2. **Unknown identity** - An unknown identity could be a stable pseudonym that you regularly use. It is not anonymous because it doesn't change. If you're a part of an online community you may wish to retain persona that others know. The reason this is not anonymous is because if monitored over a period of time details about the owner may reveal further information, such as the way they write (lingustics), general knowledge about topics of interest etc.

So, what do we learn from this? We learn that Tor allows us to connect to a website without any single party knowing the entire path. The entry node knows who you are, but not where you are going; the middle node doesn’t know who you are or where you are going; and the exit node knows where you are going, but not who you are. Because the exit node makes the connection, the destination website will never know who you are (your IP address).
