Onion routing

Onion routing is a way of communicating over the internet that keeps you safe from people trying to find out who you are or what you are doing. It works by sending your information through a series of connected computers (called 'onion routers') so that no one computer knows where the information came from or where it's going. The computers are like layers of an onion, which is why it's called 'onion routing.' Each layer of the onion helps protect you by scrambling your data so no one can read it, and by sending it in a random direction so no one can track it. Nobody can see the data at each layer, so it's like it's locked up in the middle of an onion. In the end, your message will be received only by the person it was intended for.
