Can you download over Tor?

Yes, Tor Browser is safe to download.

However, it's not completely private — your ISP can still see that you've visited Tor's site. So I recommend downloading Tor while connected to a VPN to give you more privacy. That being said, you should never download it from a third-party site.

Does ZLibrary still work on Tor?

Can you download PDFs from Tor?

The short answer is, yes. In general files can be downloaded anonymously using the TOR browser, as long as you are using it correctly. Having said that, the TOR project strictly warns against opening files while online. PDFs are specifically mentioned because a PDF may reveal your IP address to a remote server.

Can police track Tor VPN?

There is no way to track live, encrypted VPN traffic.

Using the Tor browser could be suspicious to your ISP and, therefore, to the police. However, you're not going to get in trouble just because it looks a bit suspicious.

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.

Does Tor allow Torrenting?

Tor is a free, secure network that hides your IP address and personal information from others, letting you remain anonymous while torrenting. However, torrenting over Tor is unbearably slow, and the very nature of torrenting can still allow your identity and activity to leak despite using Tor.

Can ISP see downloads from Tor?

It becomes impossible to know who is who among them. Your Internet service provider (ISP) and local network can see that you connect to the Tor network. They still cannot know what sites you visit. To hide that you connect to Tor, you can use a Tor bridge.

Is Tor legal or illegal?

Does Tor hide your downloads?

Yes and no. Using TOR will prevent your ISP from seeing exactly what you are doing. Your ISP will, however, be able to see that you are using TOR based on the "exit nodes" seen in the packet - they could block you based on those.

The usage of Tor could increase the level of anonymity, but a hacker can always track users from their Bitcoin payments. “We demonstrate that the use of Tor does not rule out the attack as Tor connections can be prohibited for the entire network.

Can Tor be tracked by router?

One of Tor's weaknesses is that it doesn't hide activity from router logs. It can protect against traffic analysis, but it can't prevent traffic confirmation. In other words, it can't protect against an attacker who can monitor traffic both entering and exiting the network.
