1
00:00:00,850 --> 00:00:07,720
Now that we know how to install the Tor Browser and how to access the Tor network even if Tor is blocked

2
00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:15,010
let's have a quick overview on how to use this browser and how to configure its settings for maximum

3
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:18,070
security and anonymity.

4
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:25,520
Now the first thing to keep in mind is never used Tor in fullscreen always keep it on maximized.

5
00:00:25,540 --> 00:00:32,890
As you can see here and just increase the screen size manually from the edges of the window because

6
00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:40,810
the size of the screen can be used to identify what kind of laptop or what kind of a screen you're using.

7
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:47,320
Also it's a very good idea to always check for updates so to do that all you have to do is just go to

8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:55,900
the on your right here and click on check for browser updates so as you can see a check the Tor Project

9
00:00:55,900 --> 00:01:02,950
dot org and everything is working for me it's telling me that Tor is working and that my IP appears

10
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:04,330
to be this IP.

11
00:01:04,870 --> 00:01:06,440
So this is all good.

12
00:01:06,910 --> 00:01:11,210
If we go here to the icon you will see the tower circuit.

13
00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:16,320
So these are the nodes that I've been showing you before in here.

14
00:01:16,450 --> 00:01:19,280
So this would be my first second third.

15
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,300
And if we go back to here you can see that my first or guard node is Germany.

16
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:32,530
Then I'm going to the United Kingdom then to Canada and then go into the tower project Web site.

17
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:40,770
So these are my three nodes that I used to always show you in here.

18
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,490
So that's really cool.

19
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:49,400
You can also click on new circuits for this site and what this will do is it will randomly select three

20
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,190
different nodes different than what we have in here.

21
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:58,490
This will basically change your IP and it'll make you look like you're coming from a completely different

22
00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:59,480
IP.

23
00:01:59,510 --> 00:02:06,170
So if I click on it now you'll see this page will refresh and you'll see my IP in here changed and you

24
00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:13,640
can see that now I'm going Germany Germany Moldova and then I'm go into the target Web site which is

25
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:16,080
our project dot org.

26
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,790
So that's very cool.

27
00:02:18,350 --> 00:02:20,810
Well I also want to show you is the settings.

28
00:02:20,870 --> 00:02:28,760
So if we click on The Onion icon in here you can see again we can request a new identity from here.

29
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:36,320
When you click on new identity the whole browser will close your cache your history and all your browsing

30
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,220
data will be removed.

31
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:42,730
Then the browser will restart with a completely new circuit.

32
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:48,830
So this option will make you lose all the tabs that you have open but you will look like a completely

33
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:55,580
different person whereas when you request a new circuit from here this circuit will only affect the

34
00:02:55,580 --> 00:02:56,510
current web site.

35
00:02:56,510 --> 00:03:02,240
The Web site that we have loaded here and it won't delete your history or browsing data.

36
00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:05,660
So the only thing that will change is your IP.

37
00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:12,330
You will seem like you're coming from a different country or from a different IP whereas the new identity.

38
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,960
It'll change all of that plus it will close all tabs and it will remove all browsing data.

39
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:23,680
So you literally look like a completely new person.

40
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,610
Next I'm going to click on the tour network settings.

41
00:03:28,610 --> 00:03:33,890
We've actually used this before when we wanted to use plug a transports and bridges.

42
00:03:33,890 --> 00:03:40,050
We ticked this option right here and we provided bridges in this box.

43
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:41,400
Now I'm not using bridges.

44
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,550
Some can uncheck this.

45
00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:50,090
The second option if you're using a proxy to access the internet so you can check this and put the proxy

46
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:51,480
information.

47
00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:59,060
And finally if you think your service provider or your network manager is using a firewall that only

48
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,320
allows specific ports then you can check this option and only use port 80 and four for three.

49
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,700
These are ports that are commonly used by Web sites on the Internet.

50
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:13,220
It's used by pretty much all Web sites.

51
00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:18,740
Therefore if you only use these ports you'll manage to bypass some firewalls.

52
00:04:18,740 --> 00:04:21,840
But again this will still slow your connection.

53
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,900
So I'm going to keep this unchecked because as you can see I'm able to access the terror network with

54
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,040
my default settings.

55
00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:31,360
So I don't really need to change much.

56
00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:37,790
Finally I want to show you some of the options that I recommend modifying just to make sure that we

57
00:04:37,790 --> 00:04:44,360
have configured our browser to be as secure and as anonymous as possible.

58
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:50,900
So I'm going to click on the more options in here and I'm going to go down now and here you can request

59
00:04:50,930 --> 00:04:54,500
a new identity or request a new circuit.

60
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:58,390
I've already showed you how to do this and explain this at the start of the video.

61
00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:06,340
So we're not going to do it now but what we want to do is to go to the options here so you'll see an

62
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:11,070
options window very similar to the one you get with a normal Firefox browser.

63
00:05:11,230 --> 00:05:17,260
And what I want to do is just modify some settings that I think will just make the browser a little

64
00:05:17,260 --> 00:05:19,070
bit more secure.

65
00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:22,830
So I want to go to privacy and security.

66
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:30,190
And first of all in the history I'm going to modify this and make sure that it never remembers history

67
00:05:31,410 --> 00:05:31,860
next.

68
00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:36,930
I'm going to scroll down and we're going to go to the tracking protection.

69
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:42,920
And I'm going to set this to always then I'm going to scroll down.

70
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,010
I'm going to make sure that it's going to block pop up windows.

71
00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:51,740
I'm going to make sure that it warns you when the browser tries to install add ons.

72
00:05:51,740 --> 00:05:59,060
And I also recommend checking this box to prevent accessibility services from access in the browser.

73
00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:02,530
But check in this box will require you to restart the browser.

74
00:06:02,570 --> 00:06:08,890
So I'll do this at the end so I'm going to scroll down more.

75
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,460
Now we have the security settings here.

76
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,580
I will cover them in the next lecture.

77
00:06:13,580 --> 00:06:21,230
So right now I'm going to keep scrolling down and I'm going to check blog dangerous and deceptive content.

78
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:27,270
And we're also going to make sure that these two boxes are checked to make sure that you get a warrant

79
00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:32,140
when our Web site tries to force you to download a file.

80
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:37,510
So now that I'm happy with everything I'm also going to check this box to prevent the accessibility

81
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:38,430
services.

82
00:06:38,620 --> 00:06:43,590
Like I said I think this will make your browser as secure as possible.

83
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:50,220
Some of the settings that were set in here will break some Web sites but we're going for maximum security.

84
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:58,100
And you can also come in and experiment with these reduce it bit by bit to tailor and to suit your use.

85
00:06:58,990 --> 00:07:03,730
So I'm going to check this that's going to ask me if I want to restart the browser we're going to say

86
00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:07,310
yes that's fine.

87
00:07:07,590 --> 00:07:11,550
And as you can see the browser is working now again with no problems.

88
00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:12,860
Just to double check.

89
00:07:12,870 --> 00:07:22,910
We can go to check dot Tor Project dot org and perfect as you can see the browser is working.

90
00:07:22,990 --> 00:07:29,860
If we click here we can see our circuit were coming out of France and this is the IP that we appear

91
00:07:30,010 --> 00:07:30,870
that we're using.
