"The most widely used such network is #Tor, a respectable tool built by #internet #freedom volunteers that is open to use by human rights activists, and also to abuse by criminal syndicates, predators, terrorists and others. To enter Tor, you must first install the Tor/ #firefox #web browser to divert your traffic through a worldwide volunteer network of servers. This conceals your location and your activities, effectively hiding you among all the other users. Tor works by encrypting and re-encrypting data multiple times as it passes through successive relays. This way the data cannot be unscrambled in transit. (Tor is so effective, in fact, that many intelligence agencies now use it for their own secure communications.) "
