The Tor Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our mission is to advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and furthering their scientific and popular understanding.

We develop free and open source software for privacy and freedom online, protecting people from tracking, surveillance, and censorship—the Tor network and Tor Browser.

The decentralized nature of the Tor Project, and our commitment to empowering individuals to exercise their human rights and freedoms online, has made Tor an important piece of infrastructure for a variety of web3 tools and communities.
