2024 has been a...year–time to spread some positive news! We've launched Webtunnel, a new type of bridge for censored users, developed a plug-and-play kit that makes it easier to deploy .onion sites, and joined forces with Tails. If you want to dive deeper and see what else we've been up to, tune in for our State of the Onion this Wednesday, Nov 13 at 17:00 UTC. https://lnkd.in/gsKJciaa

About us
The Tor Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We develop free and open source software for privacy and freedom online, protecting people from tracking, surveillance, and censorship. The Tor Project’s mission is to advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, support their unrestricted availability and use, and further their scientific and popular understanding. Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers worldwide: it prevents somebody watching your internet connection from learning what sites you visit and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol. The easiest way to use Tor is in Tor Browser, which adds additional privacy protections to your browsing experience. Tor Browser protects against cross-site tracking with first-party isolation and browser fingerprinting. Using Tor can also help you access an open web if you're in a part of the world or on a network where sites are blocked.

The Tor Project reposted this
The Tor Project provides a great service for all people around the globe. I'm happy to donate and support this incredible organization and service. I highly recommend all my connections to try out the browser if you haven't. You can download it for free at torproject.org. It has features built in to protect your privacy while browsing the web. I've heard from people I've talked to before that it "puts you on a list" or "malware is more accessible". Navigating to any onion link presents risk, but navigating to any website also has risk and Tor Browser prevents a lot of risk associated with attribution. #darknet #darkweb #osint #privacyisnotanoption #privacy
