IP anonymity is only one view of Tor - this oversimplifies all of the
other properties of using the Tor network.  Please consider reading
about the traffic analysis resistance properties of Tor before
describing Tor as a simple proxy system:

Please note the surveillance resistance properties of the Tor network
differ depending on the view of an adversary.

All the best,
