Tor versus Lightning Onion Routing
Please note that Tor and Lightning Onion Routing are completely separate and independent technologies. They are similar as both use multiple hops to obfuscate origin and destination as packages travel along a route, but they are not the same. For best privacy both Tor and Lightning Onion Routing should be used concurrently. Read this Q&A for more details.
