Tor is an anonymizing network that protects your identity online and provides you with greater privacy, security, and freedom when surfing the web. It uses a collection of public servers known as bridges and relays that form a path between you and the websites you visit. Using a combination of encryption and tunneling protocols, it sends your traffic across several layers of servers.

The TOR IP lookup API provides you with an array of data that helps you identify proxy connections, detect TOR exit nodes, and more. By using this powerful tool you can improve your audience’s experience by personalizing content, implementing language detection and translation, and making sure they receive the website version of your site that is appropriate to their location.
