<h2>Installing Tor</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest stable release of Tor for Windows 32 is <a
|
|
href="http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/win32/tor-0.0.9.1-win32.exe">0.0.9.1</a>.
|
|
Download it by clicking the link. You can find experimental versions
|
|
<a href="http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/win32/">here</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Our Tor installer should make everything pretty simple. Below is a
|
|
screenshot of the setup page:

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, Tor is not configured to run at startup.
|
|
<!--We highly recommend that you enable that feature, however. -->
|
|
You can enable this by checking the "Run at startup" box as shown below.
|
|
Be sure to leave the other boxes checked.
|
|
</p>

|
|
|
|
<p>Once the installer is finished, it will run Tor in a DOS window so
|
|
you can see its logs and errors. (You can minimize this window, but do
|
|
not close it.)
|
|
</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>
|
|
|
|
<p>After installing Tor, you should install <a
|
|
href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> (click on 'recent releases',
|
|
then scroll down to the Win32 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 pictured below:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<img alt="privoxy icon in the system tray" src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/GCS_004.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.freehaven.net/img/GCS_053.jpg" />
|
|
|
|
<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.freehaven.net/img/GCS_006.jpg" />
|
|
|
|
<p>Then change your browser to http proxy at localhost port 8118.
|
|
In Mozilla, this is in Edit|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies. In IE, it's
|
|
Tools|Internet Options|Connections|LAN Settings|Advanced.
|
|
You should also set your SSL proxy (IE calls it "Secure") to the same
|
|
thing, to hide your SSL traffic. In IE, this looks something like:</p>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<img alt="Proxy settings in IE" src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/GCS_002.jpg" />
|
|
|
|
<p>Using privoxy is <b>necessary</b> because <a
|
|
href="http://tor.freehaven.net/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>
|
|
|
|
<p>To test if it's working, go to <a
|
|
href="http://peertech.org/privacy-knoppix/">this site</a> and see
|
|
what IP it says you're coming from. (If it's down, you can try the
|
|
<a href="http://www.junkbusters.com/cgi-bin/privacy">junkbusters</a>
|
|
site instead.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you have a personal firewall, be sure to allow local connections to
|
|
port 8118 and port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing connections,
|
|
punch a hole so it can connect to TCP ports 80, 443, and 9001-9033.

|
|
<p>To Torify an application that supports http, just point it at
|
|
Privoxy. To use socks directly, point it at localhost port 9050. For
|
|
applications that support neither socks nor http, take a look at either <a
|
|
href="http://www.socks.permeo.com/Download/SocksCapDownload/index.asp">SocksCap</a>
|
|
or the <a
|
|
href="http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/socks/index.html?cks=y">Hummingbird</a>
|
|
SOCKS client. Let us know if you get them working so we can add better
|
|
instructions here.</p>
