In this guide we cover what it actually does (in plain English), how the three-relay circuit works, and when it genuinely makes sense for ordinary users — private research, bypassing blocking, or keeping browsing separate from your main identity.
We also walk through a live demonstration: confirming the Tor connection, inspecting the circuit display, switching circuits, and explaining the difference between New Tor Circuit and New Identity.
Plus: what your ISP and websites can actually see, why logging into Google or Facebook changes the privacy picture, whether you need a VPN alongside it (and why a VPN beats Tor for geo-targeting), and what Tor is genuinely not designed for.
