This article will cover the basic steps involved with building a Tor service. In this case, network traffic enters the Tor network, but never exits. Instead of using it in a VPN-like manner to enter, scramble, and then exit Tor, it’s possible to run services such as websites inside the Tor network itself. Due to this layered encryption, no single Tor node knows both the source and destination of any network packet. The initial packets are redundantly encrypted and each Tor node along the way only decrypts the layer it needs to know what to do with the packet. Network traffic is routed into the Tor network, then bounced through other Tor nodes inside the network before it exits back into the clear net (meaning, the regular internet).
