      Name: tor

      Category: security
      Maintainers: boeyms openmaintainer
      Description: anonymizing overlay network for TCP
      Long Description: Tor provides a distributed network of servers (onion routers). Users bounce their TCP streams (web traffic, FTP, SSH, etc.) around the routers. This makes it hard for recipients, observers, and even the onion routers themselves to track the source of the stream.
