Can you explain what the term TOR means and what it is used for?

TOR (The Onion Router) is a network and software that provides anonymity on the internet. TOR directs internet traffic through multiple servers (nodes), encrypting data at each stage, which makes it difficult to track the source and destination of the traffic.

It is used to protect user privacy, bypass censorship, and access resources that may be blocked in some countries. For example, journalists and activists use TOR for secure communication and information exchange.
