Tor is an encrypted network that runs on top of the Internet. One feature of Tor is that you can use another Tor user as a web proxy. This allows people whose Internet connection is censored, but who can connect to the Tor network, to get uncensored web access. When you send a packet through Tor, the intermediate nodes don't know who sent it or who it's going to, which in many cases makes it more secure than your plain Internet connection.
