Check out the video below, and follow along with the steps in this guide to setup a Network Folder on your Windows machine (or attached drive), such that you may create encrypted, private backups of all your StartOS data.

Setup Network Folder
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
#. Create a folder, or select an existing one. Right-click the folder and select "Properties"
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-win0.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|

#. Click the "Sharing" tab...

||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-win1.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|
||||
then click "Share"
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-win2.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|
||||
#. Select a user you want to use for login and click "Share"
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-win3.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
If you get the following dialogue box, you have designated your network "Public." You may wish to change to "Private" if this is your home network. Otherwise you may turn on network sharing for public networks.
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-win4.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|
||||
#. Note the share's name, "SharedFolder" displayed in black text in the example screenshot below, above the long hostname and Windows directory path in grey text, both highlighted in blue. We will take the share's name and enter it in the final step below.

||||

||||
|
||||
Connect StartOS
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
#. Return to your StartOS UI, and go to *System > Create Backup*
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|
||||
#. Click "Open" to set up a new connection to your Shared Folder
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup0.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|
||||
#. Fill out the following fields as shown below:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/config/backup1.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
|
||||
- For "Hostname" - Enter your Windows computer name (this is shown after a ``\\`` in Windows)
|
||||
- For "Path" - Enter the full path followed by the share name displayed in the Windows sharing dialog shown in Step 4 above. In our example this would be, literally, ``/Users/win/Desktop/SharedFolder``. When entering the path, make sure replace the backshashes ``\`` shown by Windows with forward slashes ``/``.
|
||||
- Enter your Windows username and password in the "User" and "Password" fields
|
||||
|
||||
.. caution::
|
||||
If you use a "PIN" to log in to Windows, keep in mind that your password needs to be the user's full password, NOT the PIN! Office365 accounts also may **not** work, try a regular user in this case.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
If you receive the following error:
|
||||
|
||||
**Filesystem I/O Error mount error(115): Operation now in progress**
|
||||
|
||||
Click Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet (or WiFi) and select the "Private" profile to treat your LAN as a trusted network that allows file sharing.
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! You can now :ref:`Create<backup-create>` encrypted, private backups of all your server data to your Windows machine or external drive!!

Configuring Firefox on Windows
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
.. caution:: This guide assumes you have completed :ref:`setting up Tor<tor-windows>`. Please visit this section first before you proceed as it is required for Firefox to properly work with Tor.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Open Firefox and enter ``about:config`` in the URL bar. Accept any warnings that may appear about accessing advanced settings.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Search for ``dom.securecontext.allowlist_onions`` and set the value to "true":
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/firefox_allowlist.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
:alt: Firefox whitelist onions screenshot
|
||||
|
||||
#. Next, search for ``network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS`` and set the value to ``true``:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/firefox_insecure_websockets.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
:alt: Firefox allow insecure websockets over https
|
||||
|
||||
#. Download a *Proxy Auto Config* file to inform Firefox how to use the Tor daemon running on your computer. You can get Start9's standard file by following instructions below:
|
||||
|
||||
- Click `here <https://start9.com/assets/proxy.pac>`_ to get the file and save the file somewhere you will not delete it. Remember where you save the file. For this example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
C:\Program Files\Tor Browser\proxy.pac
|
||||
|
||||
#. Now, back in your Firefox web browser, select "Settings" from the right-hand hamburger menu:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/firefox_options_windows.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
:alt: Firefox options screenshot
|
||||
|
||||
#. Search for the term "proxy" in the search bar in the upper right, then select the button that says "Settings":
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/firefox_search.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
:alt: Firefox search screenshot
|
||||
|
||||
#. This should open a menu that will allow you to configure your proxy settings. Select "Automatic proxy configuration URL" and paste in the path to your PAC file from earlier, prefixed with ``file://``. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
file://C:/Program Files/Tor Browser/proxy.pac
|
||||
|
||||
#. Then, check the box labeled "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5":
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/firefox_proxy_windows.png
|
||||
:width: 60%
|
||||
:alt: Firefox proxy settings screenshot
|
||||
|
||||
#. Click "OK" and then restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
#. You're all set! You should now be able to navigate to ".onion" URLs in Firefox. You can test this by going to Start9's ``.onion`` homepage, `here <http://privacy34kn4ez3y3nijweec6w4g54i3g54sdv7r5mr6soma3w4begyd.onion/>`__.

Running Tor on Windows

|

#. Unfortunately, `The Tor Project <https://torproject.org>`_ no longer publishes a standalone Tor binary for Windows, so the recommended way to get it is with the Tor Browser Bundle. You can download it `here <https://www.torproject.org/download/>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/tor_download_windows.png
|
||||
:width: 80%
|
||||
:alt: Tor download
|
||||
|
||||
Download Tor for Windows
|
||||
|
||||
#. Once it is downloaded, run the installer by right clicking on it and selecting `Run as Administrator`.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Once you have selected a language, you should see a menu like this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/tor_windows_install.png
|
||||
:width: 80%
|
||||
:alt: Tor install wizard
|
||||
|
||||
We will install it to ``C:\Program Files\Tor Browser``. If you choose a different folder, it needs to *not* be anywhere under ``C:\Users\``. Note the path you use here for the step after next.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Now you want to set up Tor to run as a service: to run in the background and keep itself running so you don't have to worry about it again. To do so, you need to open your Command Prompt as an administrator.
|
||||
|
||||
* In Windows 10, you can simply type ``cmd`` in the Windows search bar, right click on the first result, and select `Run as Administrator`.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Once it opens, you can run the following commands, inserting your destination folder (from above) between `binPath="` and the `Browser` subfolder, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
sc create tor start= auto binPath="C:\Program Files\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\tor.exe -nt-service"
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip:: If you get the error "Access denied," please ensure you are running the command prompt in Administrator mode. You can tell because the prompt will show C:\\Users\\YOUR-USERNAME> if you are NOT in admin mode, and it will show C:\\WINDOWS\\system32 if you ARE in admin mode.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
sc start tor
|
||||
|
||||
#. When you run this, it should look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: /_static/images/tor/tor_windows_terminal.png
|
||||
:width: 80%
|
||||
:alt: Tor windows terminal
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If you get the error "The specified service already exists," complete the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run the command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block::
|
||||
|
||||
sc delete tor
|
||||
2. Uninstall the Tor Browser, following `these steps <https://tb-manual.torproject.org/uninstalling/>`_.
|
||||
3. Begin this guide again from the beginning.
|
||||
|
||||
#. That's it! Your Windows computer is now setup to natively use Tor.
