- <h1>Running <a href="http://tor.freehaven.net/">Tor</a> on Win32</h1>
- <a name="installing"></a>
- <h2>Step One: Download and Install Tor</h2>
- <p>
- The latest stable release of Tor for Windows 32 is <a
- href="http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/win32/tor-0.0.9.1-win32.exe">0.0.9.1</a>.
- Download it by clicking the link. You may be able to find experimental versions
- <a href="http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/win32/">here</a>, if you're looking for
- new features and new bugs.
- </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"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-installer-splash.jpg" />
- <p>
- 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>
- <img alt="select components to install"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-installer-components.jpg" />
- <p>Once the installer is finished, it will run Tor in a DOS window so
- you can see its logs and errors. (You can minimize this window, but do
- not close it.)
- </p>
- <img alt="tor window screenshot"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-dos-window.jpg" />
- <p>Tor comes configured as a client by default. It uses a built-in
- default configuration file, and most people won't need to change any of
- the settings. Tor is now installed.</p>

- <h2>Step Two: Install Privoxy for Web Browsing</h2>
- <p>After installing Tor, you need to configure your applications to use it.
- 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 Win32 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:
- </p>
- <img alt="privoxy icon in the system tray"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-privoxy-icon.jpg" />
- <p>You need to configure Privoxy to use Tor.
- Open Privoxy's main config file by selecting it from Start Menu|All
- Programs:
- </p>
- <img border="1" alt="editing privoxy config"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-privoxy-config.jpg" />
- <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>
- <img border="1" alt="privoxy points to tor"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-privoxy-edit.jpg" />
- <a name="using"></a>
- <h2>Step Three: Configure your applications to use Tor</h2>
- <p>Then change your browser to HTTP proxy at localhost port 8118.
- (That's where Privoxy listens.)
- 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. In IE, this looks something like:</p>
- <img alt="LAN settings in IE"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-ie-lan.jpg" />
- <img alt="Proxy settings in IE"
- src="http://tor.freehaven.net/img/screenshot-ie-proxies.jpg" />
- <p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
- href="http://tor.freehaven.net/cvs/tor/doc/CLIENTS">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 test if it's working, go to <a
- href="http://peertech.org/privacy-knoppix/">this site</a> and see
- what IP it says you're coming from. (If it's down, you can try the
- <a href="http://www.junkbusters.com/cgi-bin/privacy">junkbusters</a>
- site instead.)</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 another application that supports HTTP, just point it at Privoxy
- (that is, localhost port 8118). To use SOCKS directly (for example, for
- instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), point your application directly at
- Tor (localhost port 9050). For applications that support neither SOCKS
- nor HTTP, take a look at <a
- href="http://www.socks.permeo.com/Download/SocksCapDownload/index.asp">SocksCap</a>,
- <a href="http://www.freecap.ru/eng/">FreeCap</a>,
- or the <a
- href="http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/socks/index.html?cks=y">Hummingbird</a>
- SOCKS client. (FreeCap is free software; the others are proprietary.)
- Let us know if you get them working so we can add better
- instructions here.</p>
