How To Surf 76
We’re going to throw more adept stalkers off our trail by traveling on the Tor network. Rather than going directly from point A to point B, page requests made over the Tor network are randomly tunneled through a series of nodes before reaching their final destination, making it difficult to track you. But concealing your trail is only the beginning. Your data packets are encrypted along the way, and each relay point only knows where the packets just came from, not where they originated from. Furthermore, each relay point receives a different encryption key, so your data remains secure up until the exit node. If you’re worried someone might be snooping at the exit node, only use the Tor network for sites with end-to-end encryption, which start with https://.
