Tech For Aware

Tor Browser (The Onion Router) is a free, open-source web browser designed to defend against network surveillance, traffic analysis, and unauthorized profiling. Built on top of a modified version of Mozilla Firefox ESR, it routes web traffic through a decentralized, volunteer-operated proxy network that makes tracking a user's location, identity, and browsing behavior exceptionally difficult.

Rather than connecting your device directly to a website's server, Tor encrypts your traffic in layers (like an onion) and bounces it through a randomized circuit of three volunteer nodes (relays): Entry (Guard) Node: The first stop in the circuit. It sees your real IP address but cannot see where you are ultimately going or the contents of your payload. Middle (Relay) Node: Serves as a buffer. It only knows the IP of the entry node and the exit node, keeping them isolated from each other. Exit Node: The final hop...
