Tor Browser prevents people from knowing the websites you visit. Some entities, such as your Internet Service Provider (ISP), may be able to see that you're using Tor, but they won't know where you're going when you do.

Does 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.

Can WIFI owner see Tor browser history?

When using Tor Browser, no one can see the websites that you visit. However, your service provider or network admins may be able to see that you're connecting to the Tor network, though they won't know what you're doing when you get there.

Can Tor VPN be tracked?

Can Tor be traced? It's difficult, but it is possible. To ensure your safety, you should take additional precautions (like using a VPN) while browsing with Tor. Some of Tor's nodes have been compromised in the past and used to expose users and even intercept their traffic.

How do police track Tor users?

If you are using TOR to browse the web, your traffic is encrypted and routed through a series of servers, making it difficult to trace. However, if you are using TOR to access illegal content or engage in illegal activity, law enforcement may be able to track your activity.

Does Tor automatically change your IP?

Tor doesn't change your IP. Your IP stays the same. What Tor does, is route you connection through multiple “nodes” while encrypting the connection on both ends. Allowing true anonymity.

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.

Web sites detect you're using Tor by looking at the IP address you're coming from, which will be the IP address of the Tor exit node, not the IP address of your computer (which is, of course, the whole point of Tor).

How do police track Tor users?

A browser history is a record of requests made while using a web browser, and includes information like websites visited and when. Tor Browser deletes your browsing history after you close your session.
