The Onion Router -or more famously Tor – the free software that enables anonymous communication and offers extra privacy online, has announced a new, unique service that will enable any website to have a presence on its network.
Previously, hosting a website on the Tow network meant that developers and site owners had to make many changes to both site itself and infrastructure. Now, any website can join the network without making any costly redevelopment.
As Dan Benton, owner of Dogsbody Technology explains, there’s a lot of companies that would like to add their websites to the Tor network, however, having to make expensive changes to their sites makes site owners reluctant to do so. Now, with proxy between the public web and Tor network specifically built for that purpose, those changes are no longer necessary.
By adding their website to the Tor network, companies will give a number of advantages to their visitors, including extra privacy, freedom from network surveillance and enhanced communication integrity. Particularly important are support organizations here, as they’ll be able to provide help and support to victims of abuse without the risk of discovery.
