TOR provides several benefits for customers who value their privacy online. It allows users to browse the Internet anonymously, as traffic is routed through a series of servers, each of which removes a layer of encryption from the data. This makes it difficult for anyone to trace the data back to the original user. TOR is also useful for accessing blocked or restricted websites, or for bypassing local Internet restrictions. It is a free, open-source network that is easy to use, and there are a variety of free TOR browser options available for download. TOR can be a valuable tool for people who want to protect their privacy online, such as activists, journalists, and people living in countries with strict Internet censorship laws.
By using TOR in combination with a VPN, you can significantly reduce your online profile and increase your privacy while browsing the Internet.

To ensure that your data is secure, SolusVPN uses OpenVPN's simple mechanism to disable logs across its infrastructure. DNS is also handled server-side to prevent DNS leaks. Without this feature, your device would attempt to look up a domain name in order to connect to it. However, the DNS protocol is not secure and this lookup is done in clear text, meaning that your ISP can see the websites you have visited. By forwarding the DNS lookup to our secure infrastructure, SolusVPN ensures that your device's DNS requests are secure.
