<h1>Running the <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a> client on Mac OS X</h1>
<br />
<p>
<b>Note that these are the installation instructions for running a Tor client on
Mac OS X. If you want to relay traffic for others to help the network
grow (please do), read the <a
href="tor-doc-server.html">Configuring a server</a> guide.</b>
</p>
<hr />
<a id="installing"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#installing">Step One: Download and Install Tor</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
The latest stable and experimental releases of Tor for Macintosh
OS X bundle <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a> and <a
href="http://www.privoxy.org">Privoxy</a> (a filtering web proxy)
into one package, with Privoxy pre-configured to proxy through Tor.
<a href="http://tor.eff.org/download">Download one from the download
page</a>.
</p>
<p>Our Tor installer should make everything pretty simple. Below is a
screenshot of the setup page:
</p>
<img alt="tor installer splash page"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-installer-splash.png"
border="1">
<p>
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
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>
<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.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="using"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#using">Step Two: Configure your applications to use Tor</a></h2>
<br />
<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.
(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.
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.
</p>
<p>If you want to use Tor with Safari, you need to change your
Network Settings. Select your Network Preferences from the Apple |
Location menu:</p>
<img alt="Network settings"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-choose-network.png"
border="1">
<p>Select the Network Interface on which you want to enable Tor. If you use
more than one Interface you must change the proxy settings for each
individually.</p>
<img alt="Network preferences"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-choose-interface.png"
border="1">
<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 also do this for "FTP Proxy" and "Gopher Proxy"; see <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">this
note</a> about Tor and ftp proxies. Leave your Use Passive FTP Mode
(PASV) setting as is.</p>
<img alt="Proxy settings"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-proxy-settings.png"
border="1">
<p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">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>
<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
href="http://www.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html">connect</a> or
<a href="http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/">socat</a>.</p>
<p>For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO">Torify
HOWTO</a>.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="verify"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#verify">Step Three: Make sure it's working</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
Next, you should try using your browser with Tor and make
sure that your IP address is being anonymized. Click on the <a
href="http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddr.pl?tor=1">Tor
detector</a> and see whether it thinks you're using Tor or not.
(If that site is down, see <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#IsMyConnectionPrivate">this
FAQ entry</a> for more suggestions on how to test your Tor.)
</p>
<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
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FirewalledClient">this
FAQ entry</a>.
</p>
<p>If it's still not working, look at <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork">this
FAQ entry</a> for hints.</p>
<hr />
<a id="server"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#server">Step Four: Configure it as a server</a></h2>
<br />
<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
IP addresses.</p>
<p>Having servers in many different places on the Internet is what
makes Tor users secure. <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">You
may also get stronger anonymity yourself</a>,
since remote sites can't know whether connections originated at your
computer or were relayed from others.</p>
<p>Read more at our <a href="tor-doc-server.html">Configuring a server</a>
guide.</p>
<hr />
<a id="uninstall"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#uninstall">How To Uninstall Tor and Privoxy</a></h2>
<br />
<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:
<ul>
<li>/Library/Tor</li>
<li>/Library/Privoxy</li>
<li>/usr/bin/tor</li>
<li>/usr/bin/tor_resolve</li>
<li>/var/log/tor</li>

<h1>Configuring a <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a> server</h1>
<br />
<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
IP addresses.</p>
<p>Having servers in many different places on the Internet is what
makes Tor users secure. <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">You
may also get stronger anonymity yourself</a>,
since remote sites can't know whether connections originated at your
computer or were relayed from others.</p>
<p>Setting up a Tor server is easy and convenient:
<ul>
<li>Tor has built-in support for <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#LimitBandwidth">rate
limiting</a>. Further, if you have a fast link
but want to limit the number of bytes per day
(or week or month) that you donate, check out the <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#Hibernation">hibernation
feature</a>.
</li>
<li>Each Tor server has an <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RunAServerBut">exit
policy</a> that specifies what sort of outbound connections are allowed
or refused from that server. If you are uncomfortable allowing people
to exit from your server, you can set it up to only allow connections
to other Tor servers.
</li>
<li>It's fine if the server goes offline sometimes. The directories
notice this quickly and stop advertising the server. Just try to make
sure it's not too often, since connections using the server when it
disconnects will break.
</li>
<li>We can handle servers with dynamic IPs just fine, as long as the
server itself knows its IP. Have a look at this
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#DynamicIP">
entry in the FAQ</a>.
</li>
<li>If your server is behind a NAT and it doesn't know its public
IP (e.g. it has an IP of 192.168.x.y), you'll need to set up port
forwarding. Forwarding TCP connections is system dependent but <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerForFirewalledCli
ents">this FAQ entry</a> offers some examples on how to do this.
</li>
<li>Your server will passively estimate and advertise its recent
bandwidth capacity, so high-bandwidth servers will attract more users than
low-bandwidth ones. Therefore having low-bandwidth servers is useful too.
</li>
</ul>
<p>You can run a Tor server on
pretty much any operating system, but see <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerOS">this
FAQ entry</a> for advice about which ones work best and other problems
you might encounter.</p>
<hr />
<a id="zero"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#zero">Step Zero: Download and Install Tor</a></h2>
<br />
<p>Before you start, you need to make sure that Tor is up and running.
</p>
<p>For Windows users, this means at least <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html#installing">step one</a>
of the Windows Tor installation howto. Mac OS X users need to do at least
<a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html#installing">step one</a>
of OS X Tor installation howto. Linux/BSD/Unix users should do at least
<a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-unix.html#installing">step one</a>
of the Unix Tor installation howto.
</p>
<p>If it's convenient, you might also want to use it as a client for a
while to make sure it's actually working.</p>
<hr />
<a id="one"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#one">Step One: Set it up as a server</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
1. Verify that your clock is set correctly. If possible, synchronize
your clock with public time servers.
</p>
<p>
2. Make sure name resolution works (that is, your computer can resolve addresses correctly).
</p>
<p>
3. Edit the bottom part of your torrc. (See <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#torrc">this
FAQ entry</a> for help.)
Make sure to define at least Nickname and ORPort. Create the DataDirectory
if necessary, and make sure it's owned by the user that will be running
tor. <em>If you want to run more than one server that's great, but
please set <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#MultipleServers">the
MyFamily option</a> in all your servers' configuration files.</em>
</p>
<p>
4. If you are using a firewall, open a hole in your firewall so
incoming connections can reach the ports you configured (ORPort, plus
DirPort if you enabled it). Make sure you allow all outgoing connections,
so your server can reach the other Tor servers.
</p>
<p>
5. Start your server: if you installed from source you can just
run <tt>tor</tt>, whereas packages typically launch Tor from their
initscripts or startup scripts. If it logs any warnings, address them. (By
default Tor logs to stdout, but some packages log to <tt>/var/log/tor/</tt>
instead. You can edit your torrc to configure log locations.)
</p>
<p>
6. Subscribe to the <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/">or-announce</a>
mailing list. It is very low volume, and it will keep you informed
of new stable releases. You might also consider subscribing to <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/">or-talk</a> (higher volume),
where new development releases are announced.
</p>
<p>
7. Have a look at the manual.
The <a href="http://tor.eff.org/tor-manual.html.en">manual</a> for the
latest stable version provides detailed instructions for how to install
and use Tor, including configuration of client and server options.
If you are running the CVS version the manual is available
<a href="http://tor.eff.org/tor-manual-cvs.html.en">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
8. Read
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/OperationalSecurity">this document</a>
to get ideas how you can increase the security of your server.
<hr />
<a id="two"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#two">Step Two: Make sure it's working</a></h2>
<br />
<p>As soon as your server manages to connect to the network, it will
try to determine whether the ports you configured are reachable from
the outside. This may take up to 20 minutes. Look for a log entry like
<tt>Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent.</tt>
If you don't see this message, it means that your server is not reachable
from the outside &mdash; you should re-check your firewalls, check that it's
testing the IP and port you think it should be testing, etc.
</p>
<p>When it decides that it's reachable, it will upload a "server
descriptor" to the directories. This will let clients know
what address, ports, keys, etc your server is using. You can <a
href="http://belegost.seul.org/">load the directory manually</a> and
look through it to find the nickname you configured, to make sure it's
there. You may need to wait a few seconds to give enough time for it to
make a fresh directory.</p>
<hr />
<a id="three"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#three">Step Three: Register your nickname</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
Once you are convinced it's working (after a day or two maybe), you should
register your server.
This reserves your nickname so nobody else can take it, and lets us
contact you if you need to upgrade or something goes wrong.
</p>
<p>
Send mail to <a
href="mailto:tor-ops@freehaven.net">tor-ops@freehaven.net</a> with a
subject of '[New Server] &lt;your server's nickname&gt;' and
include the following information in the message:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Your server's nickname</li>
<li>The fingerprint for your server's key (the contents of the
"fingerprint" file in your DataDirectory &mdash; on Windows, look in
\<i>username</i>\Application&nbsp;Data\tor\ or \Application&nbsp;Data\tor\;
on OS X, look in /Library/Tor/var/lib/tor/; and on Linux/BSD/Unix,
look in /var/lib/tor or ~/.tor)
</li>
<li>Who you are, so we know whom to contact if a problem arises</li>
<li>What kind of connectivity the new server will have</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<a id="four"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#four">Step Four: Once it's working</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
We recommend the following steps as well:
</p>
<p>
6. Decide what exit policy you want. By default your server allows
access to many popular services, but we restrict some (such as port 25)
due to abuse potential. You might want an exit policy that is
less restrictive or more restrictive; edit your torrc appropriately.
Read the FAQ entry on <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/faq-abuse.html#TypicalAbuses">issues you might
encounter if you use the default exit policy</a>.
If you choose a particularly open exit policy, you should make
sure your ISP is ok with that choice.
</p>
<p>
7. Decide about rate limiting. Cable modem, DSL, and other users
who have asymmetric bandwidth (e.g. more down than up) should
rate limit to their slower bandwidth, to avoid congestion. See the <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#LimitBandwidth">rate
limiting FAQ entry</a> for details.
</p>
<p>
8. If you control the name servers for your domain, consider setting
your hostname to 'anonymous' or 'proxy' or 'tor-proxy', so when other
people see the address in their web logs, they will more quickly
understand what's going on.
</p>
<p>
9. If your computer isn't running a webserver, please consider
changing your ORPort to 443 and your DirPort to 80. Many Tor
users are stuck behind firewalls that only let them browse the
web, and this change will let them reach your Tor server. Win32
servers can simply change their ORPort and DirPort directly
in their torrc and restart Tor. OS X or Unix servers can't bind
directly to these ports (since they don't run as root), so they will
need to set up some sort of <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerForFirewalledClients">
port forwarding</a> so connections can reach their Tor server. If you are
using ports 80 and 443 already but still want to help out, other useful
ports are 22, 110, and 143.
</p>
<p>
10. If your Tor server provides other services on the same IP address
&mdash; such as a public webserver &mdash; make sure that connections to the
webserver are allowed from the local host too. You need to allow these
connections because Tor clients will detect that your Tor server is the <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ExitEavesdroppers">safest
way to reach that webserver</a>, and always build a circuit that ends
at your server. If you don't want to allow the connections, you must
explicitly reject them in your exit policy.
</p>
<p>
11. (Unix only). Make a separate user to run the server. If you
installed the OS X package or the deb or the rpm, this is already
done. Otherwise, you can do it by hand. (The Tor server doesn't need to
be run as root, so it's good practice to not run it as root. Running
as a 'tor' user avoids issues with identd and other services that
detect user name. If you're the paranoid sort, feel free to <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorInChroot">put Tor
into a chroot jail</a>.)
</p>
<p>
12. (Unix only.) Your operating system probably limits the number
of open file descriptors per process to 1024 (or even less). If you
plan to be running a fast exit node, this is probably not enough. On
Linux, you should add a line like "toruser hard nofile 8192" to your
/etc/security/limits.conf file (where toruser is the user that runs the
Tor process), and then restart Tor if it's installed as a package (or log
out and log back in if you run it yourself). If that doesn't work, see <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FileDescriptors">this
FAQ entry</a> for other suggested ways to run "ulimit -n 8192" before
you launch Tor.
</p>
<p>
13. If you installed Tor via some package or installer, it probably starts
Tor for you automatically on boot. But if you installed from source,
you may find the initscripts in contrib/tor.sh or contrib/torctl useful.
</p>
When you change your Tor configuration, be sure to restart Tor, and
remember to verify that your server still works correctly after the
change.

</p>
<hr />
<a id="installing"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#installing">Step One: Download and Install Tor</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
The latest release of Tor can be found on the <a
href="/download.html">download</a> page. We have packages for Debian,
Red Hat, Gentoo, *BSD, etc there too.
</p>
<p>If you're building from source, first install <a
href="http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/">libevent</a>, and
make sure you have openssl and zlib (including the -devel packages if
applicable). Then Run <tt>tar xzf tor-0.1.0.15.tar.gz;
cd tor-0.1.0.15</tt>. Then <tt>./configure &amp;&amp; make</tt>. Now you
can run tor as <tt>src/or/tor</tt>, or you can run <tt>make install</tt>
(as root if necessary) to install it into /usr/local/, and then you can
start it just by running <tt>tor</tt>.
</p>
<p>Tor comes configured as a client by default. It uses a built-in
default configuration file, and most people won't need to change any of
the settings. Tor is now installed.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="privoxy"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#privoxy">Step Two: Install Privoxy for Web Browsing</a></h2>
<br />
<p>After installing Tor, you need to configure your applications to use it.
</p>
<p>
The first step is to set up web browsing. Start by installing <a
href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a>: click on 'recent releases'
and pick your favorite package or install from source. Privoxy is a
filtering web proxy that integrates well with Tor.
</p>
<p>You need to configure Privoxy to use Tor.
Open Privoxy's "config" file (look in /etc/privoxy/ or /usr/local/etc/)
and add the line <br>
<tt>forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .</tt><br>
to the top of the config file. Don't forget to add the dot at the end.
</p>
<p>Privoxy keeps a log file of everything passed through it. In
order to stop this you will need to comment out two lines by inserting a
# before the line. The two lines are:<br>
<tt>logfile logfile</tt><br>
and the line <br>
<tt>jarfile jarfile</tt><br>
</p>
<p>You'll need to restart Privoxy for the changes to take effect.</p>
<hr />
<a id="using"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#using">Step Three: Configure your applications to use Tor</a></h2>
<br />
<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.
(That's where Privoxy listens.)
In Mozilla, this is in Edit|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies.
In Opera 7.5x it's Tools|Preferences|Network|Proxy servers.
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.
<p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">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>
<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
href="http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/">tsocks</a> or <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO#socat">socat</a>.
</p>
<p>For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO">Torify
HOWTO</a>.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="verify"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#verify">Step Four: Make sure it's working</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
Next, you should try using your browser with Tor and make
sure that your IP address is being anonymized. Click on the <a
href="http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddr.pl?tor=1">Tor
detector</a> and see whether it thinks you're using Tor or not.
(If that site is down, see <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#IsMyConnectionPrivate">this
FAQ entry</a> for more suggestions on how to test your Tor.)
</p>
<p>If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's
ability to connect to itself (this includes something like SELinux on
Fedora Core 4), be sure to allow connections from
your local applications to Privoxy (local port 8118) and Tor (local 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
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FirewalledClient">this
FAQ entry</a>. If your SELinux config is not allowing tor or privoxy to
run correctly, create a file named booleans.local in the directory
/etc/selinux/targeted. Edit this file in your favorite text editor and
insert "allow_ypbind=1". Restart your machine for this change to take
effect.
</p>
<p>If it's still not working, look at <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork">this
FAQ entry</a> for hints.</p>
<hr />
<a id="server"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#server">Step Five: Configure it as a server</a></h2>
<br />
<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
IP addresses.</p>
<p>Having servers in many different places on the Internet is what
makes Tor users secure. <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">You
may also get stronger anonymity yourself</a>,
since remote sites can't know whether connections originated at your
computer or were relayed from others.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#using">Paso Dos: Configurar tus aplicaciones para Tor</a></h2>
<br>
<p>Tras instalar Tor y Privoxy, debes configurar tus aplicaciones para usarlos.
El primer paso es configurar tu explorador.</p>
<p>Si usas Firefox (te lo recomendamos), visitar <a href="tor-switchproxy.html">Tor SwitchProxy howto</a> para
configurar una extensi&oacute;n de Firefox que hace muy facil cambiar entre usar Tor o usar conexi&oacute;n directa.</p>
<p>De otro modo debes configurar tu explorador para
HTTP proxy en localhost, port 8118.
(Este es el puerto en el que Privoxy atiende.)
<ul>
<li>En Mozilla, entrar en Editar|Preferencias|Avanzado|Proxies.</li>
<li>En Opera 7.5x, es en Herramientas|Preferencias|Red|Proxy servers.</li>
<li>En IE, es en Herramientas|Opciones de Internet|Conexiones|Configuraci&oacute;n LAN|Avanzado.</li>
</ul>
Deber&iacute;as marcar la casilla "usar el mismo proxy para todos los protocolos"
pero visita <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">esta nota</a> sobre Tor y ftp proxies.
En IE, aparece algo como esto:</p>
<img alt="Proxy settings in IE" src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-ie-proxies.jpg">
<p>Usar Privoxy es <strong>necesario</strong> porque
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">
los exploradores fallan al hacer peticiones DNS cuando usan un proxy SOCKS directamente</a>,
lo cual es malo para el anonimato. Privoxy tambien elimina ciertas cabeceras
peligrosas de tus peticiones web, y bloquea inc&oacute;modos sitios como Doubleclick.</p>
<p>Para usar con TOR otras aplicaciones que soportan proxies HTTP, simplemente
dirigirlo a Privoxy (localhost, puerto 8118). Para usar SOCKS directamente (para
mensajer&iacute;a instantanea, Jabber, IRC, etc.) puedes dirigir tu aplicaci&oacute;n directamente
a Tor (localhost, puerto 9050), pero visita <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">esta FAQ</a>
donde se explica por qu&eacute; esto puede ser peligroso. Para aplicaciones que no soportan ni SOCKS ni HTTP,
visitar <a href="http://www.socks.permeo.com/Download/SocksCapDownload/index.asp">SocksCap</a> o
<a href="http://www.freecap.ru/eng/">FreeCap</a>.
(FreeCap es free software; SocksCap es propietario)</p>

<a id="verify"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#verify">Paso Tres: Asegurarse que funciona</a></h2>
<br>
<p>Comprueba que Privoxy y TorCP se est&aacute;n ejecutando y que TorCP ha iniciado TOR con &eacute;xito.
El icono de Privoxy es un circulo azul o verde con una "P" dentro, y TorCP es una
cabeza de cebolla gris con una marca "V" en verde (cuando est&aacute; activado) como aqu&iacute;:</p>
<img alt="TorCP Tray Icon" src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-torcp.png">
<p>Despu&eacute;s, deber&iacute;as intentar usar tu explorador con Tor y asegurarte que tu direccion
IP esta siendo anonimizada.
Visitar <a href="http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddr.pl?tor=1">Tor detector</a>
y comprobar si cree que usas Tor o no.
(Si este sitio no responde, visitar <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#IsMyConnectionPrivate">
esta FAQ</a> para mas sugerencias sobre como testear Tor.)
</p>
<p>Si usas un cortafuegos personal que limita la capacidad de conexi&oacute;n de tu computadora,
asegurate que permite conexiones de aplicaciones locales al puerto local 8118 y al puerto 9050. </p>
<p>Si tu cortafuegos bloquea conexiones salientes, configuralo para que puedan hacerse conexiones
al menos por los puertos TCP 80 y 443 y visita
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FirewalledClient">este apartado de la FAQ</a>.

<a id="server"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#server">Paso Cuatro: Configurarlo como servidor</a></h2>
<br>
<p>La red Tor se basa en voluntarios que donan su ancho de banda.
Cuantos m&aacute;s servidores, m&aacute;s rapida ser&aacute; la red Tor. Si tienes al menos 20Kbytes/s en ambos sentidos,
por favor ayuda a Tor configur&aacute;ndolo para que sea Servidor tambi&eacute;n. Tenemos varias caracter&iacute;sticas para que
hacer a Tor servidor sea facil y conveniente, incluyendo limitaci&oacute;n del ancho de banda cedido, politicas de
conexiones de salida que pueden limitar tu exposici&oacute;n a casos de abuso, y soporte para IP din&aacute;micas.
<p>Tener servidores en varios y diferentes sitios en la Internet es lo que convierte a los usuarios de Tor seguros.
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">Puedes reforzar tu propio anonimato</a>,
haciendo que sitios remotos no puedan saber si las conexiones se originaron en

<h1>Running the <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a> client on MS Windows</h1>
<br />
<p>
<b>Note that these are the installation instructions for running a Tor
client on MS Windows (98, 98SE, NT4, 2000, XP, Server).
If you want to relay traffic for others to help the network grow (please
do), read the <a href="tor-doc-server.html">Configuring a server</a>
guide.</b>
</p>
<hr />
<a id="installing"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#installing">Step One: Download and Install Tor</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
The install for MS Windows bundles <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a>,
<a href="http://www.freehaven.net/~edmanm/torcp/">TorCP</a>
(a Tor controller that lets you monitor and control Tor), and <a
href="http://www.privoxy.org">Privoxy</a> (a filtering web proxy) into
one package, with the three applications pre-configured to work together.
<a href="http://tor.eff.org/download">Download either the stable or
the experimental version from the download page</a>.
</p>
<p>
<b>If you want to configure yourself to be a Tor server via TorCP,
you will need the experimental version of the bundle.</b>
</p>
<p>If the bundles don't work for you, you can download Tor by itself
from the <a href="http://tor.eff.org/download">download page</a>, and then <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/tor-doc-unix.html#privoxy">install
and configure Privoxy on your own</a>.
</p>
<img alt="tor installer splash page"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-installer-splash.png" />
<p>If you have previously installed Tor, TorCP, or Privoxy
you can deselect whichever components you do not need to install
in the dialog shown below.
</p>
<img alt="select components to install"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-installer-components.png" />
<p>After you have completed the installer, the components
you selected will automatically be started for you.
</p>
<!--
<p>Tor comes configured as a client by default. It uses a built-in
default configuration file, and most people won't need to change any of
the settings. Tor is now installed.
</p>
-->
<hr />
<a id="using"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#using">Step Two: Configure your applications to use Tor</a></h2>
<br />
<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.
(That's where Privoxy listens.)
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.
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.
In IE, this looks something like:</p>
<img alt="Proxy settings in IE"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-ie-proxies.jpg" />
<p>Using Privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">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>
<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
href="http://www.socks.permeo.com/Download/SocksCapDownload/index.asp">SocksCap</a> or
<a href="http://www.freecap.ru/eng/">FreeCap</a>.
(FreeCap is free software; SocksCap is proprietary.)</p>
<p>For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the
<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO">Torify
HOWTO</a>.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="verify"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#verify">Step Three: Make sure it's working</a></h2>
<br />
<p>
Check to see that Privoxy and TorCP are running and that TorCP has
successfully started Tor. Privoxy's icon is a green or blue circle with a "P"
in it, and TorCP uses a fat grey onion with a green checkmark in your
system notification area, as shown below:
</p>
<img alt="TorCP Tray Icon"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-torcp.png">
<p>
Next, you should try using your browser with Tor and make
sure that your IP address is being anonymized. Click on the <a
href="http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddr.pl?tor=1">Tor
detector</a> and see whether it thinks you're using Tor or not.
(If that site is down, see <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#IsMyConnectionPrivate">this
FAQ entry</a> for more suggestions on how to test your Tor.)
</p>
<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
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FirewalledClient">this
FAQ entry</a>.
</p>
<p>If it's still not working, look at <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork">this
FAQ entry</a> for hints.</p>
<hr />
<a id="server"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#server">Step Four: Configure it as a server</a></h2>
<br />
<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
IP addresses.</p>
<p>Having servers in many different places on the Internet is what
makes Tor users secure. <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">You
may also get stronger anonymity yourself</a>,
since remote sites can't know whether connections originated at your
computer or were relayed from others.</p>

<h1>Configuring Hidden Services for <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a></h1>
<hr />
<p>Tor allows clients and servers to offer hidden services. That is,
you can offer a web server, SSH server, etc., without revealing your
IP to its users. In fact, because you don't use any public address,
you can run a hidden service from behind your firewall.
</p>
<p>If you have Tor and Privoxy installed, you can see hidden services
in action by visiting <a href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">the
hidden wiki</a>.
</p>
<p>This howto describes the steps for setting up your own hidden service
website.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="zero"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#zero">Step Zero: Get Tor and Privoxy working</a></h2>
<br />
<p>Before you start, you need to make sure 1) Tor is up and running,
2) Privoxy is up and running, 3) Privoxy is configured to point
to Tor, and 4) You actually set it up correctly.</p>
<p>Windows users should follow the <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html">Windows
howto</a>, OS X users should follow the <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html">OS
X howto</a>, and Linux/BSD/Unix users should follow the <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-unix.html">Unix howto</a>.
</p>
<p>Once you've got Tor and Privoxy installed and configured,
you can see hidden services in action by following this link to <a
href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">the hidden wiki</a>.
It will typically take 10-60 seconds to load
(or to decide that it is currently unreachable). If it fails
immediately and your browser pops up an alert saying that
"www.6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion could not be found, please check the name and
try again" then you haven't configured Tor and Privoxy correctly; see <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork">this
FAQ entry</a> for some help.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="one"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#one">Step One: Configure an example hidden service</a></h2>
<br />
<p>In this step, you're going to configure a hidden service that points
to www.google.com. This way we can make sure you have this step
working before we start thinking about setting up a web server locally.
</p>
<p>First, open your torrc file in your favorite text editor. (See <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#torrc">this
FAQ entry</a> to learn what this means.) Go to the middle section and
look for the line</p>
<pre>
############### This section is just for location-hidden services ###
</pre>
<p>
This section of the file consists of groups of lines, each representing
one hidden service. Right now they are all commented out (the lines
start with #), so hidden services are disabled. Each group of lines
consists of one HiddenServiceDir line, and one or more HiddenServicePort
lines:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>HiddenServiceDir</b> is a directory where Tor will store information
about that hidden service. In particular, Tor will create a file here named
<i>hostname</i> which will tell you the onion URL. You don't need to add any
files to this directory.</li>
<li><b>HiddenServicePort</b> lets you specify a virtual port (that is, what
port people accessing the hidden service will think they're using) and an
IP address and port for redirecting connections to this virtual port.</li>
</ul>
<p>In this example, we're going to set up a hidden service that points to
Google. So add the following lines to your torrc:
</p>
<pre>
HiddenServiceDir /Library/Tor/var/lib/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 www.google.com:80
</pre>
<p>You're going to want to change the HiddenServiceDir line, so it points
to an actual directory that is readable/writeable by the user that will
be running Tor. The above line should work if you're using the OS X Tor
package. On Unix, try "/home/username/hidserv/" and fill in your own
username in place of "username". On Windows you might pick:</p>
<pre>
HiddenServiceDir C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\hidden_service\
HiddenServicePort 80 www.google.com:80
</pre>
<p>Now save the torrc, shut down
your Tor, and then start it again. (See <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#Restarting">this
FAQ entry</a> for tips on restarting Tor.)
</p>
<p>If Tor starts up again, great. Otherwise, something is wrong. Look
at your torrc for obvious mistakes like typos. Then double-check
that the directory you picked is writeable by you. If it's still
not working, you should look at the Tor logs for hints. (See <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#Logs">this
FAQ entry</a> if you don't know how to enable or find your log file.)
</p>
<p>When Tor starts, it will automatically create the HiddenServiceDir
that you specified (if necessary), and it will create two files there.
First, it will generate a new
public/private keypair for your hidden service, and write it into a
file called "private_key". Don't share this key with others -- if you
do they will be able to impersonate your hidden service.
</p>
<p>The other file it will create is called "hostname". This contains
a short summary of your public key -- it will look something like
<tt>6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion</tt>. This is the public name for your service,
and you can tell it to people, publish it on websites, put it on business
cards, etc. (If Tor runs as a different user than you, for example on
OS X, Debian, or Red Hat, then you may need to become root to be able
to view these files.)
</p>
<p>Now that you've restarted Tor, it is busy picking introduction points
in the Tor network, and generating what's called a "hidden service
descriptor", which is a signed list of introduction points along with
the service's full public key. It anonymously publishes this descriptor
to the directory servers, and other people anonymously fetch it from the
directory servers when they're trying to access your service.
</p>
<p>Try it now: paste the contents of the hostname file into your web
browser. If it works, you'll get the google frontpage, but the URL in your
browser's window will be your hidden service hostname. If it doesn't work,
look in your logs for some hints, and keep playing with it until it works.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="two"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#two">Step Two: Now install a web server locally</a></h2>
<br />
<p>Now that you have hidden services working on Tor, you need to
set up your web server locally. Setting up a web server is tricky,
so we're just going to go over a few basics here. If you get stuck
or want to do more, find a friend who can help you. We recommend you
install a new separate web server for your hidden service, since even
if you already have one installed, you may be using it (or want to use
it later) for an actual website.
</p>
<p>If you're on Unix or OS X and you're comfortable with
the command-line, by far the best way to go is to install <a
href="http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/">thttpd</a>. Just grab the
latest tarball, untar it (it will create its own directory), and run
./configure &amp;&amp; make. Then mkdir hidserv, cd hidserv, and run
"../thttpd -p 5222 -h localhost". It will give you back your prompt,
and now you're running a webserver on port 5222. You can put files to
serve in the hidserv directory.
</p>
<p>If you're on Windows, ...what should we suggest here? Is there
a good simple <a href="http://www.fsf.org/">free software</a> (not
just "freeware") web server for Windows? Please
let me know what we should say here. In the meantime,
check out <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/">apache</a>,
and be sure to
configure it to bind only to localhost. You should also figure out
what port you're listening on, because you'll use it below.
</p>
<p>(The reason we bind the web server only to localhost is to make
sure it isn't publically accessible. If people could get to it directly,
they could confirm that your computer is the one offering the hidden
service.)
</p>
<p>Once you've got your web server set up, make sure it works: open your
browser and go to <a
href="http://localhost:5222/">http://localhost:5222/</a>. Then
try putting a file
in the main html directory, and make sure it shows up when you access
the site.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="three"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#three">Step Three: Connect your web server to your hidden service</a></h2>
<br />
<p>This part is very simple. Open up your torrc again, and change the
HiddenServicePort line from "www.google.com:80" to "localhost:5222".
Then <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#Restarting">restart
Tor</a>. Make sure that it's working by reloading your hidden
service hostname in your browser.
</p>
<hr />
<a id="four"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#four">Step Four: More advanced tips</a></h2>
<br />
<p>If you plan to keep your service available for a long time, you might
want to make a backup copy of the private_key file somewhere.
</p>
<p>We avoided recommending Apache above, a) because many people might
already be running it for a public web server on their computer, and b)
because it's big
and has lots of places where it might reveal your IP address or other
identifying information, for example in 404 pages. For people who need
more functionality, though, Apache may be the right answer. Can
somebody make us a checklist of ways to lock down your Apache when you're
using it as a hidden service?
</p>
<p>If you want to forward multiple virtual ports for a single hidden
service, just add more HiddenServicePort lines.
If you want to run multiple hidden services from the same Tor
client, just add another HiddenServiceDir line. All the following
HiddenServicePort lines refer to this HiddenServiceDir line, until
you add another HiddenServiceDir line:
</p>
<pre>
HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:8080
HiddenServiceDir /usr/local/etc/tor/other_hidden_service/
HiddenServicePort 6667 127.0.0.1:6667
HiddenServicePort 22 127.0.0.1:22
</pre>
<p>There are some anonymity issues you should keep in mind too:
</p>
<ul>
<li>As mentioned above, be careful of letting your web server reveal
identifying information about you, your computer, or your location.
For example, readers can probably determine whether it's thttpd or
Apache, and learn something about your operating system.</li>
<li>If your computer isn't online all the time, your hidden service
won't be either. This leaks information to an observant adversary.</li>
<!-- increased risks over time -->

<h1>Installing SwitchProxy for <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a></h1>
<hr />
<p>
SwitchProxy is a Firefox plugin that makes it easy for you to switch
between using a proxy and connecting to websites directly.</p>
<p>In this howto, you'll set up SwitchProxy to let you change
between using Tor and a direct connection. We assume you already
have Firefox installed and working.</p>
<p>The screenshots here are oriented towards Windows users, but
SwitchProxy works anywhere Firefox works. Hopefully everybody else can
follow along just fine.</p>

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#zero">Step Zero: Download and Install Tor and Privoxy</a></h2>
<br />
<p>Before you start, you need to make sure 1) Tor is up and running,
2) Privoxy is up and running, and 3) Privoxy is configured to point
to Tor.</p>
<p>Windows users need to do <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html#installing">step one</a>
of the Windows Tor installation howto, and Mac OS X users need to do <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html#installing">step one</a>
of OS X Tor installation howto, since our Win32 and OS X packages include
Privoxy and configure it already. Linux/BSD/Unix users should do <a
href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-unix.html#installing">step one</a>
and <a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-unix.html#privoxy">step
two</a> of the Unix Tor installation howto.

<h2><a class="anchor" href="#one">Step One: Download and Install SwitchProxy</a></h2>
<br />
<p>SwitchProxy is a Firefox plugin, so you need to go through
the process of installing a new plugin. First, go to the <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=125">
SwitchProxy</a> web page. If you're using Firefox 1.5, you might need to
download SwitchProxy <a href="http://www.roundtwo.com/product/switchproxy">from
here</a> instead.
Turn on JavaScript for now and click "Install Now":</p>
<img alt="switchproxy web page"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-webpage.jpg" />
<p>It will pop up a window asking for permission to install the plugin.
Click on the "Install Now" button:
</p>
<img alt="firefox plugin warning"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-starting.jpg" />
<p>Once the installer is finished, you should close all of your Firefox
windows and restart Firefox.</p>
<img alt="firefox plugin finished"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-finished.jpg" />
<hr />
<a id="two"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#two">Step Two: Configure SwitchProxy</a></h2>
<br />
<p>When you restart Firefox, you'll notice there's a new toolbar
that lets you control your proxies. Now we're going to set up a proxy
configuration for Tor. Click on "Add" in the new Proxy toolbar:</p>
<img alt="new toolbar"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-toolbar.jpg" />
<p>It will ask you to select a proxy type. Choose
"Standard." (There's also an "anonymous" proxy type that
uses an ad hoc set of anonymous proxies out there. You
don't want this, because those other "anonymous" proxies <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ComparisonProxyAggregators">give
you much weaker security than Tor</a>.)
</p>
<img alt="standard proxy"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxytype.jpg" />
<p>Now it will show you the standard proxy config window for Firefox.
Give this configuration a proxy label of "tor". Then fill in "localhost"
and "8118" for all four entries, as shown here. (Even
though Privoxy doesn't support FTP and Gopher, <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">you
should set them up anyway</a>.) Then click "OK":</p>
<img alt="proxy config"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxyconfig.jpg" />
<p>Now you've created the "tor" proxy label, but you're not using it yet.
Click on the pull-down list and select tor, as shown here:</p>
<img alt="switch to tor"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-switch.jpg" />
<p>Almost done. Click "Apply" to make your change take effect:</p>
<img alt="apply"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-apply.jpg" />
<p>Done! Firefox will reload your current page. In
this example screenshot, it reloaded the page and <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#GoogleLanguage">happened
to get a German exit node</a>:</p>
<img alt="german google"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-german.jpg" />
<hr />
<a id="three"></a>
<h2><a class="anchor" href="#three">Step Step Three: Check if it works</a></h2>
<br />
<p>Now Firefox is using Privoxy as an HTTP proxy, Privoxy is using Tor as
a socks4a proxy, and Tor is making your connections to the Internet.</p>
<p>In the above example, it was clear that it worked because the web
page showed up in a different language. In other cases, though,
you'll want to verify that your setup is working. Do
<a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html#verify">step three</a>
of the Windows Tor installation howto, or
<a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html#verify">step three</a>
of the OS X Tor installation howto.</p>
<p>You should be aware of one anonymity gotcha: when you switch from
using Tor to a direct connection (or vice versa), by default the page
that's currently active will be reloaded through the new proxy setting.
So make sure you're on a page that isn't sensitive, before switching.
(You can also change this behavior in SwitchProxy's "Options |
Preferences" menu.)</p>
