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.
|
2004-12-21 06:43:17 +01:00
|
|
|
(That's where Privoxy listens.)
|
2005-04-08 14:21:12 +02:00
|
|
|
In Mozilla, this is in Edit|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies.
|
|
|
|
|
In Opera 7.5x it's Tools|Preferences|Network|Proxy servers.
|
|
|
|
|
In IE, it's Tools|Internet Options|Connections|LAN Settings|Advanced.
|
2005-07-20 02:00:08 +02:00
|
|
|
You should click the "use the same proxy server for all protocols"
|
|
|
|
|
button; but see <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">this

|

note</a> about Tor and ftp proxies.
|
2005-08-17 06:15:25 +02:00
|
|
|
In IE, this looks something like:</p>

<p>Using Privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a

|
2005-07-20 02:00:08 +02:00
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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

|
|
|

that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at <a

Check to see that Privoxy and TorCP are running and that TorCP has
|
2006-02-04 20:47:14 +01:00

|

in it, and TorCP uses a fat grey onion with a green checkmark in your

sure that your IP address is being anonymized. Click on the <a

<p>The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more

people who run servers, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have

|
|
|
|
at least 20 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor by configuring your
|
|
|
|
|
Tor to be a server too. We have many features that make Tor servers easy

|
|
|
|
and convenient, including rate limiting for bandwidth, exit policies so

you can limit your exposure to abuse complaints, and support for dynamic
