Tor is a useful tool to bypass censorship, but its strong anonymity becomes a disadvantage when publishing, say, on Wikipedia. You will need to investigate first if your desired website will function with Tor. Also, do not use it to log into insecure Internet accounts (e.g http://mail.ru). Tor protects your anonymity, not the privacy of your connection – the last server in your route will have unrestricted access to your traffic. As always, you must ensure that you have an encrypted connection, using HTTPS, to a secure website before exchanging sensitive information, such as passwords and emails, through a browser.
