Tor (short for The Onion Router) is a system intended to enable online anonymity. The Tor client software directs internet traffic through a worldwide volunteer network of servers to conceal a user's location or usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace Internet activity, including "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages and other communication forms", back to the user and is intended to protect users' personal freedom, privacy, and ability to conduct confidential business by keeping their internet activities from being monitored.
So obviously, TOR needs a large amount of servers and as TOR network is not a commercial organisation, it requires voluntary supporters. You can be one of them and turn your Raspberry in a TOR relay.

i've got two question about the follwing part:
"Add the line
tor ALL=(ALL) ALL"
i quess this is for the rights the tor user will get. is it ok to give him all? oder am i on the wrong way. i just wanted to know if this influences my normal pi user.
and there ist also the second question if i could run this tor -relay while im logged on with the pi user but start it in terminal with the tor user. or is this a stupid idea?
thx a lot
Perhaps you could add a brief step at the end on how to use TOR?
