-<h2>Tor: anonymity online</h2>
-<hr />
-
-<p>
-Tor helps keep you anonymous on the Internet.  It transfers your
-communications around a worldwide set of servers.  This masks your
-destination and source locations.  This provides some protections from a
-variety of attacks from a variety of people and organizations on the
-Internet.  There are many reasons to use Tor. For example:
-</p>
-<ul>
-<li>You live in a country that restricts access to certain sites or services.
-Tor hides where you go on the Internet from your ISP,
-so you can access any Internet site.</li>
-<li>You live in a repressive state that monitors the content of your communications.
-Tor encrypts your data until it gets to an "exit node" that could be on another
-continent, making it very difficult to monitor the content of Internet communications.
-<li>You are an abuse victim who wishes to anonymously join a survivor discussion group.
-Tor ensures that your chats and emails are not traceable to your computer.</li>
-<li>You are a law enforcement officer or corporate user who needs to use email,
-websites, or chat
-without the recipients or server owners knowing who you are affiliated with.
-Tor masks where you are coming from, making it very difficult
-to figure out where you are coming from or who you are.</li>
-<li>You simply want some privacy concerning where you go, what you view, and what you do
-on the Internet. Tor hides your Internet use from your ISP, the servers and transit nodes,
-and prevents monitoring by anyone trying to see who is doing what on the Internet.</li>
-</ul>
-We have a full page devoted to explaining exactly <a href="<page overview>">
-what Tor does, why it is important, and how it works</a>.
-
-<p>
-To quickly start using Tor, we recommend the
-<a href="<page download>">Vidalia bundle</a>
-as the easiest to install and get working.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-There are three pieces of fine print you need to know about:
-First, Tor does not protect you if you do not use it correctly.
-Make sure to follow the
-<a href="<page documentation>">instructions for your platform</a>
-carefully. Second, even if you install, configure and use Tor correctly,
-there are still
-<a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RemainingAttacks">
-potential attacks that could compromise Tor's ability to protect you</a>.
-Third, Tor is beta software, which means that it isn't done yet, and may
-contain serious bugs or design flaws that render it ineffective. You should
-not rely on Tor if you really need strong anonymity.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Tor's security improves as its user base grows and
-more people volunteer to
-<a href="<page docs/tor-doc-server>">run a server</a>. It isn't
-nearly as hard to set up as you might think, and can significantly
-<a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">
-enhance your own personal security against some attacks</a>.
-If you can't run a server for some reason,
-we need funds to research attacks on the Tor network, improve performance, and develop
-new features to make Tor more reliable, secure, and speedy.

-<li>Sep 2007: If you have received email claiming to be Tor, it wasn't
-from us. The <a href="<page download>">official Tor bundles</a> can be <a
-href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/VerifyingSignatures">verified
-as authentic</a>.</li>
-<li>Aug 2007: <strong>Please update your Tor software!</strong>  The
-latest versions (stable: 0.1.2.17; development: 0.2.0.6-alpha)
-patch a significant security vulnerability.  See the <a
-href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Aug-2007/msg00000.html">release
-announcement</a> for more information.</li>
-<li><b>We are actively looking for new sponsors and funding.</b>
-If your organization has an interest in keeping the Tor network usable
-and fast, please <a href="<page contact>">contact us</a>. Sponsors of Tor
-also get personal attention, better support, publicity (if they want it),
-and get to influence the direction of our research and development.</li>
