  1. It doesn’t make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn’t designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you’re going to leak your actual IP address.
  2. Tor is a TCP only network.
  3. While this doesn’t give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.

That’s an old site though. So, you can find more information with another search.

If you enjoy drugs that’s probably the most use you’ll get out of it besides what the other guy said abt using it when vpns are blocked by ur network

Great for privacy. So great, that half the internet won’t let you browse, because they can’t sell you data for money.

If vpns are blocked on the network you are on, tor usually has a way to work.
