How do we configure another browser to use Tor? [closed]

Follow these steps:

  1. Download OperaTOR from here.

  2. Install OperaTOR - a TOR client for the Opera browser.

  3. Verify that TOR is working correctly using the pre-installed bookmark "Are you using Tor?

  4. Start Google Chrome.

  5. Using the Tools menus (it looks like a wrench), choose options, "Under the hood". Scroll down to "Network" and click the "Change Proxy Setting" button.

  6. Under the "Connections" tab, choose "LAN Setting" - Select Use Proxy server and enter "Localhost" and port 8118.

  7. Save your work and return to the Chrome web browser. Check that you are using TOR by going here.

  8. A Green message will indicate that TOR is operating correctly. A Red message will indicate that TOR is not set up correctly.

  9. Continue to surf using TOR

This is for GNU/Linux

I have a script, chromium-tor, that boots Chromium already connected to a running Tor daemon. On any Ubuntu/Debian system,

sudo apt-get install vidalia

will install Vidalia, an easy Tor admin interface. Run Vidalia (alt-F2, run "vidalia") and wait for it to give you the all-go. Then run this line:

chromium --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050"

depending on whatever your distro's binary is for Chrome or whether or not you use Chromium, you may have to modify that line. This should work.

To run as a single command, make a file /usr/bin/chromium-tor (you'll need root privileges to do so)

#!/bin/bash

chromium --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050"

If you use google-chrome for your binary, google-chrome-tor for the name would be better, and replace chromium with google-chrome in the script. You'll also need to do

chmod +x /usr/bin/chromium-tor

before it will work.

Edit: For Ubuntu, use chromium-browser instead of chromium in /usr/bin/chromium-tor and sometimes port number 9150 is also used.

#!/bin/bash

chromium-browser --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050"
