With the Initial Setup complete, your Embassy is now privately hosted on the Internet and can be accessed right from a web browser. Your Embassy’s addresses (its Tor and LAN URLs) are completely private; no one else even knows they exist.
If you accidentally leak your Embassy’s addresses, do not worry. You Embassy is also protected by your password; so only you can log in.
Connecting to your Embassy over Tor requires using a browser that supports .onion URLs.
Currently, Tor is the default and our recommended approach for most users. It just works. The one drawback, however, is latency; onion-routed communications over Tor can be slow. For a lightning fast experience, you can connect to your Embassy over LAN (below), but this requires additional setup.
Below are a list of our recommended browsers for Tor:
Start9 Consulate (iOS)
Firefox (Mac, Windows, Linux)
Firefox Beta (Android)
Tor Browser (Mac, Windows, Linux, Android)
Brave (Mac, Windows, Linux)
