In the early 2000s, Roger Dingledine, a recent [Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)](https://web.mit.edu/) graduate, began working on an NRL onion routing project with Paul Syverson. To distinguish this original work at NRL from other onion routing efforts that were starting to pop up elsewhere, Roger called the project Tor, which stood for The Onion Routing. Nick Mathewson, a classmate of Roger's at MIT, joined the project soon after.
-From its inception in the 1990s, onion routing was conceived to rely on a decentralized network. The network needed to be operated by entities with diverse interests and trust assumptions, and the software needed to be free and open to maximize transparency and separation. That’s why in October 2002 when the Tor network was initially deployed, its code was released under a free and open software license. By the end of 2003, the network had about a dozen volunteer nodes, mostly in the U.S., plus one in Germany. +From its inception in the 1990s, onion routing was conceived to rely on a decentralized network.

Recognizing the benefit of Tor to digital rights, the [Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)](https://www.eff.org/) began funding Roger's and Nick's work on Tor in 2004. In 2006, the Tor Project, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was founded to maintain Tor’s development.
In 2007, the organization began developing bridges to the Tor network to address censorship, such as the need to get around government firewalls, in order for its users to access the open web.
-Tor began gaining popularity among activists and tech-savvy users interested in privacy, but it was still difficult for less-technically savvy people to use, so starting in 2005, development of tools beyond just the Tor proxy began. Development of Tor Browser began in [2008](https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2008-January/007837.html). +Tor began gaining popularity among activists and tech-savvy users interested in privacy, but it was still difficult for less-technically savvy people to use, so starting in 2005, development of tools beyond just the Tor proxy began. +Development of Tor Browser began in [2008](https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2008-January/007837.html).
With Tor Browser having made Tor more accessible to everyday internet users and activists, Tor was an instrumental tool during the [Arab Spring](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files) beginning in late 2010. It not only protected people’s identity online but also allowed them to access critical resources, social media, and websites which were blocked.
-The need for tools safeguarding against mass surveillance became a mainstream concern thanks to the [Snowden revelations in 2013](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files). Not only was Tor instrumental to Snowden’s whistleblowing, but content of the documents also upheld assurances that, at that time, [Tor could not be cracked](https://www.wired.com/story/the-grand-tor/). +The need for tools safeguarding against mass surveillance became a mainstream concern thanks to the [Snowden revelations in 2013](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files). +Not only was Tor instrumental to Snowden’s whistleblowing, but content of the documents also upheld assurances that, at that time, [Tor could not be cracked](https://www.wired.com/story/the-grand-tor/).
-People’s awareness of tracking, surveillance, and censorship may have increased, but so has the prevalence of these hindrances to internet freedom. Today, the network has [thousands of relays](http://metrics.torproject.org) run by volunteers and millions of users worldwide. And it is this diversity that keeps Tor users safe. +People’s awareness of tracking, surveillance, and censorship may have increased, but so has the prevalence of these hindrances to internet freedom. +Today, the network has [thousands of relays](http://metrics.torproject.org) run by volunteers and millions of users worldwide.

We at the Tor Project fight every day for everyone to have private access to an uncensored internet, and Tor has become the world’s strongest tool for privacy and freedom online.
