====Tor====
~network privacy
==Donate Bandwidth==
~The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run relays, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have at least 20 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor by [[http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay.html.en configuring your Tor to be a relay]] too.
==Installation==
~-[[software software package]]:
~~-[[http://www.datafilehost.com/download-3eb93d75.html tor-0.2.3.25-up-20121121.pet]]
~~-[[http://www.datafilehost.com/download-a0e612c5.html tor-0.2.2.39-up-20120912.pet]]
---
~-dependencies: +[[bzip2]],+[[grep]],+[[libevent]],+[[openssl]],+[[polipo]],+[[tar]]
---
~-Tor is dependent on Polipo and libevent being installed. It is recommended that the latest, stable version of openssl is also installed.
---
~-Tor is dependent on the host computer having its clock synchronized with that of the network clock: [[Psync]]
---
~-the Web browser is only able to make use of Tor when:
~~- [[Polipo the Web browser has been configured to use Polipo]]
~~- both Tor and Polipo are also running as well; running the above Tor package will auto-start Polipo (assuming it has already been installed)
~~~-//Menu > Network > Tor//
---
~-confirmation of successful Tor connection:
~~-http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/
~~-https://check.torproject.org/
---
~-the current Tor circuit may be terminated and a new Tor circuit established at any time:
~~-//Menu > Network > Tor//
---
~-%%./configure CFLAGS="-mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu%%
==How to use Tor==
~1. Browsing using tor is simply clicking on Tor-Browser from the Internet menu everything is already set up since it is from the Tor bundle so it is a seperate FF browser than what is used for JAP and Freedom.
~2. While the Tor-Browser is faster it is much less secure and does not have security settings that are in place for the main FF browser with [[JAP]] and [[YourFreedom]], it was included for those who wanted a little bit of security yet still somewhat decent browsing speeds, I highly recommend using [[Elinks]] with Freedom if you want to stay highly secure yet still get high browsing speeds.
