Tor Browser is a simple an easy-to-use package that installs and help you manage the Tor project software on your Mac. In order to protect your connection, Tor uses various servers from around the world and reroutes your URL request through multiple servers to hide the path from your Mac to the destination URL. Tor prevents the monitoring of your Internet connection by hiding your identity and preventing IP address-tracking back to your Mac. Hide your IP address by using proxies all around the world Naval Research Lab, and is developed and maintained by the open source community.

If you'd like to be more anonymous online, then, Tor can help, but to get the best protection you'll need a clear idea of how the program works. (Though you can selectively restore these plugins if you don't mind potentially leaking identifiable information.) And the program disables plugins like Flash or Adobe's PDF reader to ensure they can't give away your IP address, so many websites will no longer work.

You must configure Internet applications individually before they'll be able to use Tor, for instance.

While this sounds good, there are many complications. And when it reaches the destination your data request will contain an IP address that leads back to the Tor network: not you. That traffic will then bounce randomly around various Tor relays, which means your request cannot be tracked. Internet traffic that leaves your PC will go first to the Tor network, so anyone spying on your connection won't see the sites you're accessing. With Tor installed, though, it's a very different story.

In addition, anyone watching your internet connection will be able to record the sites that you visit. This may reveal something about your location and can be used to spot you when you return to that resource. If you access an internet resource without using Tor then you'll give away your IP address. Tor is a free application and open network that helps to protect your anonymity online.
