The latest beta release of Tor for Macintosh OS X is <a
|
2005-07-15 01:35:11 +02:00
|
|
|
href="http://tor.eff.org/dist/osx/Tor 0.1.1.2-alpha Bundle.dmg">0.1.1.2-alpha</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

|

|
|

|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-20 02:00:08 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>After installing Tor and Privoxy, you need to configure your
|
|
|
|
|
applications to use them. The first step is to set up web browsing.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're using Firefox (we recommend it), check out our <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="tor-switchproxy.html">Tor SwitchProxy howto</a> to set up
|
|
|
|
|
a plugin that makes it easy to switch between using Tor and using a
|
|
|
|
|
direct connection.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Otherwise, you need to manually configure 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.
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
2005-07-20 02:00:08 +02:00
|
|
|
You should consider configuring your "FTP Proxy" too; see <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">this
|
|
|
|
|
note</a> about Tor and ftp proxies.

|
|
|
|
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>Select and enter 127.0.0.1 and port 8118 for both
|
|
|
|
|
Web Proxy (HTTP) and your Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS).
|
|
|
|
|
You should consider clicking on "FTP Proxy" too; see <a

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
<p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
|

|
|
|
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">browsers
|
|
|
|
|
leak your
|
2005-01-05 03:41:59 +01:00
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-07-20 02:00:08 +02:00
|
|
|
<p>To Torify other applications that support HTTP proxies, just
|
|
|
|
|
point them at Privoxy (that is, localhost port 8118). To use SOCKS
|
|
|
|
|
directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can point
|
|
|
|
|
your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">this
|
|
|
|
|
FAQ entry</a> for why this may be dangerous. For applications
|
|
|
|
|
that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at <a
|

|

are sites that show what IP address and country you appear to be coming
|
|
|
|
|
from.
|
2005-03-16 22:24:45 +01:00

|
|
|
<p>If you don't know your current public IP address, this may not be a
|
|
|
|
|
very useful test. To learn your IP address, run <tt>ifconfig</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are behind a NAT or firewall, though, you won't be able
|
|
|
|
|
to learn your public IP address. In this case, you should 1) configure
|
|
|
|
|
your browser to connect directly (that is, stop using Privoxy), 2) check
|
|
|
|
|
your IP address with one of the sites above, 3) point your browser back
|
|
|
|
|
to Privoxy, and 4) see whether your IP address has changed.

|
|

2005-07-20 02:00:08 +02:00
|
|
|
<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 and 443, and then see <a

<h2>How To Uninstall Tor and Privoxy</h2>
|
2005-06-09 20:43:43 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The Tor 0.1.0.x series does not come with an uninstaller; this feature
|
|
|
|
|
will be added in the 0.1.1.x series. If you want to remove Tor on OSX,
|
|
|
|
|
here's how:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Change your application proxy settings back to their original values.
|
|
|
|
|
If you just want to stop using Tor, you can end at this point.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To stop Tor and Privoxy from running on startup</b>, remove the
|
|
|
|
|
/Library/StartupItems/Tor and /Library/StartupItems/Privoxy directories
|
|
|
|
|
respectively. If you just want to stop Tor from running, you can end at this
|
|
|
|
|
point.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To erase all remaining Tor and Privoxy files from your computer, delete
|
|
|
|
|
the following:
|
2005-07-20 02:00:08 +02:00
|
|
|
<ul>
