Using Tor

Download and install the Tor browser

  • For Windows as of Aug 17, 2014, the download is a 26 mb .exe file that will consume 76.5 mb of hard drive space.
  • After installing Tor, visit http://ipaddress.com and note the differences in your IP address and your location.

Disable JavaScript

  • At the upper left side of the browser, click the blue 'S' with the red exclamation mark, which is located to the right of the Onion icon.
  • After clicking the 'S', click "Forbid Scripts Globally."
  • Check to see if JavaScript is enabled or disabled by visiting http://www.enable-javascript.com/ and look beneath the different browser icons for either a green checkmark for enabled or a red X for disabled.

Disable Cookies

  • Select "Tools" from the menu bar at the top of the browser.
  • In the drop-down box, select "Options."
  • Click on the "Privacy" icon.
  • At the "History" section, the default setting for "TorBrowser will:" will probably be set to "Never remember history." Change this. Click the select-dropdown and change to "Use custom settings for history."
  • Uncheck the box for "Accept cookies from sites."
  • Click "Ok" to save changes.

Why Tor is slow?

From the Tor website:

Tor can sometimes be a bit slower than your normal Internet connection. After all, your traffic is sent through many different countries, sometimes across oceans around the world!

Darknet or Deep Web
