-    The Vidalia Bundles for Windows contain <a href="<page

-    index>">Tor</a> and <a href="<page projects/vidalia>">Vidalia</a>

-    (a graphical user interface for Tor).

-    They come in different flavors, preconfigured for a convenient setup: The Relay bundle is set to forward traffic for other Tor users, the Bridge bundle turns your computer into a <a href="<page docs/bridges>">bridge</a>. Apart from that preconfiguration, all Vidalia bundles are the same and can easily be reconfigured.

-    </p>

-

-    <p>

-    For anonymous web browsing, please use <a href="<page projects/torbrowser>">Tor Browser</a> and not one of the Vidalia bundles. If you want to use Tor as a client for other applications, download one of the Vidalia bundles and turn it into a client (Settings -&gt; Sharing -&gt; Run as a client only).</p>

-    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 at Tor (localhost

-    port 9050), but see <a href="<wikifaq>#SOCKSAndDNS">this FAQ

-    entry</a> for why this may be dangerous. 

-    For applications with HTTP proxy support, but no support for Tor's SOCKS proxy, try <a href="http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/polipo/">polipo</a>. For applications that

-    support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at SocksCap or <a

-    href="http://www.freecap.ru/eng/">FreeCap</a>.  (FreeCap is free

-    software; SocksCap is proprietary.)</p>

-    Check to see that Vidalia is running.  Vidalia uses a small green onion

-    to indicate Tor is running or a dark onion with a red "X" when Tor is

-    not running. You can start or stop Tor by right-clicking

-    on Vidalia's icon in your system tray and selecting "Start" or "Stop"

-    from the menu as shown below:

-    <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 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>.
