Tor Network is a free and open-source system that routes internet traffic through a global array of volunteer-operated servers to anonymize users' online activities and protect against surveillance.

Tor Network was initially funded by the US government to the tune of about $60 million for secure intelligence operations, but it ironically now helps activists in authoritarian regimes bypass firewalls and access forbidden information, with over 2 million daily users worldwide.
