Why should I use TOR over VPN app?

Home / FAQ

1. The Basics of TOR and VPN:

  • TOR (The Onion Router): TOR is a privacy-focused network that routes your internet traffic through a series of volunteer-operated servers (relays) to conceal your IP address and online activities. This helps you maintain anonymity while browsing.
  • VPN (Virtual Private Network): A VPN is a service that creates a secure and encrypted connection between your device and a remote server, typically in a different location. This obscures your IP address and encrypts your internet traffic.

 

2. Combining TOR and VPN:

  • When you use both TOR and a VPN together, you create a multi-layered security approach:

 

a. Anonymity: TOR hides your IP address by routing your traffic through relays, and a VPN does the same by replacing your IP address with that of the VPN server. This double-layered approach makes it extremely difficult for anyone to trace your online activities back to you.

b. Encryption: Both TOR and VPNs provide encryption, but they use different methods. TOR encrypts your traffic as it passes through its relays, while a VPN encrypts it between your device and the VPN server. Together, this results in robust end-to-end encryption, protecting your data from eavesdropping.

c. Enhanced Privacy: By using both services, you achieve a high level of privacy. The VPN hides your IP address from your internet service provider (ISP) and the websites you visit, while TOR prevents the websites you access from knowing your true IP address.

d. Access to the Dark Web: The combination of TOR and a VPN is often used to access the dark web, where anonymity is crucial. This combination allows you to access hidden services and websites not indexed by traditional search engines.
