After all of those menus are closed, you will be greeted with a nice webpage that says you are configured to use Tor and that you are ready to go! Feel free to click the “Test Tor Network Settings” button for a double check. Now that all the menus have been taken care of, your life will be much simpler, since it is the last time you will have to deal with it. All you have to do to get Tor started is run the “Start Tor Browser.exe”. Now that you have Tor ready to go, you will see four folders and one file called “Start Tor Browser.exe”. To make things easier for you just follow our easy tor installation tutorial. I personally extract all the files to a folder on my Desktop so I can get to it at any time. Go ahead, and extract the files to a place where you are going to have easy access to it. It’s going to download an exe file for you to open and extract. The first thing you are going to need is obviously the latest version of Tor from the Tor website. Keep in mind, I will be explaining this from complete start to end as if you are just learning about what Tor is. Today, I will be focusing the main part of today’s tutorial on connecting to IRC networks via Tor (if u want to use tor as a socks proxy for everything then follow our here). These connections from one person to another are very strongly encrypted, not only allowing people to securely go to websites without leaving a trace of who they are, but they allow people to encrypt everyday internet connections. Tor is a network that uses peer-to-peer connections.
