Tor2web
An HTTP proxy that enables web browsers to access Tor Hidden Services without requiring the Tor Browser.
What is Tor2web?
Tor2web is an HTTP proxy software that enables access to Tor Hidden Services using standard web browsers. It solves the problem of requiring the Tor Browser to visit .onion websites by acting as a bridge between the regular web and the Tor network. This makes Tor Hidden Services more accessible to users who prefer or need to use common browsers.
Users, researchers, journalists, and activists who need to access Tor Hidden Services but cannot or prefer not to use the Tor Browser. It's also for developers and organizations focused on transparency and digital rights.
Developers choose Tor2web because it simplifies access to the Tor network without compromising on the open-source ethos, being maintained by the GlobaLeaks project under the AGPLv3 license. Its unique selling point is bridging accessibility gaps for .onion sites while supporting community-driven development.
