The Tor Project offers a web browser that allows anyone to use the Internet while obfuscating the location of the user, and keeping traffic encrypted and secure en route, thus enabling a level of anonymity. Tor is highly popular in countries with pervasive Internet censorship and surveillance, allowing users to circumvent government firewalls while hiding the origin of their traffic.

What’s more, the browser is a staple for journalists, activists, people in witness protection programs, and everyday users who are safer and more confident online with the level of anonymity Tor provides. In fact, at EFF we encourage the use of Tor and hope that people continue to set up relays to help make the network more robust.
