TOR :: PRIVATE BROWSING

> Tor Browser helps reduce tracking, surveillance, and censorship.
> Download it only from the official Tor Project website.

TL;DR: Use Tor Browser when you need stronger privacy than a classic browser. Download it from torproject.org and verify the signature when possible.

WHAT IS TOR?

Tor is a privacy network that sends your traffic through several volunteer-run relays before reaching the destination website. The website sees the Tor exit relay, not your real IP address.

Tor Browser is the easiest way to use the Tor network. It is built to reduce fingerprinting, isolate browsing activity, and make users look more similar to each other.

PRIVACY

Helps hide your real IP address from the websites you visit.

CENSORSHIP RESISTANCE

Can help access the open internet on restricted or filtered networks.

ANTI-FINGERPRINTING

Tor Browser includes protections designed to make tracking harder.

DOWNLOAD TOR BROWSER

The safest download source is the official Tor Project download page. Avoid third-party downloads, fake browsers, unofficial mirrors, and paid “Tor Browser” offers.

cluster@tor:~$ verify-download

1. Download Tor Browser from the official page.
2. Download the matching signature file.
3. Follow the Tor Project verification guide for your OS.
4. Install Tor Browser only after verification when possible.

VERIFY SIGNATURE

FIRST LAUNCH

1. Open Tor Browser.
2. Click Connect.
3. If Tor is blocked on your network, use Connection Assist or bridges.
4. Keep Tor Browser updated.
5. Do not install random extensions.

GOOD PRACTICES

Use the default Tor Browser window size when possible.
Do not add extra browser extensions unless you fully understand the risk.
Do not log into personal accounts if you want separation from your real identity.
Prefer HTTPS websites.
Keep Tor Browser updated.
Use bridges when Tor is blocked or heavily filtered.

Tor improves privacy, but it is not magic. Your behavior still matters. Logging into personal accounts, downloading unknown files, or sharing identifying information can reveal who you are.

TOR VS VPN

TOR

Routes traffic through multiple relays. Better for anonymity and censorship resistance, usually slower.

VPN

Routes traffic through one provider. Better for simple IP masking and untrusted Wi-Fi, but you must trust the VPN provider.
