Tor can be used for different purposes, but the general sense - it is a safe and anonymous use of the Internet. onion can not be blocked by the ISP as it is a pseudo-domain, and access to it is only possible through the Tor network. The Tor network recognizes these domains and redirects the traffic within its network.ĭomains. Such hidden service will work through special pseudo-top-level domains. Access hidden server is only possible when using a Tor client. Tor allows to provide anonymity to servers. This is due to the random change of nodes in Tor network.ĭue to the periodic change of the Tor network nodes is achieved by anonymous.

If you use Tor for a while, you will notice that the output IP address changes periodically. Therefore, all programs able to work through the Socks protocol, can operate through Tor network. The analogy of how clean the onion in layers. Intermediate and output nodes are also coming. The entry node decrypts the "top layer" cipher and learns the next node to send a data packet. The data packet is sent to the entry node of the Tor network. Green arrows - the data transmission is encrypted.ĭata is encrypted sequentially three keys before sending. Tor client downloads a list of Tor nodes. The user runs the Tor client on your computer. Statistics taken from the official website of the Tor Project. Your IP address will belong to the output nodeīelow is the statistics - 10 countries which the most active use of the Tor network.
