- <h1>Running <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a> on Mac OS X</h1>
- <a name="installing"></a>
- <h2>Step One: Download and Install Tor</h2>
- <p>
- The latest beta release of Tor for Macintosh OS X is <a
- href="http://tor.eff.org/dist/osx/Tor 0.0.9.2 Bundle.dmg">0.0.9.2</a>.
- Download it by clicking the link. You may be able to find experimental versions
- <a href="http://tor.freehaven.net/dist/osx/">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>

- <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 selecting "Customize" in the Installer.</p>
- <img alt="select components to install"

- <P>
- And then checking the "Tor Startup Script" box as shown below.
- Be sure to leave the other boxes checked.
- </p>
- <img alt="select components to install"

- <p>Once the installer is finished and your computer restarts, Tor will
- start automatically. 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>
- <p>Privoxy is installed as part of the Tor bundle package
- installer. Privoxy is a filtering web proxy that integrates well with
- Tor. Once it's installed, it will start automatically when your computer
- is restarted.
- </p>
- <p>You do not need to configure Privoxy to use Tor. A custom Privoxy
- configuration for Tor has been installed as part of the installer package.
- </p>
- <a name="using"></a>
- <h2>Step Two: Configure your applications to use Tor</h2>
- <p>After installing Tor, you need to configure your applications to use
- it. The first step is to set up web browsing.
- Change your browser to HTTP proxy at localhost port 8118.
- (That's where Privoxy listens.)
- In Mozilla, this is in Mozilla|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies.
- In Firefox it's Firefox|Preferences|General|ConnectionSettings.
- You should set both your Web Proxy (HTTP) and your Secure Web Proxy
- (HTTPS or SSL) to localhost port 8118, to hide your SSL traffic too.
- <p>If you want to use Tor with Safari, you need to change your
- Network Settings. The process looks something like:</p>
- <img alt="LAN settings in IE"
- src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-choose-network.png"
- border="1">
- <p>
- Select your Network Preferences from the Apple | Location menu.</p>
- <img alt="Proxy settings in IE"
- src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-choose-interface.png"
- border="1">
- <P>
- <p>Select the Network Interface you want to enable Tor on. If you use
- more than one Interface you must change the proxy settings for each
- individually.</p>
- <img alt="Proxy settings in IE"
- src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-proxy-settings.png"
- border="1">
- <p>Select and enter localhost and port 8118 for both Web Proxy (HTTP)
- and your Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS)</p>
- <p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
- href="http://tor.eff.org/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 that limits your computer's ability
- to connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from your local
- applications to
- local port 8118 and port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing connections,
- punch a hole so it can connect to at least 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.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html">connect</a> or
- <a href="http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/">socat</a>. Let us know if
- you get them working so we can add better instructions here.</p>
- <p>If you have suggestions for improving this document, please post
- them on <a href="http://bugs.noreply.org/tor">our bugtracker</a> in the
- website category. Thanks!</p>
