What is Tor?

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.

You can configure Tor to run either as a SOCKS proxy or, together with the privoxy Package, as http/s proxy. Both methods are described below.

  • tor.lrp
  • libssl.lrp
  • libcrpto.lrp
  • lpthread.lrp
  • libz.lrp
