- Download Tor Browser from the Tor Project. Choose your operating system and follow its installer. Avoid unofficial downloads and extra browser extensions.
- Open Tor Browser and choose Connect. If the connection is blocked, open connection settings and request a bridge.
- Open the Tor connection check in Tor Browser, then visit a non-sensitive site to confirm it loads.
- Review the browser’s Security Level if your task needs stricter restrictions. Test whether the site still works.
Check the result
The official check should confirm a Tor connection. Keep the task inside Tor Browser; other applications are not automatically routed through it.
Limits
Logging into a personal account identifies you to that service. Tor Browser is not officially available for iOS. Downloaded files opened in another application may use a different connection.
