Join the Tor Network
We created a video with Tactical Tech to help understand why being a relay matters (HD version). It is translated into Arabic, Farsi, German, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish
The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run Tor as a relay or a bridge, the faster and safer the network becomes.
Two ways to join and help out
Run it yourself
You can run Tor as either a relay or a bridge. A bridge will usually see less traffic than a relay, and will only be the first hop in the three hop circuit.
You can find instructions on how to configure a relay in the Tor Relay Guide. Instructions for bridges.
Donate to others to run for you
Torservers, Noisetor, and Nos Oignons will turn your donation into Tor exit relays.
