entry</a>. If you dont mind running in a window (so you can see its logs
|
||||
and errors) our Tor installer should make everything pretty simple. Below
|

is a screenshot of the setup page (your version will probably be newer
|
||||
than the version printed in this screenshot):
|

</p>
|

The installer bundles Tor,

||||
<a href="http://www.privoxy.org">Privoxy</a>, and
|
||||
<a href="http://www.freehaven.net/~edmanm/torcp/">TorCP</a> into
|
||||
one package, with the three applications pre-configured to work
|
||||
together. Privoxy is a filtering web proxy that integrates well
|
||||
with Tor. TorCP is a Tor controller that allows you to monitor
|
||||
and control Tor.

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>If you have previously installed Tor, Privoxy, or TorCP
|
||||
you can deselect whichever components you do not need to install
|
||||
in the dialog shown below.

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Once the installer is finished, it will run Tor in a window so
|
||||
you can see its logs and errors. (When you wish to browse anonymously,
|
||||
you may minimize this window, but do not close it.)
|
||||
<p>After you have completed the installer, the components
|
||||
you selected will automatically be started for you.

|

<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>You need to configure Privoxy to use Tor.
|

Open Privoxy's main config file by selecting it from Start Menu|All

Programs:

|
||||
|
||||
<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>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>

Be sure to save.
