Tor (The Onion Router) is a web browser that lets users access a network that anonymizes web traffic to provide private web browsing. Often used to access the dark web, Tor Browser hides IP addresses and browsing activity by redirecting web traffic through a series of different routers called nodes.

The dark web is a part of the internet that isn’t accessible with regular browsers or search engines like Google and Bing. To explore it, you need special tools like the Tor browser (short for The Onion Router) and search engines designed specifically for the dark web.
