'''The Onion Router''' (often represented by '''Tor''')is free [[open source]] software for [[anonymous communication]]. It enables users to surf the Internet, chat and send instant messages [[anonymous]]ly. Fortunately, admins at Conservapedia don't know what it is so anyone with a VPN is free to vandalise as they please. Even rationalwiki isn't that stupid.

The Tor Project operates a group of volunteer-operated internet servers which take messages from internet users and then forwards them to the intended internet website.  Typically, an internet website will know the IP address and characteristics of each user.  However, with Tor, the internet website thinks that the Tor server is the internet user, when in fact, the Tor server forwards the information back to the actual user without disclosing the identifying data to the website.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en|title=Tor Project Overview|accessdate=February 8, 2016}}</ref>  The Tor Project also provides software including the Tor web browser, Orbot (which provides Tor for Android devices), and [[Tails (operating system)|Tails]] (an operating system that is preconfigured to operate Tor safely).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.torproject.org/index.html.en|title=Tor Project|accessdate=February 8, 2016}}</ref>
