Tor (formerly named Onion Router) is free software that provides online anonymity.
The main implementation of Tor is written in the C programming language and consists of approximately 146,000 lines of source code.
During its operation, the Tor browser directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide network of more than three thousand links to hide the user's location and prevent any network tracking or traffic analysis. Using Tor significantly complicates the tracking of Internet activity, including visits to specific sites, sent and received Internet messages and other forms of communication. Tor browser is designed to protect the privacy of users, maintain their freedom and ability to conduct a confidential business.
