One trade off that has to be made for the anonymity Tor provides is that it can be considerably slower than a regular direct connection, due to the large amount of traffic re-routing. It keeps a user anonymous by encrypting traffic, sending it through other nodes of the Tor network, and decrypting it at the last node to receive your traffic before forwarding it to the server you specified. Through this process the onion proxy manages networking traffic for end-user anonymity. Tor employs cryptography in a layered manner (hence the 'onion' analogy), ensuring forward secrecy between routers. This software connects out to Tor, periodically negotiating a virtual circuit through the Tor network. Users of the Tor network run an onion proxy software on their machines, which presents a SOCKS interface to its clients. Its primary goal is to enable online anonymity by protecting against traffic analysis attacks. V.The Tor Project ( The onion routing) is an open source implementation of onion routing that provides free access to an anonymous proxy network. You will see a different location if Tor is working.
The package can be put on a LiveUSB with MX Linux, or installed on your desktop.Īpart from using Tor for your browser traffic, you can also act as a relay, which means you offer some of your bandwidth to be used by others.

Right-click the downloaded package > Extract Here.Download the Tor Browser from the Project Download page.Therefore, the following method is recommended: InstallationĪlthough there is a package in the repos called torbrowser-launcher, it will not install on MX 14. Tor website: “Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.” It is based on the concept of onion routing in which information negotiates a “virtual circuit” through the network each node knows its predecessor and successor, but no others.
