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> + +<img alt="tor installer splash page" +src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-installer-splash.png" +border="1"> + +<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" +src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-installer-customize.png" +border="1"> + +<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" +src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-osx-installer-components.png" +border="1"> + +<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.) For Safari you need to change your +Network Settings. Other web browers allow you to change proxy settings +individually.</p> + +<p>In Mozilla, this is in Mozilla|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies. +In Firefox it's Firefox|Preferences|General|ConnectionSettings</p> + +<P>You should set both your Web Proxy (HTTP) and your Secure Web Proxy +(HTTPS) to the same thing, to hide your SSL traffic. For Safari, this +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 proxie 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, 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.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.
