     <h2><a class="anchor" href="#using">Step Two: Configure your applications to use Tor</a></h2>

     <br>

-    <p>After installing Tor, 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.

-    Simply install the <a

-    href="<page torbutton/index>">Torbutton

-    plugin</a>, restart your Firefox, and you're all set:

-    </p>

-    <img alt="Torbutton plugin for Firefox"

-    src="$(IMGROOT)/screenshot-torbutton.png"

-   >

     <p>

-    If you plan to run Firefox on a different computer than Tor, see the <a

-    href="<wikifaq>#SocksListenAddress">

-    FAQ

-    entry for running Tor on a different computer</a>.

-    </p>

-    

-    <p>To Torify other applications that support SOCKS proxies, just

-    point them at Tor's SOCKS port (127.0.0.1 port 9050). See <a

-    href="<wikifaq>#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="https://code.google.com/p/torsocks/">torsocks</a>

-    or <a href="<wiki>doc/TorifyHOWTO#socat">socat</a>.

+    If you want to use Tor for anonymous web browsing, please use the <a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor Browser Bundle</a>. It comes with readily configured Tor and a browser patched for better anonymity. 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="<wikifaq>#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="https://code.google.com/p/torsocks/">torsocks</a>

+    or <a href="http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/">socat</a>.

-    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="<wikifaq>#IsMyConnectionPrivate">this FAQ entry</a> for more

-    suggestions on how to test your Tor.)

-    

     <p>If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability

     to connect to itself (this includes something like SELinux on Fedora

     Core 4), be sure to allow connections from your local applications to

     Tor (local 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="<wikifaq>#FirewalledClient">this FAQ entry</a>.

-    If your SELinux config is not allowing tor or privoxy to run

+    If your SELinux config is not allowing tor to run

     correctly, create a file named booleans.local in the directory

     /etc/selinux/targeted.  Edit this file in your favorite text editor

     and insert "allow_ypbind=1".  Restart your machine for this change
