Since any network surveillance relies heavily on the information about the source and destination of data, this technique makes it much harder to trace any network activity to the source.
Then the final relay decrypts the innermost layer of encryption, sending the original data to its destination while keeping the IP address of the source hidden. Tor applies encryption to different user data multiple times while sending it through a circuit of successive, randomly selected Tor relays.Įach relay decrypts a layer of encryption to reveal the next relay in the circuit to pass the remaining encrypted data onto it. Encryption is used at every level of the application layer in Tor Browser’s communication protocol stack (just like the layers of an onion). Now let’s get into some more granular detail. Thanks to the onion routing technique, it’s considerably more difficult for a third party to trace individual user activity. This allows Tor to direct internet traffic through a massive global overlay network, thereby hiding its users’ location and other information about their activity - on the dark or surface web. Short for “The Onion Router,” Tor is based on a technique called onion routing.
(We trust you’re no criminal, so this shouldn’t matter!) How Does Tor Browser Work? So while Tor is legal for the most part - except in China, where it’s forbidden, and in Venezuela, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Turkey, and Egypt, where it’s restricted - it can be used to perpetrate illegal activity. Of course, criminals infiltrating the dark web - to exchange information, sell services, or run illegal marketplaces - could theoretically form another user category. military organizations, including the US navy, use Tor. These are issues often faced by journalists and human rights activists working in regions of the world with repressive regimes.
Then you need a group of people who you can trust 100% to give information and only they have when you need it if you ever do get caught. Buy a new device in cash, assume a whole new identity and then possibly 25 miles or more from your last location continue with what you are doing.Īt this point you can vere stop assume new identities and locations while never having anything on you that can identify you as you. Then at that point if you have the money you never use that device again, wipe it clean and destroy it and continue on your way. Back up what data on something that can easily be destroyed and not likely to be recovered. That is just the beginning, to be as safe as possible without ever being discovered you pretty much can never stay in one area for more than a few hours at best and just assumes you are being tracked because you likely are if you are online. Throw your computer out of the window, never connect a device to the internet ever, and have many personalities that never are identified as you.
