Instead, traffic from your browser is intercepted by Tor and bounced to a random number of other Tor users’ computers before passing the request to its final website destination. The same process is reversed to enable the destination website to communicate with you, the Tor user. |

You will probably not want to send interactive traffic over the Tor network. Nor is it recommended that you do heavy downloading (such as Torrents) via Tor. The multiple hops increases latency significantly. | ||
