TOR encrypts  the data along with the IP address multiple times before sending it through a virtual circuit comprising of a number of relays. Using TOR  makes it more difficult for the activity to be traced back to the user. Advantages : 1.Free 2.Difficult to trace. Disadvantages : 1.Slow. 2.If the exit node is compromised, then your encrypted data is as good as plain text. 3.Location spoofing is not suitable. 4.Not suitable for  p2p file sharing.
