TOR Exit Nodes

TOR works on the principle of a distributed network of servers that act as "exits" to the generak Internet. These servers are known as "Exit Servers"

Over the years I have used TOR to access the Internet from countries that were not designated to be able to access web services not designed for that country. Intially it was to access the BBC from Canada. Since that time I have found other uses for TOR.

TOR was originally built to allow communications between individuals where they were under threat from their governments.

In the 1990s, the lack of security on the internet and its ability to be used for tracking and surveillance was becoming clear, and in 1995, David Goldschlag, Mike Reed, and Paul Syverson at the U.S. Naval Research Lab (NRL) asked themselves if there was a way to create internet connections that don't reveal who is talking to whom, even to someone monitoring the network. Their answer was to create and deploy the first research designs and prototypes of onion routing.
