Why does the Tor network need middle nodes?

Even in a network with only entry and exit nodes, there is no node that knows both the IP of the user and the IP of the website to be visited.

Of course, the entry node knows who you are, the exit node knows where you want.

the middle node neither knows nor

Well, it’s because it’s so safe. Imagine you have only two nodes and they happen to be the same operator. Then it’s traceable to you in any case. At three nodes, it’s very hard to track you back almost impossible.

but the probability is very very low.

But that would require you to trust either the Entry Node or the Exit Node.

The aim of the TOR project is, however, a network in which no one needs to be familiar.

But the Entry Node knows which user has connected to what Exit and the Exit knows which Exit has been addressed by what Entry.

So if one of the nodes is corrupted, it’s just a question of metadata evaluation to complete the puzzle.

And you get them from the telecommunication providers.
