Yes, Tor Browser is safe when used correctly. It's designed to protect your privacy and anonymity online by routing your traffic through multiple encrypted relays. However, like any tool, it requires proper use and understanding of its limitations. Always download from official sources and keep it updated for maximum security.

Tor routes your traffic through multiple relays around the world, which naturally increases latency. The network prioritizes privacy and anonymity over speed. Connection speeds can vary based on relay load, your location, and network conditions. The trade-off between speed and privacy is inherent to Tor's design.

Using Tor is legal in most countries and is used by journalists, activists, and privacy-conscious individuals worldwide. It's also used by law enforcement and government agencies. However, some countries restrict or ban its use, so check your local laws. Remember that while Tor itself is legal, illegal activities remain illegal regardless of the browser used.

Yes, Tor Browser is available for Android devices through the Google Play Store and F-Droid. For iOS, we recommend Onion Browser, which provides similar functionality and is available through the App Store. Both offer mobile privacy protection with touch-optimized interfaces.

Generally, you don't need a VPN with Tor. In fact, using both can sometimes reduce your security and create additional privacy risks. Tor provides anonymity on its own through its multi-layered encryption. If you do use both, understand the implications and configure them properly with expert guidance.

You can verify Tor is working by visiting check.torproject.org in Tor Browser. If properly connected, you'll see a congratulations message and your current IP address (which should be different from your real IP). The page will also show your relay information and connection status.
