<h2>Installing Tor</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can get the latest releases <a
|
|
href="http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/win32/">here</a>. Look for the
|
|
highest version (most recent date) that includes "-win32.exe".
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Our Tor installer should make everything pretty simple:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<p>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. It will appear in your system
|
|
tray:
|
|
</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:</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>
|
|
(don't forget the dot) to privoxy's config file (you can just add it to the
|
|
top):</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:</p>
|
|
|
|
<img alt="privoxy points to tor" src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/GCS_001.jpg" />
|
|
<img alt="privoxy points to tor" 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 also 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>
|
|
|
|
<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>

|
<h2>Configuring a hidden service</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Tor allows clients and servers to offer <em>hidden services</em>. That
|
|
is, you can offer an apache, sshd, etc, without revealing your IP to its
|
|
users. This works via Tor's rendezvous point design: both sides build
|
|
a Tor circuit out, and they meet in the middle.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you've installed Tor and Privoxy, you can <a
|
|
href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">go to the hidden wiki</a> to see
|
|
hidden services in action.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To set up a hidden service, edit your torrc:</p>
|
|
|
|
[screenshot here of clicking on tor|torrc]
|
|
|
|
<p>Edit the middle part to enable your service. Then restart Tor. It will
|
|
create each HiddenServiceDir you have configured, and it will create a
|
|
'hostname' file which specifies the url (xyz.onion) for that service. You
|
|
can tell people the url, and they can connect to it via their Tor client,
|
|
assuming they're also using Tor and Privoxy.</p>
