+
+    <p>
+    Tor may attempt to connect to any port that is advertised in the directory as an ORPort (for making Tor connections) or a DirPort (for fetching updates to the directory). There are a variety of these ports, but many of them are running on 80, 443, 9001, and 9030.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+So as a client, you could probably get away with opening only those four ports. Since Tor does all its connections in the background, it will retry ones that fail, and hopefully you'll never have to know that it failed, as long as it finds a working one often enough. However, to get the most diversity in your entry nodes -- and thus the most security -- as well as the most robustness in your connectivity, you'll want to let it connect to all of them.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+If you really need to connect to only a small set of ports, see the FAQ entry on firewalled ports.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Note that if you're running as a Tor relay, you must allow outgoing connections to every other relay, and to anywhere your exit policy advertises that you allow. The cleanest way to do that is to simply allow all outgoing connections at your firewall. If you don't, clients will try to use these connections and things won't work.

+    <p>
+    There are sites you can visit that will tell you if you appear to be coming through the Tor network. Try the <a href="https://check.torproject.org">Tor Check</a> site and see whether it thinks you are using Tor or not.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+If that site is down, you can still test, but it will involve more effort: <a>http://ipid.shat.net</a> and <a>http://www.showmyip.com/</a> will tell you what your IP address appears to be, but you'll need to know your current IP address so you can compare and decide whether you're using Tor correctly.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+To learn your IP address on OS X, Linux, BSD, etc, run "ifconfig". On Windows, go to the Start menu, click Run and enter "cmd". At the command prompt, enter "ipconfig /a".
+    </p>
+    <p>
+If you are behind a NAT or firewall, though, your IP address will be within the range of 10.XXX.XXX.XXX, 192.168.XXX.XXX, or 172.16.XXX.XXX - 172.31.XXX.XXX, which is not your public IP address. In this case, you should check your IP address with one of the sites above without using Tor, and then check again using Tor to see whether your IP address has changed.

+Why does Google show up in foreign languages?</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+ Google uses "geolocation" to determine where in the world you are, so it can give you a personalized experience. This includes using the language it thinks you prefer, and it also includes giving you different results on your queries.
+</p>
+<p>
+If you really want to see Google in English you can click the link that provides that. But we consider this a feature with Tor, not a bug --- the Internet is not flat, and it in fact does look different depending on where you are. This feature reminds people of this fact. The easy way to avoid this "feature" is to use <a>http://google.com/ncr</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note that Google search URLs take name/value pairs as arguments and one of those names is "hl". If you set "hl" to "en" then Google will return search results in English regardless of what Google server you have been sent to. On a query this looks like: http://google.com/search?q=...&amp;hl=en&amp;..g
+</p>
+<p>
+In Firefox you can search for the google.src file and add the line &lt;input name="hl" value="en"&gt;g to it. Then restart Firefox and it will automatically add the "hl=en" name/value pair to all queries made from the search bar so you will get English results regardless of which Google server you have been sent to. Note that this file is actually 'hidden' as part of the application container on Macs. To get to this file on a Mac you have to right click on the Firefox application icon and select "Show Package Contents" then navigate to Contents/MacOS/searchplugins.
+</p>
+<p>
+Another method is to simply use your  country code for accessing Google. This can be google.be, google.de, google.us and so on. You can also set your language by first selecting it in the Language Tools section, search for something simple. Then extract the language from the URL. In this example, we'll choose Hebrew:  <a>http://www.google.com/search?lr=lang_g'''iw</a>. Next, use that string in the url:  <a>http://google.com/intl/iw/</a>. This can obviously be set as your homepage or bookmarked if necessary.

+<ul>
+    <li>"err": something bad just happened, and we can't recover. Tor will exit.</li>

+    <p>
+    By default, your Tor client only listens for applications that connect from localhost. Connections from other computers are refused. If you want to torify applications on different computers than the Tor client, you should edit your torrc to define SocksListenAddress 0.0.0.0 g and then restart (or hup) Tor. If you want to get more advanced, you can configure your Tor client on a firewall to bind to your internal IP but not your external IP.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#ServerClient">Can I install Tor on a central server, and have my clients connect to it?</a></h3>
+    <p>
+     Yes. Tor can be configured as a client or a relay on another machine, and allow other machines to be able to connect to it for anonymity. This is most useful in an environment where many computers want a gateway of anonymity to the rest of the world. However, be forwarned that with this configuration, anyone within your private network (existing between you and the Tor client/relay) can see what traffic you are sending in clear text. The anonymity doesn't start until you get to the Tor relay. Because of this, if you are the controller of your domain and you know everything's locked down, you will be OK, but this configuration may not be suitable for large private networks where security is key all around.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Configuration is simple, editing your torrc file's SocksListenAddress according to the following examples:
+    </p>
+    <pre>
+  SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 #This provides local interface access only, needs SocksPort to be greater than 0
+  SocksListenAddress 192.168.x.x:9100 #This provides access to Tor on a specified interface
+  SocksListenAddress 0.0.0.0:9100 #Accept from all interfaces
+    </pre>
+    <p>
+You can state multiple listen addresses, in the case that you are part of several networks or subnets.
+    </p>
+    <pre>
+  SocksListenAddress 192.168.x.x:9100 #eth0
+  SocksListenAddress 10.x.x.x:9100 #eth1
+    </pre>
+    <p>
+After this, your clients on their respective networks/subnets would specify a socks proxy with the address and port you specified SocksListenAddress to be. 
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Please note that the SocksPort configuration option gives the port ONLY for localhost (127.0.0.1). When setting up your SocksListenAddress(es), you need to give the port with the address, as shown above.
+    <p>
+If you are interested in forcing all outgoing data through the central Tor client/relay, instead of the server only being an optional proxy, you may find the program iptables (for *nix) useful.

+<h3><a class="anchor" href="#ChoosePathLength">You should let people choose their path length.</a></h3>
+<p>
+ Right now the path length is hard-coded at 3 plus the number of nodes in your path that are sensitive. That is, in normal cases it's 3, but for example if you're accessing a hidden service or a ".exit" address it could be 4.
+</p>

+ We don't want to encourage people to use paths longer than this -- it increases load on the network without (as far as we can tell) providing any more security.

+</p>
+<p>
+ And we don't want to encourage people to use paths of length 1 either. Currently there is no reason to suspect that investigating a single relay will yield user-destination pairs, but if many people are using only a single hop, we make it more likely that attackers will seize or break into relays in hopes of tracing users.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Now, there is a good argument for making the number of hops in a path unpredictable. For example, somebody who happens to control the last two hops in your path still doesn't know who you are, but they know for sure which entry node you used. Choosing path length from, say, a geometric distribution will turn this into a statistical attack, which seems to be an improvement. On the other hand, a longer path length is bad for usability. We're not sure of the right trade-offs here. Please write a research paper that tells us what to do.

+
+    <p>
+ We don't currently think this is a good idea. You see, the attacks we're worried about are at the endpoints: the adversary watches Alice (or the first hop in the path) and Bob (or the last hop in the path) and learns that they are communicating.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+If we make the assumption that timing attacks work well on even a few packets end-to-end, then having *more* possible ways for the adversary to observe the connection seems to hurt anonymity, not help it.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Now, it's possible that we could make ourselves more resistant to end-to-end attacks with a little bit of padding and by making each circuit send and receive a fixed number of cells. This approach is more well-understood in the context of high-latency systems. See e.g. <a href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#pet05-serjantov">Message Splitting Against the Partial Adversary by Andrei Serjantov and Steven J. Murdoch</a>.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+But since we don't currently understand what network and padding parameters, if any, could provide increased end-to-end security, our current strategy is to minimize the number of places that the adversary could possibly see.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#UnallocatedNetBlocks">Your default exit policy should block unallocated net blocks too.</a></h3>
+
+    <p>
+ No, it shouldn't. The default exit policy blocks certain private net blocks, like 10.0.0.0/8, because they might actively be in use by Tor relays and we don't want to cause any surprises by bridging to internal networks. Some overzealous firewall configs suggest that you also block all the parts of the Internet that IANA has not currently allocated. First, this turns into a problem for them when those addresses *are* allocated. Second, why should we default-reject something that might one day be useful?
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Tor's default exit policy is chosen to be flexible and useful in the future: we allow everything except the specific addresses and ports that we anticipate will lead to problems.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#BlockWebsites">Exit policies should be able to block websites, not just IP addresses.</a></h3>
+
+    <p>
+ It would be nice to let relay operators say things like "reject www.slashdot.org" in their exit policies, rather than requiring them to learn all the IP address space that could be covered by the site (and then also blocking other sites at those IP addresses).
+    </p>
+    <p>
+There are two problems, though. First, users could still get around these blocks. For example, they could request the IP address rather than the hostname when they exit from the Tor network. This means operators would still need to learn all the IP addresses for the destinations in question.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+The second problem is that it would allow remote attackers to censor arbitrary sites. For example, if a Tor operator blocks www1.slashdot.org, and then some attacker poisons the Tor relay's DNS or otherwise changes that hostname to resolve to the IP address for a major news site, then suddenly that Tor relay is blocking the news site.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#BlockContent">You should change Tor to prevent users from posting certain content.</a></h3>
+
+    <p> Tor only transports data, it does not inspect the contents of the connections which are sent over it. In general it's a very hard problem for a computer to determine what is objectionable content with good true positive/false positive rates and we are not interested in addressing this problem.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Further, and more importantly, which definition of "certain content" could we use? Every choice would lead to a quagmire of conflicting personal morals. The only solution is to have no opinion.

+    <h3><a class="anchor" href="#IPv6">Tor should support IPv6.</a></h3>
+
+    <p>
+     That's a great idea! There are two aspects for IPv6 support that Tor needs. First, Tor needs to support exit to hosts that only have IPv6 addresses. Second, Tor needs to support Tor relays that only have IPv6 addresses.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+The first is far easier: the protocol changes are relatively simple and isolated. It would be like another kind of exit policy.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+The second is a little harder: right now, we assume that (mostly) every Tor relay can connect to every other. This has problems of its own, and adding IPv6-address-only relays adds problems too: it means that only relays with IPv6 abilities can connect to IPv6-address-only relays. This makes it possible for the attacker to make some inferences about client paths that it would not be able to make otherwise.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+There is an  IPv6 exit proposal to address the first step for anonymous access to IPv6 resources on the Internet.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+Full IPv6 support is definitely on our "someday" list; it will come along faster if somebody who wants it does some of the work.
