Your communication is encrypted in multiple layers and routed via multiple hops through the Tor network to the final receiver. Note that all your local ISP can observe now is that you are communicating with Tor nodes. Similarly, servers in the Internet just see that they are being contacted by Tor nodes.\n\nIt also does not matter whether you are running a Tor relay or not in this scenario, nor do you really gain any technical advantage from doing so, regardless of flags or consensus weight.",
