The Tor Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Winchester, New Hampshire, United States, that develops free and open-source software for privacy and freedom online. Its mission is to advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding. The organization protects user privacy by routing communications through a distributed network of volunteer-run relays worldwide, which helps prevent observers from learning which sites are visited or users' locations. Tor Browser provides the easiest way to use the network and offers protections against cross-site tracking and browser fingerprinting. Recent updates indicate ongoing development of privacy offerings such as TorVPN, along with enhancements to relay support, directory servers, and related infrastructure.
