@scleralbuckle @RebeccaforWA If you're A and the website is Z, and you load it directly: A => Z Z can see that A is connecting. So the solution is to use a proxy server (e.g. B): A => B => Z Now, Z only knows that B is connecting, not that A. This works great, but you have to trust B — PolitiTweet.org

@scleralbuckle @RebeccaforWA It's not a magic bullet, and Tor Project is a serious security project so they've never portrayed it that way themselves. If you want to understand why it works start with why it exists. You want to load a web page without revealing your IP. How do you do it? — PolitiTweet.org

@scleralbuckle @RebeccaforWA This is why Tor exists -- a network of proxy servers that let's you get from A to Z, without Z knowing that you're A, in such a way that you don't have to actually trust the proxy servers themselves, and in fact that it's okay if your adversaries are running them — PolitiTweet.org
