Set up the proxy server by making some changes to the Tor configuration file. If the Terminal returns an active message, you're ready to move on to the next step. To check if the actual tor default service is running, use the following Terminal command: sudo systemctl status if the actual tor default service is running You now have 2 new services running on your Raspberry Pi: tor.service and tor is only symbolic. You can install the Tor software on a Raspberry Pi with a single command. You can install Tor with a single Terminal command: sudo apt install tor If you have installed one or more updates, restart your Raspberry Pi by running the following command: sudo reboot Install Tor on the Raspberry Pi Open Terminal and type the following command: sudo apt update & sudo apt -y upgrade When the Raspberry Pi starts, click the small network icon on the toolbar and connect to a WiFi network, if you don't use an Ethernet cable.īefore you begin, you should check that you are running the latest version of the Raspberry Pi OS.

To get started, connect all peripherals to the Raspberry Pi.

Ethernet cable (if not connected via WiFi).

HDMI or micro HDMI cables, depending on the Raspberry Pi model.

External keyboard and how to attach it to a Raspberry Pi.

The power cable is compatible with the Raspberry Pi.

To complete this tutorial, you will need: If you want to use the Tor network on all your devices or surf the web anonymously with your current web browser, it's often easier to set up the Tor proxy server, which is what you'll learn in the next section this lead. Many people access Tor through the free Tor browser, but this requires setting up the browser on any device you have Internet access. This way, you can hide your location and activity from anyone who is watching the network, including hiding the websites you visit, messages you send and any posts you make. Each data packet you send via Tor is encrypted and decoded multiple times, then redirected through a number of relays, randomly selected from the thousands of relays that make up the Tor network. When you set up the Tor proxy server, all traffic will be redirected through the Tor network. Proxy servers act as intermediaries for clients who are requesting resources from the server, such as files or web pages.
