Have you ever wondered how safe and protected you are online? Well, it turns you are super vulnerable if you don't use any security measure. You can use a VPN Service like Nord VPN, but generally they limit how much data you can use, and most of them are not even free. In this blog, we'll see about a browser called Tor, which is a super safe browser that also keeps your presence anonymous online. It is available for major operating systems.
Is Tor Browser Legal?
For most people reading this article, Tor Browser is completely legal to use. In some countries, however, Tor is either illegal or blocked by national authorities. China has outlawed the anonymity service and blocks Tor traffic from crossing the Great Firewall. Countries such as Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran, are working hard to prevent citizens from using Tor.
Let us Go over some features of Tor Browser:
1. It uses Onion Routing for anonymity.
It uses the concept of Onion Routing that uses multiple servers in between the main server and the client computer. This makes tracking the IP address of the client nearly impossible. But it does slow down the bandwidth a bit. A new connection can be made any time with new servers.
2.Complex data encryption before sending over any kind of data.
The data that you send to any web site's server by Post Method. Any hacker in your network might be able to tap into the data and access all of your usernames, passwords, banking information, fingerprint data, etc. Tor Browser encrypts the data and makes it hard for others than the server to get valuable information from that data.
3.Makes it Possible to Visit Locked Websites.
Some websites are blocked by the telecommunication department of your country for some reasons. Tor makes it possible to access the locked websites by, let's say, teleporting you to another country. It's probably the easiest way to access any way.
4.It uses HTTPS Everywhere by Default.
An extension called HTTPS Everywhere is enabled by default in Tor browser. Some websites have both http version and https version. The HTTPS everywhere extension makes sure that you are using the https version of the website, which is more secure than http.
5.It uses NoScript Extension by Default.
It uses NoScript extension by default which only allows those websites which are enabled by you to use Css, Javascript and Flash, which can be used to track your device. It is a handy extension which can better anonymize you.
