32)     Macports is a package manager for Mac OS X which provides a Tor package,
33)     along a lot of other stuff. Follow the instructions on <a

43)     <pre>sudo port install tor</pre>

44) 

45)     <p>You will find a sample Tor configuration file at

54)     To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can
55)     point your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see <a
56)     href="<wikifaq>#SOCKSAndDNS">this FAQ entry</a> for why this may be
57)     dangerous. For applications that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a
58)     look at <a href="http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/">socat</a>.</p>

62)     </p>

63) 

64)     <p>If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability to
65)     connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from your local
66)     applications to local port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing
67)     connections, punch a hole so it can connect to at least TCP ports 80 and
68)     443, and then see <a href="<wikifaq>#FirewalledClient">this FAQ entry</a>.
