Can my internet provider see what I do in Tor?
Tor Browser is anonymous in terms of hiding your location and browsing activity — but there are limits. Although they can't see your browsing activity or Tor encrypted data, your ISP can still see that you're using Tor.
Does Tor guarantee confidentiality?
Tor strengthens your online privacy, but it won't protect you from all the dangers of the internet. While browsing the web with Tor is a much safer option than with no protection, Tor is not 100% secure. When traffic passes through Tor nodes, it has to be decrypted before reaching the open internet.
Does Tor share your data?
Tor is a free browser that encrypts your browsing activity so third parties can't track it. The trouble with Tor is that some ISPs cut your internet connection if they detect you're using it. Tor also only anonymizes your browser activity, not other personal data.
What are the risks of Tor?
Tor provides more anonymity than a regular web browser by passing your web traffic through three layers of encryption. However, Tor is not completely secure. Using it can put you at risk of data leaks, spying, and man-in-the-middle attacks via malicious exit nodes.
