Former CIA employee and NSA contractor Edward Snowden<\/a> recommends Tor Browser<\/a> to hide IP on the Internet. He said Tor<\/strong> is more secure than a VPN or proxy. Now let’s try Tor to hide IP on Mac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tor (The Onion Router<\/strong>) is originally a project of the US Military<\/strong>. Thus it is designed for the highest level of security<\/strong>. Now it’s a nonprofit project open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current Tor bundle is delivered with a builtin browser. It makes Tor more accessible to ordinary users. We call the new bundle Tor Browser<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tor Browser is based on Firefox<\/a>. You can treat it as a Firefox browser with a Tor addon. When you launch it, it needs to connect to the Tor network<\/strong>. It may take several minutes. Then you should be able to surf the Internet behind<\/strong> the Tor network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tor Browser uses three nodes<\/strong> to hide your IP on Mac. Your traffic goes through three nodes (Germany, US, Poland) before going to the websites. Thus no one (a hacker or FBI) to trace your online activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first node in the Tor circuit is called an entry guard<\/strong>, or guard<\/strong>. It’s a privileged node because it can see your real IP. Only a reliable node can be a guard. Your guard won’t change within 2~3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exit node<\/strong> connects to the websites to fetch the web pages for you. The sites will regard its IP address as yours. The exit node and the intermediate node<\/strong> change with every new website you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
