Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can see all of the web sites you visit.

Even if you visit a site that uses HTTPS, your ISP can see which site you visited (even if they cant see what specific data or web pages you went to).

Using Tor hides even which domains you visit. It's not a silver bullet (your ISP can see you went into the Tor network but cant see past that) but it can fit a specific threat model.

Using the operating system Tails - a version of Linux that pushes everything through Tor and doesnt save anything to your hard drive - can be a wonderful tool.

@[email protected] has written a comprehensive guide on what Tails is, how to use it and how not to use it.

Really great stuff and I can't wait to read the articles to come!
