Installing Tor on Ubuntu 19.04 and Windows 10
Yesterday I wrote a post about installing Tor on macOS. I got a lot of feedback about other OS’s. I figured I would do a post on installing Tor for Ubuntu Linux 19.04 and Windows 10.
Ubuntu 19.04
Let’s make sure what version we are running.
- Click on
Activities
- Search for
Settings
- Then choose
Settings
icon (Gear, see above)
Validate you are running this version
You can see the Ubuntu is 19.04
Next, lets launch the Terminal
utility.
You can do this in the same way you searched for Settings
only this time, search Terminal
Now for the CLI commands
You will need to use sudo
to run the apt-get
utility with elevated privileges.
You will need to run sudo apt-get install tor
Now you will need to download the tor-browser
from a specific repository.
You will need to hit the Enter
key at this point to accept the install.
Next you will need to run an update of the software.
Finally, we need to run sudo apt install torbrowser-launcher
Once again, we will need to Choose Activities
and search for Tor
Once you launch Tor
, you will see the Download taking place. Depending on your Internet speed, this should take a couple of minutes.
Now you can hit the Connect
Here we can see that my exit node is on France.
Windows 10
Now we will install Tor on Windows 10
Launch you favorite browser (for now at least) and point to www.torproject.org
and click on the Download Tor Browser
button on the right.
You can now choose the Windows
icon.
Choose the file you need and save it.
Double-click on the file
Choose you language and then OK
Choose the path you want to install it on.
If you want, you can launch Tor and you can shortcuts as necessary.
Launch Tor
You will now have the same screen as the macOS version and the Ubuntu 19.04. Choose Connect
Now the WinDoze version of Tor is exiting from Germany.
Some sites, mine included block Tor sites.
Forbidden
This is what you will see. This is usually when I realize that I am using Tor.
