The upcoming changes will fix flaws in the system’s original design, and employ modern-day cryptography to make the system future-proof. That makes it much harder for authorities or opponents to take down. My own work as a scholar and volunteer member of The Tor Project also looks at the network’s way of allowing people to host websites privately and anonymously, which is where most of the upgrades to the system will come.Ĭalled “onion services,” this element of the Tor network makes it possible for a person to run a website (or filesharing site, or chat service or even video calling system) from a dedicated server or even her own computer without exposing where in the world it is. Tor bounces web traffic over three randomly selected Tor relays out of a total of around 7,000 relays.īut those users are still, generally speaking, using others’ websites, which can be shut down or pressured into censoring online activity.
