Using a Tor Browser
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The fastest, easiest way to connect to your Embassy over Tor is to download a Tor-enabled browser and visit your Embassy's .onion URL. We recommend:
|
||||
|
||||
* Linux, Mac, Windows, Android
|
||||
|
||||
* `Tor Browser <https://torproject.org/download/>`_
|
||||
* `Brave <https://brave.com>`_ (requires using Tor tabs)
|
||||
|
||||
* iOS
|
||||
|

* `Onion Browser <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onion-browser/id519296448>`_

|

|
||||
.. tip:: This is recommended way to connect to your Embassy over Tor, but it requires some additional steps.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Run Tor on your connecting device.
|
||||
#. Run Tor (**not Tor Browser**) in the background on your connecting device.

Using TorBrowser
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. caution:: Tor Browser will allow you to use your Embassy's .onion URL without any manual configuration, however *all* connections are proxied via Tor, so you will not be able to access your Embassy's .local LAN address with it. `Using Firefox <#using-firefox>`_ is recommended over TorBrowser.
