Conduct careful research before relying upon an alternative network for anonymity purposes. }} {{project_name_long}} can be paired with any other suitable anonymizing network. This means the other network will be tunneled through [[Tor]]. ''In theory'' Tor could be completely replaced with another suitable anonymizing network; see [[Dev/Technical Introduction#{{project_name_short}} Framework|{{project_name_short}} Framework]]. Development in this area has stalled due to a lack of interest from users, upstream developers and {{project_name_short}} developers. Interested readers can refer to the [[Dev/Inspiration|Inspiration]] entry, which outlines some research in addition to theoretical and practical work completed to date. In general, the [[Dev/Technical Introduction#{{project_name_short}} Framework|{{project_name_short}} Framework]] is agnostic about which anonymizing network is in use. The primary reason {{project_name_short}} started with Tor was because all developers were Tor users. It only occurred to developers much later on that alternatives could be used. Unlike the Tor network, at the moment {{project_name_short}} support for other anonymizing networks is fairly rudimentary. Although {{project_name_short}} developers have great respect for Tor alternatives, along with their developers and users, they are simply more accustomed to the Tor network (which is also a personal preference). It is also very difficult to simultaneously stay up-to-date, maintain equal interest, and be fully educated about a host of other anonymizing networks. = Links: Other Anonymizing Networks = Readers who are interested in replacing or pairing Tor with alternative networks in {{project_name_short}} should refer to the links below.
