Can I use Tor for everything?
Apart from providing users with anonymity, Tor also allows you to access the dark web, which you can't do with regular browsers. Tor is legal to use in most countries, except those known for online surveillance and censorship.
Can you be traced if you use Tor?
Although your internet traffic is encrypted on Tor, your ISP can still see that you're connected to Tor. Plus, Tor cannot protect against tracking at the entry and exit nodes of its network. Anyone who owns and operates the entry node will see your real IP address.
Does using Tor hide your IP?
Tor is a free software program that you load onto your computer (like a browser) that hides your IP address every time you send or request data on the Internet. The process is layered with heavy-duty encryption, which means your data is layered with privacy protection.
Do I still need a VPN if I use Tor?
A VPN isn't a requirement to use Tor, but it helps a lot. It encrypts your whole traffic, masking it from the ISP. In short, it's much safer to use Tor with a VPN. Not all VPNs offer Tor features in their product.
Is Tor legal or illegal?

Can police track Tor?

Is Tor better than VPN?
To put it simply, Tor is best for those transmitting sensitive information. A VPN is usually a more effective solution for everyday use as it strikes a great balance between connection speed, convenience, and privacy. However, every online user's needs are different.
What happens if you use a VPN with Tor?
If you go Tor > VPN, your traffic will be encrypted when it enters and exits the Tor network. You will need a special VPN provider that supports such a connection.
