What is Tor, the "onion" on the dark web, as mentioned on BBC News?

xfrXYV QdCXnE Nov 16, 2025, 12:25 PM

What is Tor? Tor is a free, open-source communication software that can mask the user's identity and private information. The name is an abbreviation of The Onion Router. Like layers of an onion, Tor also has multiple layers of encryption. It was originally designed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and has been receiving funding from the U.S. State Department. How does Tor conceal a user's location and identity? Simply put, this software transmits data to the Internet through a complex loop, with several "nodes" on this loop, namely personal computers and servers that voluntarily act as connection points. The data is encrypted at each step along this chain, making it very difficult to track a user's online activity.
