Some providers disallow all TOR nodes, while many more allow only relay and bridge nodes. Relay and bridge nodes are rarely controversial, but exit nodes nearly always cause abuse reports. Spare and idling LowEndVPSes are excellent for running nodes. If you were sitting in Seattle, you would appear (based on your IP) to be in Berlin. So if the traffic goes through a server in Kentucky (USA), Toronto (CAN), and Berlin (DE) in that order, Kentucky and Toronto are relay nodes and Berlin is an exit node. Your traffic typically enters on a relay node, passes through several, and then exits on an exit node. Exit nodes: These are the points where your traffic “pops out” of the network.Bridge relays: This are specialized entry nodes that are kept secret (not listed in the public TOR directory), which makes it more difficult for governments to block these entrances.Their function is simply to pass traffic from one node to another.
Relay nodes: These are the mesh nodes through which traffic passes.To function, TOR needs three types of nodes: The purpose of TOR is to enhance individual privacy, not enable a legion of superhackers. Note that this does not magically make you invisible on the Internet. This is a gross simplification of how TOR works – check out Wikipedia for a fuller overview. This makes it impossible (or at least very difficult) for someone to trace your connection. Your connections are routed through a mesh of 7,000+ (as of this writing) servers, and the paths chosen change with each browser click you make. I won’t be able to know what you said to your friends, but I might be able to see that you said *something* and build a list of your friends, etc. I won’t be able to decrypt your bank password, but I’ll know the name of your bank. Even if it’s encrypted, I’ll be able to see which web sites you visit. Imagine I’m a surveillance agency and I want to gather information on you, so I watch your network traffic. If you’re merely interested in using TOR, please visit the TOR home page and click “Download Tor Browser”. In this tutorial, we’ll talk about the three kinds of routers you can run to contribute to the project. It is designed to defeat traffic analysis. TOR (The Onion Router) is FOSS software to allow onion routing.
