.. note:: Tor connection can sometimes be unreliable and have higher latency than normal internet connections.
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>`_
Using Firefox

.. 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.
* Linux, Mac, Windows, Android
* `Tor Browser <https://torproject.org/download/>`_
* iOS
* iOS lacks a well-functioning Tor Browser. Use `Firefox <tor-firefox/torff-ios>`_
