Answer 1

Tor (anonymity network)

Pros

1.Anonymity - Individual data packets bounce through multiple nodes, making surveillance impractical. IP addresses are also impossible to track or trace.

2.Security - Because it's open source, it's difficult to hide malwares in Tor.

3.It accesses the deep web which are not visible by mainstream web browsers.

Cons

1.Startup times. Tor takes ages to load its homepage – as much as sixty seconds from clicking its icon. That will shock regular users of the streamlined Chrome browser

2.Performance. Because of its layer-like data distribution, Tor runs extremely slowly. You’d struggle to watch streaming media content, even across fiber broadband.

3.Data isn’t encrypted. Because it’s effectively anonymous, Tor doesn’t bother encrypting data. A separate VPN is required for encryption, further slowing average transfer times
