It’s like sending a letter through three friends before it reaches someone — no one knows where it came from.

Definition

A decentralized network that routes internet traffic through multiple nodes to hide the user’s identity and location.

In plain English It’s like sending a letter through three friends before it reaches someone — no one knows where it came from.

Why this matters
