Go Online without Getting Snooped: Tor (The Onion Router)

Step 2Install Tor

Install Tor
Tor is pretty easy to install. You can leave most of the defaults as-is. First, go to the download page to get the latest version of Vidalia (which bundles Tor and a few other good privacy apps.) Get the right one for your operating system. Then follow the instructions to install it. The "Install and Configure" guides next to every package on that page are really helpful.

A screenshot of the installed Vidalia app on OS X is below. The window shows that Tor is up and running, ready protect me!

Next, we have to set up the internet program I use the most: my web browser.

two questions.  1) do you have to install this, even if you do the firefox thing?  2) do you have to have administrator access to install this?
