It directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network, consisting of more than seven thousand relays, to conceal a user"s location and usage from anyone performing network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace a user"s Internet activity. Tor"s intended use is to protect the personal privacy of its users, as well as their freedom and ability to communicate confidentially through IP address anonymity using Tor exit nodes.]]></item>
