About Arti
Arti is the Tor Project's implementation of the Tor client written in Rust. It connects to the Tor anonymity network, routing your traffic through relays so the sites you visit do not see where it comes from.
It is a separate program from Tor Browser and is aimed at people who want to run a Tor client directly or build Tor support into their own software.
