To close the question, can u help me in the below:<br><br><ul style=" text-align: left;"><li>Is it Safe? -<strong><em>&nbsp;<strong style=" text-align: left;"><em>answered,&nbsp;</em></strong>not like in VPN (less secure than VPN)</em></strong></li><li>Would it also hide my IP?</li><li>Does it carry CPU usage in my computer?

To close the question, can u help me in the below:


 * Is it Safe? - answered, not like in VPN (less secure than VPN)
 * Would it also hide my IP?
 * Does it carry CPU usage in my computer? (i mean if its a burden on the CPU)
 * Why is said is decentralized? (I read it's that it uses multiple servers, not one as in VPN)
 * What is independent nodes? - answered, funded by gov
 * As a first-timer, can I test Tor Browser without worries?

Wow thank u!<br><br>Please your no-nonsense direct response, <strong><em>a</em></strong><span style=" text-align: left;"><em><strong>s a first-timer, can I test Tor Browser without worries?</strong></em></span>

Wow thank u!

Please your no-nonsense direct response, as a first-timer, can I test Tor Browser without worries?

To close the question, and is because when testing WARP it changed my DNS indicating that THAT additional move provoke more securities as to IPS not seeing what you visit since in deferent DNS; do To browser (or it's configurations) also changes DNS or it uses the IPS DNS?.<br><br>

Hi Experts!
As I understand VPN uses servers and all data from my computer to X servers to the website visiting is encrypted plus my IP is replaced by a servers (my IP is hidden).  As to Tor Browser, I am bit at loss.  I read its decentralized, super slow and uses independent nodes (yet I was given a pix on TorFlow, see at end, so it seems it’s being used a lot).  So here are the questions,
Is it Safe?
Would it also hide my IP?
Does it carry CPU usage in my computer?
Why is said is decentralized?
What is independent nodes?
As a first-timer, can I test Tor Browser without worries?

Questions on Tor Browser

Tor is free software for enabling anonymous communication. Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than seven thousand relays to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Routing is implemented by encryption in the application layer of a communication protocol stack, nested like the layers of an onion. Tor encrypts the data, including the destination IP address, multiple times and sends it through a virtual circuit comprising successive, randomly selected Tor relays.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.
