Tor has had its ups and downs ever since the first alpha was released in 2002. That’s supposed to prevent users from being identifiable via server logs, whereas traffic being encrypted at all points is supposed to prevent eavesdropping. The internet server destiination is supposed to only see the IP of the exit node. The gateway IP of the user and the destination IP are also encrypted, as opposed to being in plain text. It’s called an onion router because traffic goes through many layers of encrypting servers.
