\section{Introduction}
Tor is a low-latency anonymous communication overlay network designed
to be practical and usable for protecting TCP streams over the
Anonymous communication is full of surprises. In this paper we will
tell you about some of them. We will describe the challenges arising
from our experiences with deploying, Tor, a low-latency anonymous general
purpose communication system. We will discuss some of the difficulties
we have experienced, how we have met them or, when we have some idea,
how we plan to meet them. We will also discuss some tough open
problems that have not given us any trouble in our current deployment.
We will describe both those future challenges that we intend to and
those that we have decided not to explore and why.
Tor is an overlay network, designed
to be practical and usable, for protecting TCP streams over the
Internet~\cite{tor-design}. We have been operating a publicly deployed
Tor network since October 2003 that has grown to over a hundred volunteer
nodes and sometimes as much as 80 megabits of average traffic per second.
