<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>

<p>The screenshots here are oriented towards Windows users, but
SwitchProxy works anywhere Firefox works. Hopefully everybody else can
follow along just fine.</p>

<h3>Step Zero: Download and Install Tor and Privoxy</h3>

<p>Before you start, you need to make sure 1) Tor is up and running,
2) Privoxy is up and running, and 3) Privoxy is configured to point
to Tor.</p>

<p>For Windows users, this means <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 Windows Tor installation howto. Mac OS X users just need
to do <a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html#installing">step
one</a> of OS X Tor installation howto, since our OS X package includes
Privoxy and configures it already.</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"

<p>Once the installer is finished, it will tell you that SwitchProxy
will be working once you restart Firefox:</p>

<h3>Step Two: Configure SwitchProxy</h3>

<p>Now restart your Firefox. You'll notice there's 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 you 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. (The first entry is
HTTP, and the second one is typically called something like HTTPS, SSL,
or Secure.) 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 the page and <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#GoogleLanguage">happened
to get a German exit node</a>:</p>
