Does Tor show your location?
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 change your location?
When you use Tor to browse the web, your connection to the site is passed through random IP addresses based in any number of countries. This is great for keeping your real location private, but unhelpful if you want to visit a website that only allows connections from a particular country.
Can Tor Browser be tracked?
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.
How does Tor provide confidentiality?
The Tor network is a secure, encrypted protocol that can ensure privacy for data and communications on the web. Short for the Onion Routing project, the system uses a series of layered nodes to hide IP addresses, online data, and browsing history.
