Bring more Tor into your life

Read Original

This article explains how the Tor network encrypts and routes internet traffic for privacy. It details practical uses beyond the Tor Browser, such as for IRC, email, DNS, and system updates via SOCKS proxy or torify. It also discusses using Tor on mobile with Orbot, addresses speed trade-offs, security caveats, and the broader benefits of increasing Tor usage for personal and collective security.
