The latest beta release of Tor for Macintosh OS X is <a
|
2005-04-08 10:16:33 +02:00
|
|
|
href="http://tor.eff.org/dist/osx/Tor 0.1.0.3-rc Bundle.dmg">0.1.0.3-rc</a>.
|
2005-01-05 03:41:59 +01:00
|
|
|
Download it by clicking the link. You may be able to find experimental versions
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/osx/">here</a>, if you're looking for
|
|
|
|
|
new features and new bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Our Tor installer should make everything pretty simple. Below is a

|
|
|
screenshot of the setup page (your version will probably be newer than
|
|
|
|
|
the version printed in this screenshot):

|
By default, Tor is configured to run at startup. If you do not want Tor to
|
|
|
|
|
run on startup, you can disable this by selecting "Customize" in the
|
|
|
|
|
Installer, and then un-checking the "Tor Startup Script" box. Be sure to
|
|
|
|
|
leave the other boxes checked.

|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Once the installer is finished and your computer restarts, Tor will
|
|
|
|
|
start automatically. Tor comes configured as a client by default. It
|
2005-03-19 00:09:29 +01:00
|
|
|
uses a built-in default configuration file in <tt>/Library/Tor/torrc</tt>,
|
|
|
|
|
but most people won't need to change any of the settings. Tor is now
|
|
|
|
|
installed.</p>
|
2005-01-05 03:41:59 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Privoxy is installed as part of the Tor bundle package
|
|
|
|
|
installer. Privoxy is a filtering web proxy that integrates well with
|
|
|
|
|
Tor. Once it's installed, it will start automatically when your computer
|
|
|
|
|
is restarted.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>You do not need to configure Privoxy to use Tor. A custom Privoxy
|
|
|
|
|
configuration for Tor has been installed as part of the installer package.

<h2>Step Two: Configure your applications to use Tor</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>After installing Tor, you need to configure your applications to use
|
|
|
|
|
it. The first step is to set up web browsing.
|
|
|
|
|
Change your browser to HTTP proxy at localhost port 8118.
|
2005-01-05 15:25:53 +01:00
|
|
|
(That's where Privoxy listens.)
|
|
|
|
|
In Mozilla, this is in Mozilla|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies.
|
|
|
|
|
In Firefox it's Firefox|Preferences|General|ConnectionSettings.
|
|
|
|
|
You should set both your Web Proxy (HTTP) and your Secure Web Proxy
|
|
|
|
|
(HTTPS or SSL) to localhost port 8118, to hide your SSL traffic too.
|

|
|
|
|
2005-01-05 15:25:53 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>If you want to use Tor with Safari, you need to change your
|
|
|
|
|
Network Settings. The process looks something like:</p>

|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Select the Network Interface you want to enable Tor on. If you use
|
2005-01-05 03:58:05 +01:00
|
|
|
more than one Interface you must change the proxy settings for each
|
2005-01-05 03:41:59 +01:00
|
|
|
individually.</p>

<p>Select and enter localhost and port 8118 for both Web Proxy (HTTP)
|
|
|
|
|
and your Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS)</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/CLIENTS">browsers leak your
|
|
|
|
|
DNS requests when they use a SOCKS proxy directly</a>, which is bad for
|
|
|
|
|
your anonymity. Privoxy also removes certain dangerous headers from your
|
|
|
|
|
web requests, and blocks obnoxious ad sites like Doubleclick.</p>

If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability
|
|
|
|
|
to connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from your local
|
|
|
|
|
applications to
|
|
|
|
|
local port 8118 and port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing connections,
|
|
|
|
|
punch a hole so it can connect to at least TCP ports 80, 443, and 9001-9033.

<p>To Torify another application that supports HTTP, just point
|
|
|
|
|
it at Privoxy (that is, localhost port 8118). To use SOCKS
|
|
|
|
|
directly (for example, for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc),
|
|
|
|
|
point your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050). For
|
|
|
|
|
applications that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at <a
|
