It is a hidden internet.Originally known as The Onion Router, the Tor network was meant to protect the US Navy.
Currently, it is a software that sends your signal around a network of open connections. These connections come from volunteers all over the world using the network.
Here you get every domain with a '.onion' . you cannot open that with normal search.
Just because it is the anonymous network, that doesn't mean that Tor will protect your system completely. It protects only the applications and programs that are configured correctly. That is why you should use a Tor browser bundle, which is pre-programmed to suit the Tor network.. Many Security agencies use it.
2. goodbye to browser plugins
You would notice that the Tor browser disables things like Quick time, Real Player and Flash. This it does in order to protect your privacy, as these applications have been known to give out your IP address. Similarly, you should avoid installing any add-ons to the Tor browser because they may cause it to malfunction. This can in turn be a hindrance to the browser’s original purpose of protecting your privacy.
3. Avoid opening downloaded files when you are in Tor:
Opening PDF or other files using a different application can reveal your non-IP address. You should avoid doing so.
4. Do not use tor and torrent with same time:
Even though it may seem so, downloading torrents while on Tor is not a good idea. You can use the network but don’t try to download torrents.
5. HTTPS:
Yes, use this at all times while you are on the Tor network. It shouldn't be any trouble, since the network automatically goes for the always HTTPS option.
6. Tor bridges:
This is also important since Tor doesn't protect you from being watched. Someone can still find out that you’re using Tor.
Be aware you may get accessed by other user.What ever you do you are only responsible for that.
