Privacy & Security Notes

  • Tor provides anonymity: Your real IP address is hidden behind multiple relays.
  • Exit node monitoring: Your traffic may be visible to the exit node operator.
  • HTTPS is important: Always use HTTPS when browsing through Tor for additional security.
  • Don't mix identities: Avoid logging into personal accounts while using Tor.
  • Keep Tor updated: Regularly update Tor browser for security patches.

Troubleshooting

  • If detection fails, try refreshing the page or restarting Tor browser.
  • Some corporate networks may block Tor traffic entirely.
  • VPN usage may interfere with Tor detection methods.
  • For maximum privacy, use Tor browser exclusively for anonymous browsing.

Tor detection is the process of determining whether you're using the Tor network for anonymous browsing. This tool uses multiple methods to verify your Tor connection status.

The tool checks for Tor exit nodes, browser signatures, and other indicators to provide accurate detection of Tor usage with confidence levels.
