.. note:: If these commands fail, your version of macOS may still use the older launchctl syntax:

Done! You have now enabled system-wide Tor potential.
We advise going back to step 4 and repeating this for Wifi/Ethernet depending on which interface you haven't done yet.
If you ever need to view the status of the tor service, enter the following into a Terminal:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo launchctl enable system/org.apache.httpd
sudo launchctl kickstart system/org.apache.httpd

Done! You have now enabled system-wide Tor potential.
We suggest heading back to step 5 and enabling Tor system-wide on Ethernet/WiFi now - whichever you did not do already.
If you ever need to view the status of the tor service, enter the following into a Terminal:
.. code-block:: bash
cat /usr/local/var/log/tor.log || sudo cat /opt/homebrew/var/log/tor.log
cat /usr/local/var/log/tor.log || sudo cat /opt/homebrew/var/log/tor.log
