Unfortunately, Windows does not have mDNS support built-in, which is necessary in order to visit .local addresses, so we recommend using the Bonjour service. Check out this :ref:`FAQ answer<why-bonjour>` for details.
#. Install `Bonjour Print Services <https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999>`_ on your Windows machine.
.. tip:: If you are experiencing issues after installing Bonjour, you might have had a previous or failed install. To fix:
#. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ECCB3bqNDQ
#. Uninstall Bonjour completely via ``system settings -> remove programs``
#. Reinstall Bonjour Printer Driver package (download at https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999?locale=en_US)
#. Restart Windows
#. Note: Uninstalling Bonjour via the setup package seems to be not enough to solve the issue. Bonjour must be uninstalled via windows system settings.
#. Visit your Embassy at its Tor Address.
.. note:: Using this encrypted Tor connection is required for security reasons.
#. Navigate to the :ref:`Embassy tab<embassy-tab>` -> Settings -> LAN
