![]() There is a danger that application protocols and associated programs can be induced to reveal information about the user. ![]() Note that Tor does no protocol cleaning on application traffic. If the application itself does not come with socks support, you can use a socks client such as torsocks. Client applications can use the Tor network by connecting to the local socks proxy interface provided by your Tor instance. This package enables only a Tor client by default, but it can also be configured as a relay and/or a hidden service easily. Users bounce their TCP streams (web traffic, ftp, ssh, etc) around the relays, and recipients, observers, and even the relays themselves have difficulty learning which users connected to which destinations. ![]() Basically, Tor provides a distributed network of relays. Traffic flowing down the circuit is decrypted at each relay, which reveals the downstream relay. Clients choose a source-routed path through a set of relays, and negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each relay knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. $ apt show tor Package: tor Version: 0.4.2.7-1~d10.buster+1 Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: net Maintainer: Peter Palfrader Installed-Size: 4,217 kB Depends: libc6 (>= 2.28), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10), libevent-2.1-6 (>= 2.1.8-stable), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.5), liblzma5 (>= 5.1.1alpha+20120614), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1), libsystemd0, libzstd1 (>= 1.3.2), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), adduser, lsb-base Recommends: logrotate, tor-geoipdb, torsocks Suggests: mixmaster, torbrowser-launcher, socat, tor-arm, apparmor-utils, obfs4proxy Conflicts: libssl0.9.8 (<< 0.9.8g-9) Homepage: Download-Size: unknown APT-Manual-Installed: yes APT-Sources: /var/lib/dpkg/status Description: anonymizing overlay network for TCP Tor is a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system.
