Join the Tor Network

We created a video with Tactical Tech to help understand why being a relay matters (HD version). It is translated into Arabic, Farsi, German, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish

The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run Tor as a relay or a bridge, the faster and safer the network becomes.
