       >Tor prevents someone watching your Internet connection from learning what you       >are doing on the Internet.       >You can avoid censorship because it is impossible for a censor to know which       >websites you are visiting.       >If connecting to Tor is blocked or dangerous to use from where you are, for       >example in some countries with heavy censorship, you can use bridges to hide       that       >you are connected to the Tor network.       >Avoid tracking and change identity       >Tor also prevents the websites that you are visiting from learning where and       who       >you are, unless you tell them.
