  1. Quickstart version for users:
  2. 0) Download the absolute newest version. No, really.
  3. http://freehaven.net/tor/
  4. 1) tar xvf it, and then cd into the directory.
  5. 2) ./configure (or do the two-line version in the README, if you're on bsd)
  6. 3) make
  7. 4) cd src/config
  8. 5) ../or/tor -f oprc
  9. You don't need to run this as root, and you probably shouldn't.
  10. 6) point your browser to socks4 or socks5 proxy at localhost port
  11. 9050. In mozilla, this is in edit|preferences|advanced|proxies. This
  12. allows you to test to make sure tor is installed correctly.
  13. (If you have a personal firewall, be sure to allow connections to
  14. localhost port 9050.)
  15. 7) make sure you've set it up correctly: go to
  16. http://www.junkbusters.com/cgi-bin/privacy and see what IP it says
  17. you're coming from. If it works, you should probably go on to step 8,
  18. to get better privacy.
  19. 8) Optionally, install privoxy (www.privoxy.org), and add the line
  20. "forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 ." (without the quotes) to its config
  21. file. Then change your mozilla to http proxy at localhost port 8118 (and
  22. no socks proxy). This step will give you good html scrubbing as well.
  23. (See doc/CLIENTS for why direct socks gives you less anonymity.)
  24. *****If this works for you, you can stop reading here******
  25. If you got the source from cvs:
  26. Run "./autogen.sh", which will run the various auto* programs and then
  27. run ./configure for you. From there, start at step 3 in the quickstart
  28. list above.
  29. If the quickstart doesn't work for you:
  30. If you have problems finding libraries, try
  31. CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" \
  32. ./configure
  33. rather than simply ./configure.
  34. Check out the list archives at http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/ and see
  35. if somebody else has reported your problem. If not, please subscribe
  36. and let us know what you did to fix it, or give us the details and
  37. we'll see what we can do.
