Does Tor use P2P?

The Tor browser works by using a technology known as onion routing. The onion router is a peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay network that enables users to browse the internet anonymously. Onion routing uses multiple layers of encryption to conceal both the source and destination of information sent over the network.

How to create Tor proxy?

Go to Preferences → Under Network Settings → Settings, under Configure Proxy Access to the Internet, select the option Manual proxy configuration. Then set the SOCKS Host to 127.0. 0.1 and Port to 9050 and check the option Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5 and click OK.

What port does Tor Browser use for proxy?

To use a program over Tor, configure it to use 127.0. 0.1 or localhost as a SOCKS5 proxy, with port 9050 for plain Tor with standard settings.

Does Tor Browser hide IP?

The Tor Browser hides your IP address and browsing activity by redirecting web traffic through a series of different routers known as nodes. Because Tor hides browsing activity and blocks tracking, it's used by whistleblowers, journalists, and others who want to protect their privacy online.
