Privacy is a priviledge.Tor browser features.Part 3

    Tor also makes it possible for users to hide their locations while offering various kinds of services, such as web publishing or an instant messaging server. Using Tor "rendezvous points," other Tor users can connect to these hidden services, each without knowing the previous network's identity. This hidden service functionality could allow Tor users to set up a website where people publish material without worrying about censorship. Nobody would be able to determine who was offering the site, and nobody who offered the site would know who was posting to it. Learn more about configuring hidden services and how the hidden service protocol works. Staying anonymous     Tor can't solve all anonymity problems. It focuses only on protecting the transport of data. You need to use protocol-specific support software if you don't want the sites you visit to see your identifying informat...

Privacy is a priviledge.Tor Browser info. Part 2

 The Alternative : a distributed, anonymous network    Tor helps to reduce the risks of both simple and sophisticated traffic analysis by distributing your transactions over several places on the Internet, so no single point can link you to your destination. The idea is similar to using a twisty, hard-to-follow route in order to throw off somebody who is tailing you — and then periodically erasing your footprints. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several relays that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going.     To create a private network pathway with Tor, the user's software or client incrementally builds a circuit of encrypted connections through the network. The circuit is extended one hop at a time, and each relay along the way knows only which...

Privacy is a priviledge.Not a right!

    Security on the web is becoming a concern for everyday users. Routine browsing of the internet leaves a trail. To be frank, it paints a detailed impression of the person's interests, habits, activity timestamps,purchase records and of course their friends.       Educating People On Demand is sustained by the credible sources I have discovered through research and engagement via the internet. This vessel,like most information networks, has it's drawbacks. What about Privacy!?!!?!!! Sharing is overrated.      Solution:TOR Tor was originally designed, implemented, and deployed as a third-generation onion routing project of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory . It was originally developed with the U.S. Navy in mind, for the primary purpose of protecting government communications. Today, it is used every day for a wide variety of purposes by normal people, the military, journalists, law enforcement officer...
