- <h1>Running the <a href="http://tor.eff.org/">Tor</a> client on Mac OS X</h1>
- <a name="installing"></a>
- <h2>Step One: Download and Install Tor</h2>
- <p>
- <b>Note that these are the installation instructions for running a client on
- Mac OS X. If you want to run a server (please do), read the "Configuring a
- server" section at <a href="tor-doc.html#server">tor-doc.html</a>.</b>
- </p>
- <p>
- This document was updated June 09 2005.
- </p>
- <p>
- The latest beta release of Tor for Macintosh OS X is <a
- href="http://tor.eff.org/dist/osx/Tor 0.1.0.9-rc Bundle.dmg">0.1.0.9-rc</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 (your version will probably be newer than
- the version printed in this screenshot):
- </p>
- <img alt="tor installer splash page"

- <p>
- By default, Tor is configured to run at startup. If you do not want Tor to
- run on startup, you can disable this by selecting "Customize" in the
- Installer, and then un-checking the "Tor Startup Script" box. Be sure to
- leave the other boxes checked.
- </p>
- <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 in <tt>/Library/Tor/torrc</tt>,
- but 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 127.0.0.1 and port 8118 for both Web Proxy (HTTP)
- and your Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS). Leave your Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) setting as is.</p>
- <p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a
- href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">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, you need to know your normal IP address
- so you can verify that the address really changes when running Tor.
- Your local IP address is shown by the <tt>ifconfig</tt> command.
- If you are behind a NAT/Firewall you can use one of the sites listed
- below to check which IP you are using.
- When that is done, start Tor and Privoxy and visit any of the sites again.
- If everything works, your IP address should have changed.
- </p>
- <p>
- <!--<a href="http://peertech.org/privacy-knoppix/">peertech</a>, -->
- <a href="http://www.showmyip.com/">showmyip.com</a> and
- <a href="http://ipid.shat.net">ipid.shat.net</a>
- are sites that show your current IP so you can see
- what address and country you're coming from.
- </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>.

- <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>
- <h2>How To Uninstall</h2>
- <p>The Tor 0.1.0.x series does not come with an uninstaller; this feature
- will be added in the 0.1.1.x series. If you want to remove Tor on OSX,
- here's how:</p>
- <p>Change your application proxy settings back to their original values.
- If you just want to stop using Tor, you can end at this point.</p>
- <p>To stop Tor and Privoxy from running on startup</b>, remove the
- /Library/StartupItems/Tor and /Library/StartupItems/Privoxy directories
- respectively. If you just want to stop Tor from running, you can end at this
- point.</p>
- <p>To erase all remaining Tor and Privoxy files from your computer, delete
- the following:
- <ul><li>/Library/Tor</li>
- <li>/Library/Privoxy</li>
- <li>/usr/bin/tor</li>
- <li>/usr/bin/tor_resolve</li>
- <li>/var/log/tor</li>
- <li>/usr/share/man/man1/tor.1</li>
- <li>/usr/share/man/man1/tor-resolve.1</li>
- <li>/usr/share/man/man1/torify.1</li>
- </ul>
