<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',
then scroll down to the MS Windows installer packages). Privoxy is a filtering
web proxy that integrates well with Tor. Once it's installed, it should
appear in your system tray as a "P" in a circle, as pictured below:
<!-- Exit from
Privoxy for now by right clicking on the "P" icon and finding the exit option.-->
</p>
<img alt="privoxy icon in the system tray"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-privoxy-icon.jpg" />
<p>You need to configure Privoxy to use Tor.
Open Privoxy's main config file by selecting it from Start Menu|All
Programs:
</p>
<img border="1" alt="editing privoxy config"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-privoxy-config.png" />
<p>Add the line <br>
<tt>forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .</tt><br>
to Privoxy's config file. Don't forget to add the dot at the end.
The easiest way is to select the above line and copy/paste it into
the file. Be sure to save.
</p>
<img border="1" alt="privoxy points to tor"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-privoxy-edit.png" />
<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 privoxy.log</tt><br>
and the line <br>
<tt>jarfile jar.log</tt><br>
Be sure to save.
</p>
<img border="1" alt="comment out logfile"

<br>
<img border="1" alt="comment out jarfile"
src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-win32-privoxy-edit-3.png" />
<br>
<p>You'll need to exit and restart Privoxy for the changes to take effect:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Right click on the Privoxy systray icon and choose "Exit Privoxy".</li>
<li>Left click on Start Menu then Programs then Privoxy. Select the
green "P" Privoxy icon. Privoxy should appear in your system
tray again.</li>
