+<b><a class="anchor" href="#Warning">Warning: Want Tor to really

+work?</a></b>

+

+<p>...then please don't just install it and go on.  You need to change

+some of your habits, and reconfigure your software!

+Tor by itself is <b>NOT</b> all you need to maintain your anonymity.

+There are several major pitfalls to watch out for:

+</p>

+

+<ol>

+<li>Tor only protects Internet applications that are configured to

+send their traffic through Tor — it doesn't magically anonymize

+all your traffic just because you install it.  We recommend you

+use <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/firefox">Firefox</a> with the <a

+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2275/">Torbutton</a> extension.

+<!-- , and follow <a href="comingsoon">other recommendations for other

+supported applications</a>. -->

+</li>

+

+<li>Browser plugins such as Java, Flash, ActiveX, RealPlayer,

+Quicktime, Adobe's PDF plugin, and others can be manipulated

+into revealing your IP address. You should probably uninstall your plugins

+(go to "about:plugins" to see what is installed), or investigate <a

+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1237/">QuickJava</a>, <a

+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/">FlashBlock</a>, and

+<a href="http://noscript.net/">NoScript</a>

+if you really need them. Consider removing extensions that look up

+more information about the websites you type in (like Google toolbar),

+as they may bypass Tor and/or broadcast sensitive information. Some

+people prefer using two browsers (one for Tor, one for unsafe browsing).

+<!-- You may even want to use a text browser, such as <a

+href="http://lynx.browser.org/">lynx</a> when you are using Tor. -->

+<!-- You may also find

+<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/">NoScript</a> and <a

+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/">AdBlock</a> helpful. -->

+</li>

+

+<li>Beware of cookies: if you ever browse without Tor and Privoxy

+and a site gives you a cookie, that cookie could identify you even when

+you start using Tor again. You should clear your cookies frequently. <a

+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/82/">CookieCuller</a> can help

+protect any cookies you do not want to lose.

+</li>

+

+<li>Tor anonymizes the origin of your traffic,

+and it encrypts everything inside the Tor network, but <a

+href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ExitEavesdroppers">it

+can't encrypt your traffic between the Tor network and its final

+destination.</a>

+If you are communicating sensitive information, you should use as much

+care as you would on the normal scary Internet — use SSL or other

+end-to-end encryption and authentication.

+</li>

+

+<li>While Tor blocks attackers

+on your local network from discovering or influencing your destination,

+it opens new risks: malicious or misconfigured Tor exit nodes can send

+you the wrong page, or even send you embedded Java applets disguised as

+domains you trust.

+</li>

+</ol>

+

+<p>Be smart and learn more. Understand what Tor does and does not offer.

+This list of pitfalls isn't complete, and we need your

+help <a href="<page volunteer>#Documentation">identifying and documenting

+all the issues</a>.

+</p>

+

+<h2>Developers: test releases & source code</h2>

+

+<p>

+These releases are alpha, and are released for testing and development purposes.

+Even though these have a higher version number than the stable versions

+listed above, there is a much higher chance of serious bugs in these downloads.

+Unless you have a specific reason to use these alpha builds, please use

+the stable versions above for better reliability and security.

+Tor 0.2.0.8-alpha

+<a href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Oct-2007/msg00123.html">fixes

+a crash bug that's been bothering us since February 2007, lets

+bridge authorities store a list of bridge descriptors they've seen,

+gets v3 directory voting closer to working, starts caching v3 directory

+consensus documents on directory mirrors, and fixes a variety of smaller

+issues including some minor memory leaks</a>.

+The Windows bundle also includes the new <a

+href="https://torbutton.torproject.org/dev/">development Torbutton

+version 1.1.8</a>, which improves usability and compatibility over 1.1.7.

+Windows users are encouraged to

+back up their Firefox settings before upgrading.

+In addition, this snapshot fixes major load balancing problems

+with path selection, which should speed things up a lot once many
