Tor for Windows 5.5.1
Software Product Description
Tor is a toolset for organizations and people that want to improve their
safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize
Web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other
applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on
which software developers can build new applications with built-in
anonymity, safety, and privacy features.
Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers,
called onion routers. Instead of taking a direct route from source to
destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway
through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer at any
single point can tell where the data came from or where it´s going. This
makes it hard for recipients, observers, and even the onion routers
themselves to figure out who and where you are. Tor´s technology aims to
provide Internet users with protection against "traffic analysis," a
form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and
privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state
security.
