Download Tor Browser Bundle (version 2.3.25-6)

What is the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB)?
The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.

See our instructions on how to verify package signatures, which allows you to make sure you've downloaded the file we intended you to get. Also, note that the Firefox ESR in our bundles is modified from the default Firefox ESR

Mac OS X instructions

Download the file above, save it somewhere, then click on it. Mac OS X will automatically unarchive it and you will have a TorBrowser application in your chosen language (for example, TorBrowser_en-US.app). Click the TorBrowser application to launch Vidalia. Once Vidalia connects to the Tor Network, it will launch TorBrowser.

Linux instructions

Download the architecture-appropriate file above, save it somewhere, then run one of the following two commands to extract the package archive:

tar -xvzf tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.3.25-6-dev-LANG.tar.gz

or

tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.3.25-6-dev-LANG.tar.gz

(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).

Once that's done, switch to the Tor browser directory by running:

cd tor-browser_LANG

(where LANG is the language listed in the filename).

To run the Tor Browser Bundle, execute the start-tor-browser script:

./start-tor-browser

This will launch Vidalia and once that connects to Tor, it will launch Firefox. Do not unpack or run TBB as root.

Windows instructions

Extraction

Download the file above, and save it somewhere, then double click on it. Click on the button labeled "..." (1) and select where you want to save the bundle then click OK (2). At least 80 MB free space must be available in the location you select. If you want to leave the bundle on the computer, saving it to the Desktop is a good choice. If you want to move it to a different computer or limit the traces you leave behind, save it to a USB disk.

Click Extract (3) to begin extraction. This may take a few minutes to complete.

Usage

Once extraction is complete, open the folder Tor Browser from the location you saved the bundle.

Double click on the Start Tor Browser (4) application (it may be called Start Tor Browser.exe on some systems.)

The Vidalia window will shortly appear.

Once Tor is ready, Tor Browser will automatically be opened. Only web pages visited through Tor Browser will be sent via Tor. Other web browsers such as Internet Explorer are not affected.

Once you are finished browsing, close any open Tor Browser windows by clicking on the  (6). For privacy reasons, the list of web pages you visited and any cookies will be deleted.

With the Tor Browser Bundle, Vidalia and Tor will automatically close.
