#Cybersecurity #Tor #Privacy #Anonymity: "Tor is a valuable tool for browsing the web anonymously, but since it's powered by volunteers willing to share some bandwidth and a computer, it's always in need of additional help. Which is why EFF is announcing the Tor University Challenge, a project asking universities to start running Tor relays on campus. Today, we're launching with support from 12 universities. With your help, we can add more universities to strengthen the Tor network to improve one of the best free privacy tools available today.
In 2011, we launched our first Tor Challenge, which resulted in 549 new relays. By 2014, after we launched our second Tor Challenge, we had counted 1,635 new relays. This time around, we're focusing on getting more Tor relays onto college campuses. Universities are especially well-suited for Tor relays because they often offer fast internet, have lots of technical expertise available (including professors, students, and IT teams), and value freedom of expression. Setting up a Tor relay on your college campus will help make Tor faster and better, because the more relays that exist, the better the experience of using Tor gets for everyone."
