Tor: An anonymous Internet communication system

Ever heard about tor? Well, some of you may use proxy as the anonymous toolset to surf the internet. Same goes to tor, but the method is different. For proxy, the only medium between user and the internet is the proxy itself. By using tor, the connection goes through a random path between any other tor users. For example, if A want to connect to D, the connection will pass through B & C. But B & C don’t know that A is connecting to D.This project originally sponsored by the US Naval Research Laboratory,and became an Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) project in late 2004.
