Think of it as hiding in a crowd of people wearing identical masks. Since there are hundreds of users on the Tor network and routes change every few minutes, it is nearly impossible for commercial or government agencies to track what sites you are visiting or which user is generating what traffic. Orbot and Tor route your Internet signal through a series of "relays" between you and the site you are trying to access, which protects that site from seeing your real IP address and other personal information. You're exposing your identity, but not your location, to the website and its logs.Orbot: Tor on Android is a free browser which allows you to access the Internet anonymously and bypass Internet filters by connecting to the Tor routing network. edit: also, just regular stuff is fine to do over Tor, like reddit, Twitter, that sort of thing.
But, read up, and go poke around the onion net. It is quite a bit slower than a plain browser, and you won't be able to use the usual plug-ins, like Flash. It has limited bandwidth, so we would hope there are some free speech activities going on, not just hogging bandwidth by downloading movies or whatever.īut definitely feel free to get in there and experiment with the Tor Browser Bundle. So, unless the BitTorrent client is configured to use Tor - which is unreliable, according to a past Tor Project blog post, because sometimes the client ignores your proxy settings - your are kind of out of luck.Īlso, that's not really the purpose of Tor. When you use BitTorrent, you actually connect from IP address to IP address, meaning your IP address is exposed to your peer (and to anyone who's watching, like your ISP).
