Contribute to freedom of speech and resist censorship by contributing to Tor. The more civilian operators, the less likely traffic can be intercepted or decrypted.
Picture this: It’s 2006, and the concept of a private web was just getting off the ground. Today, the landscape of internet privacy has evolved into a veritable battleground of surveillance and countermeasures. We've got government agents, corporations, and... well, the occasional peeping toad. It’s up to you to decide if the internet has a future or if the concept of an open web is doomed to become a dystopia of metadata. The narrative of freedom of information has become the new battleground, and you can help write the script.
Tor is not just about the Tor Project and the hidden services; it is a force multiplier. It levels the playing field, making the weak internet invisible to surveillance and the powerful. By running a node, you aren't just improving your own anonymity; you're contributing to a network that protects everyone from mass surveillance and censorship.
We know, we know. We get it. Setting up a node requires effort, and for most of us, effort is often a scarcer resource. So, here is the fight of our lives, or at least, a hobby. To volunteer, simply run a node.
Tor is looking for volunteers to host, maintain, and operate nodes. There's even an option to donate bandwidth instead of money. So, if you have a powerful desktop computer sitting idle, you don't have to wait for the "big guns" to host your nodes; you can do it yourself. The internet needs you, and the anonymity of users around the world depends on it.
