Apple pundits had anticipated an Arm-based MacBook Pro, yet no word of next-generation Apple Silicon machines surfaced.īefore a virtual audience, like last year thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, CEO Tim Cook presided over a tag team of executives, engineers, and product managers extolling the virtues of Apple software, hardware, and services. This may be useful in countries that block Facebook, for example.WWDC Apple on Monday opened its 2021 Worldwide Developer Conference by promising a raft of operating system and privacy improvements – including a relay system to anonymize Safari connections, and randomized email addresses for online account signups.Įxpectations were lower than those at last year's event, which heralded a major platform architecture shift from Intel processors to Arm-compatible chips dubbed Apple Silicon. This allows you to access Facebook through Tor, and your connection doesn’t ever leave Tor where it can be snooped on. It also means that someone hosting a website can hide that server using the Tor network, so no one can find it–in theory.įor example, Facebook maintains an official Tor hidden services address at “facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion”. This means that your browsing activity can’t be snooped on by someone watching the Tor exit nodes. A “.onion” address points to a Tor hidden service, which is a server you can only access through Tor.

Google sees this as the exit node’s IP address contacting it instead of your IP address. That exit node then contacts for you, and it sends you back the data Google responded with. So, when you access through Tor, your request bounces from Tor relay to Tor relay before it reaches an “exit node”. When you connect to Tor, your internet activity is sent through the Tor network, anonymizing your Internet activity so it can’t be snooped on, and so that you can access websites that may be blocked in your country. It’s partially funded by the US government, and is designed to help people in countries where Internet access may be censored or monitored.
Tor–short for “the onion router”–is an anonymizing computer network. RELATED: How to Browse Anonymously With Tor
