Abstract:

The use of the TOR network [5] has become increasingly important as a tool for protecting online privacy and bypassing censorship. However, the use of custom circuits[3] within the TOR network[5] can further enhance the ability of users to avoid detection and access blocked content. This research paper explores the need for custom circuits[3] in TOR, particularly in regards to censorship. Through analysis of case studies and existing literature, we demonstrate the effectiveness of custom circuits in bypassing censorship[8][9] and the ways in which they can be used to improve the overall security and anonymity[7][11] of the TOR network. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and limitations of implementing custom circuits and provide recommendations for future research in this area. Overall, our findings suggest that the incorporation of custom circuits is essential for ensuring the continued effectiveness of TOR as a tool for overcoming censorship and protecting online privacy.
