## translation metadata # Revision: $Revision$ # Translation-Priority: 2-medium #include "head.wmi" TITLE="Tor: Mac OS X Install Instructions" <div class="center"> <div class="main-column"> <h1>Running the <a href="<page index>">Tor</a> client on Mac OS X</h1> <br /> <p> <b>Note that these are the installation instructions for running a Tor client on Mac OS X. If you want to relay traffic for others to help the network grow (please do), read the <a href="<page docs/tor-doc-relay>">Configuring a relay</a> guide.</b> </p> <hr /> <a id="installing"></a> <h2><a class="anchor" href="#installing">Step One: Download and Install Tor</a></h2> <br /> <p> The install for Macintosh OS X bundles <a href="<page index>">Tor</a>, <a href="http://www.vidalia-project.net/">Vidalia</a> (a GUI for Tor), <a href="<page torbutton/index>">Torbutton</a>, and <a href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> (a filtering web proxy) into one package, with the four applications pre-configured to work together. Download either the <a href="../<package-osx-bundle-stable>">stable</a> or the <a href="../<package-osx-bundle-alpha>">experimental</a> version of the OS X bundle, or look for more options on the <a href="<page download>">download page</a>. </p> <p>Our Tor installer should make everything pretty simple. Below is a screenshot of the setup page: </p> <p><img alt="tor installer splash page" src="../img/screenshot-osx-installer-splash.png" border="1"></p> <p>When the installer is finished, you can start Vidalia by selecting its icon from your Applications folder. A dark onion with a red X in your dock means Tor is not currently running. You can start Tor by selecting Start from the "Tor" menu at the top of your screen. </p> <p>When Tor is running, Vidalia's dock icon will look like the following: </p> <p><img alt="vidalia running tor" src="../img/screenshot-osx-vidalia.png" border="1"></p> <p>Privoxy is installed as part of the Tor bundle package installer. Once it is installed, it will start automatically when your computer is restarted. 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> <hr /> <a id="using"></a> <h2><a class="anchor" href="#using">Step Two: Configure your applications to use Tor</a></h2> <br /> <p>After installing Tor and Privoxy, you need to configure your applications to use them. The first step is to set up web browsing.</p> <p>You should use Tor with Firefox and Torbutton, for best safety. Torbutton was installed for you. Click on the red "Tor Disabled" toggle button to turn Tor on, and you're all set: </p> <p><img alt="Torbutton plugin for Firefox" src="../img/screenshot-torbutton.png" border="1"></p> <p> If you plan to run Firefox on a different computer than Tor, see the <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SocksListenAddress">FAQ entry for running Tor on a different computer</a>. </p> <p>To Torify other applications that support HTTP proxies, just point them at Privoxy (that is, localhost port 8118). To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can point your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">this FAQ entry</a> for why this may be dangerous. 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>.</p> <p>For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO">Torify HOWTO</a>. </p> <hr /> <a id="verify"></a> <h2><a class="anchor" href="#verify">Step Three: Make sure it's working</a></h2> <br /> <p> Next, you should try using your browser with Tor and make sure that your IP address is being anonymized. Click on <a href="https://check.torproject.org/">the Tor detector</a> and see whether it thinks you're using Tor or not. (If that site is down, see <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#IsMyConnectionPrivate">this FAQ entry</a> for more suggestions on how to test your Tor.) </p> <p>If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability to connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from your local applications to local port 8118 and port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so it can connect to at least TCP ports 80 and 443, and then see <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FirewalledClient">this FAQ entry</a>. </p> <p>If it's still not working, look at <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork">this FAQ entry</a> for hints.</p> <p> Once it's working, learn more about <a href="<page download>#Warning">what Tor does and does not offer</a>. </p> <hr /> <a id="server"></a> <a id="relay"></a> <h2><a class="anchor" href="#relay">Step Four: Configure it as a relay</a></h2> <br /> <p>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 configuring your Tor to be a relay too. We have many features that make Tor relays easy and convenient, including rate limiting for bandwidth, exit policies so you can limit your exposure to abuse complaints, and support for dynamic IP addresses.</p> <p>Having relays in many different places on the Internet is what makes Tor users secure. <a href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#RelayAnonymity">You may also get stronger anonymity yourself</a>, since remote sites can't know whether connections originated at your computer or were relayed from others.</p> <p>Read more at our <a href="<page docs/tor-doc-relay>">Configuring a relay</a> guide.</p> <hr /> <a id="uninstall"></a> <h2><a class="anchor" href="#uninstall">How To Uninstall Tor and Privoxy</a></h2> <br /> <p>The Tor 0.1.0.x series and beyond have a command line or Terminal-based uninstaller. If you want to remove Tor on OSX, here's how:</p> <p>Change your application proxy settings back to their original values. If you just want to stop using Tor, you can end at this point.</p> <p>If you want to completely remove Tor, and your account has Admin Privileges, then proceed as follows:</p> <ol> <li> Open up a Terminal or x-term session.</li> <li> cd /Library/Tor</li> <li> sudo -s</li> <li> ./uninstall_tor_bundle.sh</li> </ol> <p>Tor and Privoxy are now completely removed from your system.</p> <p>If you're using a version of the Tor installer that doesn't come with the uninstall_tor_bundle script, you will need to manually delete the following:</p> <ul> <li>/Library/Tor</li> <li>/Library/Privoxy</li> <li>/usr/bin/tor</li> <li>/usr/bin/tor_resolve</li> <li>/var/log/tor</li> <li>/usr/share/man/man1/tor.1</li> <li>/usr/share/man/man1/tor-resolve.1</li> <li>/usr/share/man/man1/torify.1</li> <li>/Library/Receipts/Privoxy.pkg/</li> <li>/Library/Receipts/privoxyconf.pkg/</li> <li>/Library/Receipts/Tor.pkg/</li> <li>/Library/Receipts/torstartup.pkg/</li> <li>/Library/Receipts/torbutton.pkg/</li> <li>/Library/StartupItems/Tor</li> <li>/Library/StartupItems/Privoxy</li> <li>/Library/Torbutton/</li> </ul> <hr /> <p>If you have suggestions for improving this document, please <a href="<page contact>">send them to us</a>.
