Tor is free software that ensures anonymity online and lets you avoid censorship. It was first started at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and is now managed as an EFF project. The EFF financially supported Tor until November 2005 and still supports its web hosting.

Tor protects against traffic analysis attacks and uses the network through onion routers. Outgoing connections are made anonymous, and hidden services can be used.
