Install Tor Browser from the Distribution Repository.
How to Install the Tor Browser on Linux.For me it was mostly an academic exercise. Actually, I don't like the way the bundle does the country lists (it allows all, IIRC). Even those kinds of choices may impact the situation negatively (IMO). For instance, the user can select which countries to allow for connections to nodes (entry and exit). There are also logistical choices to make. In my non-expert opinion, there are all sorts of gotchas, including DNS leaks, browser fingerprinting, and various other things, both in the proxy set-up and in the browser set-up that kill off the privacy factor when poorly configured. If for real, I detect that your somewhat incomplete familiarization may point you to the bundle, which would mean using an x86 machine for Tor, at the present. I suppose it depends if this is an academic exercise, or for real. So, you're working on your own, and at your own risk, when you play it by hand. This is why they suggest to use the bundle, with preconfigured browser AND proxy. BUT BUT BUT - it should be noted that the Tor-browser package selects a bunch of other Firefox configuration details that - left configured improperly - cause the whole setup to "leak" (i.e. The user could then add the local address "127.0.0.1" and the port "9050" to the socks line in the proxy dialog.Īssuming the user has correctly set-up the torrc config file, then this scenario generally works. In a regular old Firefox setup (when not using the official Tor browser) - the user could then go to the "Preferences-Advanced-Network-Settings" preferences tab, and change the checkbox in the dialog to allow for a manual proxy selection.
