It uses a built-in +default configuration file, and most people won't need to change any of +the settings.</p> + +<p>After installing Tor, you should install <a +href="http://www.privoxy.org/">privoxy</a>, which is a filtering web proxy +that integrates well with Tor. Privoxy 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 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 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">Mozilla leaks your +DNS requests when it uses a socks proxy directly</a>. Privoxy also gives +you good html scrubbing.</p> + +<p>To test if it's working, go to <a +href="http://www.junkbusters.com/cgi-bin/privacy">http://www.junkbusters.com/cgi-bin/privacy</a> +and see what IP it says you're coming from. +</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. +For more troubleshooting suggestions, see <a +href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ">the FAQ</a>. +</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> + +<a name="hidden-service"></a> +<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> + +</body> +</html> + |
