What is Tor Browser and how does it work?
Tor Browser is a privacy-focused web browser that routes your traffic through the Tor network, hiding your real IP address, preventing tracking, and protecting you against surveillance and censorship. Tor Browser uses the Tor network to protect your privacy and anonymity.
关于 Tor 浏览器
Tor Browser is based on Mozilla Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) but has been heavily modified for use with the Tor network. These modifications include additional patches and features that enhance privacy and security, making Tor Browser fundamentally different from Firefox or any other browser.
它专门用于抵抗在线追踪和浏览器指纹识别,有助于防止网站根据您的浏览器配置来识别您的身份。 虽然从技术上来说可以将其他浏览器通过 Tor 进行路由,但这样做会使您面临严重的去匿名化和信息泄露风险。 因此,我们强烈建议不要将 Tor 与 Tor 浏览器以外的任何浏览器一起使用。
By default, Tor Browser does not keep any browsing history. Cookies are only valid for a single session (until Tor Browser is exited or a New Identity is requested). 了解更多关于 Tor 浏览器的设计。
Tor 网络
Using the Tor network has three main properties:
- 你的互联网服务提供商和任何本地监视者,无法跟踪你的网络活动,包括所用网站的名称和地址。
- 你所用网站和服务的运营商及其所有监视者,可看到连接来自 Tor 网络,但看不到你真实的互联网 IP 地址,并且不知道你是谁,除非你在网站上自我公布。
- Tor allows you to circumvent censorship by enabling access to websites and online services that may be restricted or blocked in your region.
Tor 工作原理
Tor 是一个虚拟隧道网络,用于提高互联网用户的隐私和安全。其原理在于通过 Tor 网络内的三个随机服务器(也称中继)发送流量。线路中的最后一个中继(即“出口中继”)将流量发送到公共互联网。 The image below illustrates a user browsing a website over Tor where the traffic goes over multiple hops or relays, represented by the slices of onion, and is encrypted and decrypted at each hop.
