> Each Source Interface is only available as a Tor Hidden Service, which is a special type of website with an address ending in ”.onion” that is only accessible through Tor. Tor is an anonymizing network that makes it difficult for anybody observing the network to associate a user’s identity (e.g. their computer’s IP address) with their activity (e.g. uploading information to SecureDrop).
