Global Entry: How Tor Enables Borderless Browsing Without Firewalls - FTK 8

Unlock the real power of the internet in this Freedom Tech Weekend episode! Marks walks you through Tor—the Onion Router—showing how its volunteer-run network of encrypted relays lets anyone browse anonymously, punch through censorship, and take back digital sovereignty. We clear up misconceptions (no, it’s not just for criminals), dig into the U.S. Navy origins, and demo the Tor Browser step-by-step—from download to advanced security-level tweaks, bridges, and “new identity” circuits. You’ll also see how Tor pairs perfectly with Maple AI, the end-to-end-encrypted chat assistant built on OpenSecret enclaves, and how projects like Start9 home servers and LTor (Lightning-powered incentives) are pushing privacy even further. Whether you’re a journalist, developer, or weekend tinkerer, you’ll leave with a concrete plan to play with Tor this weekend and start decoupling from proprietary walled gardens. 🔗 Try Maple AI for free: https://trymaple.ai Follow me X / Twitter: @marks_ftw
