- The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run relays, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have at least 20 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor by configuring your Tor to be a relay too.
- software package tor {source code distribution}
- the Web browser is only able to make use of Tor when
- (since 2013-09-20 Tor package) the Web browser has been configured to use Tor with
- SOCKS (v5) host
