+<h1>Installing SwitchProxy for <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a></h1>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>
|
|
|
+SwitchProxy is a Firefox plugin that makes it easy for you to switch
|
|
|
+between using a proxy and connecting to websites directly.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>In this howto, you're going to set up SwitchProxy to let you change
|
|
|
+between using Privoxy and a direct connection. We assume you already
|
|
|
+have Firefox installed and working.</p>
|
|
|

|
|
|
+<h3>Step Zero: Download and Install Tor and Privoxy</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Before you start, you need to do <a
|
|
|
+href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html#installing">step one</a>
|
|
|
+and <a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html#privoxy">step
|
|
|
+two</a> of the Tor installation howto. When you're done, Tor will be up
|
|
|
+and running, Privoxy will be up and running, and Privoxy will be configured
|
|
|
+to point to Tor.</p>

|
|
|
+<h3>Step One: Download and Install SwitchProxy</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>SwitchProxy is a Firefox plugin, so you need to go through
|
|
|
+the process of installing a new plugin. First, go to the <a
|
|
|
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=125">
|
|
|
+SwitchProxy</a> web page. It looks like this -- click on the "Install
|
|
|
+Now" button.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="switchproxy web page"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-webpage.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>It will pop up a window asking for permission to install the plugin.
|
|
|
+Click on "Install Now":
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="firefox plugin warning"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-starting.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Once the installer is finished, it will tell you that you SwitchProxy
|
|
|
+will be working once you restart Firefox:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="firefox plugin finished"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-finished.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<hr />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<a name="two"></a>
|
|
|
+<h3>Step Two: Configure SwitchProxy</h3>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Now restart your Firefox. You'll notice there's now a new toolbar
|
|
|
+that lets you control your proxies. Now we're going to set up a proxy
|
|
|
+configuration for Privoxy. Click on "add":</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="new toolbar"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-toolbar.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>It will ask to select a proxy type. Choose "Standard." (There's also
|
|
|
+an "anonymous" proxy type that uses an ad hoc set of anonymous proxies
|
|
|
+out there. You don't want this -- Tor is better.)</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="standard proxy"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxytype.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Now it will show you the standard proxy config window for Firefox.
|
|
|
+Give this configuration a proxy label of "tor". Then fill in "localhost"
|
|
|
+and "8118" for the first two entries, as shown here. Then click "OK":</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="proxy config"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxyconfig.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Now you've created the "tor" proxy label, but you're not using it yet.
|
|
|
+Click on the pull-down list and select tor, as shown here:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="switch to tor"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-switch.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Almost done. It may look like you're using Tor now, but you need to
|
|
|
+click "Apply" to make your change take effect:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="apply"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-apply.jpg" />
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Done! Firefox will reload your current page. In this example screenshot,
|
|
|
+it reloaded google.com and happened to get a German exit node:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<img alt="german google"
|
|
|
+src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-german.jpg" />
