<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"

|

|
|
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.

<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>

|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|

<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>

|
<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>

<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>
