Description : The Tor network is a group of volunteer-operated servers that allows people to
: improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Tor's users employ this
: network by connecting through a series of virtual tunnels rather than making a
: direct connection, thus allowing both organizations and individuals to share
: information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Along the
: same line, Tor is an effective censorship circumvention tool, allowing its
: users to reach otherwise blocked destinations or content. Tor can also be used
: as a building block for software developers to create new communication tools
: with built-in privacy features.
:
: This package contains the Tor software that can act as either a server on the
: Tor network, or as a client to connect to the Tor network.
