internet with as much pri
In the early 2000s, Roger Dingledine, a recent [Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT)](https://web.mit.edu/) graduate, began working on an NRL onion
routing project with Paul Syverson. To distinguish this original work at NRL
from other onion routing efforts that were starting to pop up elsewhere, Roger
called the project Tor, which stood for The Onion Routing. Nick Mathewson, a
classmate of Roger's at MIT, joined the project soon after.
-From its inception in the 1990s, onion routing was conceived to rely on a
decentralized network. The network needed to be operated by entities with
diverse interests and trust assumptions, and the software needed to be free and
open to maximize transparency and separation. Thatâs why in October 2002 when
the Tor network was initially deployed, its code was released under a free and
open software license. By the end of 2003, the network had about a dozen
volunteer nodes, mostly in the U.S., plus one in Germany.

Recognizing the benefit of Tor to digital rights, the [Electronic Frontier
Foundation (EFF)](https://www.eff.org/) began funding Roger's and Nick's work
on Tor in 2004. In 2006, the Tor Project, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit
organization, was founded to maintain Torâs development.
In 2007, the organization began developing bridges to the Tor network to
address censorship, such as the need to get around government firewalls, in
order for its users to access the open web.
-Tor began gaining popularity among activists and tech-savvy users interested
in privacy, but it was still difficult for less-technically savvy people to
use, so starting in 2005, development of tools beyond just the Tor proxy began.
Development of Tor Browser began in
[2008](https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2008-January/007837.html).

With Tor Browser having made Tor more accessible to everyday internet users
and activists, Tor was an instrumental tool during the [Arab
Spring](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files) beginning in late
2010. It not only protected peopleâs identity online but also allowed them to
access critical resources, social media, and websites which were blocked.
-The need for tools safeguarding against mass surveillance became a mainstream
concern thanks to the [Snowden revelations in
2013](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files). Not only was Tor
instrumental to Snowdenâs whistleblowing, but content of the documents also
upheld assurances that, at that time, [Tor could not be
cracked](https://www.wired.com/story/the-grand-tor/).

-Peopleâs awareness of tracking, surveillance, and censorship may have
increased, but so has the prevalence of these hindrances to internet freedom.
Today, the network has [thousands of relays](http://metrics.torproject.org) run
by volunteers and millions of users worldwide. And it is this diversity that
keeps Tor users safe.

We at the Tor Project fight every day for everyone to have private access to
an uncensored internet, and Tor has become the worldâs strongest tool for
privacy and freedom online.
