To my understanding, and I’m no expert so my explanation has no value. You connect to a series of servers around the world that offer some free bandwidth and provides a new IP address to which it then connects to another and another. The idea is to hide your real location from a website or service but it’s not really preventing anyone from tracking you down. You’re supposed to use VPN over Torr which I guess you use your private VPN service and then use the Torr network on top….but it’s very slow to use. I’m not sure what the real point of it would be.
