Tor is software that allows users to communicate or access online content anonymously. When someone access Tor, the data is first bundled through encryption as it enters the Tor network. Unlike regular internet, Tor encrypts the information about the user’s actual address. The encrypted data is then routed through multiple Tor relays before being sent to its destination. When a relay receives the encrypted data, it decrypts it before sending it to the destination. This way, it becomes hard for someone to locate the address or location of the person who sent the message.
