![]() But if people from every country in the world used, you can’t really learn about a person simply by seeing someone using this network. And then you don’t actually have anonymity, right? So if it was only people in Serbia that used it, it wouldn’t be anonymity. ![]() Otherwise you have the network that’s just used by these people or just used by those people. It’s a very strange thing.īut it turns out that when you work on anonymity, you need people from all sides to join. It’s a very strange thing.Īnd, we’re probably the only project, as a free software project, that’s been funded by both the US Department of Defense, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

And the network is like a huge amount of bandwidth, considering that it’s passing traffic for everyone. And we have about 250,000 people using Tor at any given point in time during the day, or night. So, we have about 2500 people at any given point in time that are running Tor servers, of which anyone can be a Tor server. So we built this big peer-to-peer network, and the idea is that if you use it, you have the ability to be private by design. And it’s pretty hard to trust a for-profit corporation with your privacy. But the short version is that we’re a nonprofit, because I don’t think that you can save the world by being a for-profit corporation. So, I have a bunch of text on the slide which you can read. Oh man, is this too loud? It sounds really loud.Īnyway, so I wanted to give you an overview that sort of shows why you might care about Tor, or what about Tor might be interesting to you. I’m here today to talk about Tor, and I want to talk a little bit about anonymity in general, and circumvention, as well as Internet filtering, or blocking, Have you guys ever experienced blocking on the Internet? Or filtering of any kind? Anybody here? Raise your hand if you have. ![]() Hi! So, thanks for having me here, although I can’t see any of you at all.
