Система Tor была создана в исследовательской лаборатории Военно-морских сил США по федеральному заказу. В 2002 г. эту разработку решили рассекретить, а исходные коды были переданы независимым разработчикам.

С помощью Tor пользователи могут сохранять анонимность при посещении веб-сайтов, публикации материалов, отправке сообщений и при работе с другими приложениями, использующими протокол TCP. Безопасность трафика обеспечивается за счёт использования распределённой сети серверов, называемых «многослойными маршрутизаторами» . Технология Tor также обеспечивает защиту от механизмов анализа трафика, которые ставят под угрозу не только анонимность пользователя, но также конфиденциальность бизнес-данных, деловых контактов и др. Tor оперирует сетевыми уровнями onion-маршрутизаторов, позволяя обеспечивать анонимные исходящие соединения и анонимные скрытые службы.

Advanced Onion Router is a client for OR network and is intended to be an improved alternative for Tor+Vidalia+Privoxy bundle for Windows users. Before trying Advanced Onion Router, try the original Tor client (https://torproject.org) and read the available documentation to get familiar with Onion Routing and OR Network. You may find Vidalia easier to use. Some of the improvements of Advanced Onion Router include support for HTTP/HTTPS proxy on same Socks4/Socks5 port, a User Interface which makes all Tor available options more accessible, local banlist for forbidden addresses and the ability to "force" a program and its extensions / plugins to use the Tor proxy regardless of its configured proxy settings, and of course support for language files so translations can be loaded and the user interface translated into other languages. More features will be added in next versions.

What's New in This Release:

* corrected: when an UNICODE language file was loaded, list view subitems for hidden services and plugins were not updated
* corrected: since language files were loaded using read_file_to_str(), language files were opened in text mode and had CRLF (\r\n) converted to LF (\n), which caused multi-line debug messages to be converted to single-line messages
* the restriction for minimum circuit bandwidth rate now uses BandwidthCapacity instead of BandwidthRate (it uses what the router is known to handle instead of what the router reported it can handle)
* the window title will show "Disconnected" when disconnecting from the OR network (suggested by TT)
* new option for circuit context menus on the "Network information" page: "Priority", which is used when deciding which circuits to use for a new client connection when more circuits with different priorities exist; low priority circuits are used only when no higher priority circuits are available
* new option for circuit context menus on the "Network information" page: "Availability" which can be used to change expiration times or to prevent a manually built circuit from expiring (the default expiration time can be changed from the "Circuit build" page)
* new option on the "System" page: "Encrypt all settings using AES"; if this option is enabled, all configuration files are gzipped and encrypted using a password or a key file and saved to AdvOR.dat, original configuration files are deleted; to revert the encryption and to save plain-text configuration files, after a successfull login, the encryption can be disabled from the System dialog
* new functions for plugins: tor_malloc(), tor_free(), safe_malloc(), safe_free() (the "safe" functions attempt to allocate memory that is not cached to the Windows swap file)
* new functions for plugins: write_protected_file(), append_to_protected_file(), read_protected_file(), protected_file_exists(); if encrypting configuration files is enabled, "protected files" are gzipped and encrypted and saved to AdvOR.dat
* an example plugin © that uses protected file operations was included in the source code archive - Notes.dll (a simple text editor which saves a text file to AdvOR.dat when encryption is enabled, and "AdvOR--notes.txt" when encryption is disabled)
* an example plugin (asm) that uses AdvTor_HandleRead() was included in the source code archive - ShowURL.dll (a plugin that shows the complete URLs used with HTTP proxy requests)
* new functions for plugins: tor_gzip_compress(), tor_gzip_uncompress(), tor_zlib_new(), tor_zlib_process(), tor_zlib_free(), detect_compression_method()
* the plugin Blacklist.dll can now download and uncompress gzipped blacklists
* updated language strings: 2777, 2778, 2779, 2780, 2781, 2782, 2783, 2784, 2785, 2786, 2787, 2788, 2789, 2790, 2791, 2792, 2793, 2794, 2795, 2796, 2797, 2798
