TOR (The Onion Router) - Make your IP Adrdress Untraceable

  ADVERTISEMENTS

TOR is The Second-Generation Onion Router, distributed free under the 3-clause BSD license. Main objective of Onion Routing (OR) is to protect the privacy of the sender and recipient of a message, while also providing protection for message content as it traverses a network. Normally if you use a secure tunnel an observer can still see the destination and origin ip addresses. TOR uses a series of encrypted hops to hide this information. By routing traffic through a series of nodes, TOR makes it difficult for the receiver, observers and even other TOR routers to detect the source of traffic.

TOR also provides a feature called “Hidden Services” that allow you to run a web server and get a TOR address. TOR anonymize and hide the IP address of the actual web server.

TOR is a great idea, I personally recommend this used to improve safety and security on the Internet, don’t abuse it with hack sites, terrorist sites, and child pornography sites.

    Singapore’s ministry of information and communications (the irony) is currently blocking all sites related to downloading tor in singapore on the internal ’singapore lan’. is there any way to circumvent this?

    You need someone to email it to you. But I’m not sure if that will work, if the ministry is controlling Singapore ISPs.

    Can somebody upload to a hosting site? I can’t right now.

    The blocking service is server-based, it is beyond control of users. Like what Anonymous said, you need someone to email it to you.

    Singapore is definitely not blocking anyone from downloading TOR on any of the 3 ISPs.

    [...] Running your system through the tor network should in theory work; however, it is difficult to use and setup. Plus, you allow others to run their evil deeds through your system as well by using this system. [...]
