|
|
==============================
|
|
Here you will configure Firefox to securely resolve the .local and .onion URLs of your server and installed services.
|
|
|
|
Local (required for initial setup)
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
#. Open Firefox and enter ``about:config`` in the URL bar. Accept any warnings that appear
|
|
|
|
#. Search for ``security.enterprise_roots.enable``, set it to ``true``.

|
|
|
|
Tor (can be completed later)
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
#. Ensure you have already :ref:`set up Tor<tor-mac>`
|
|
|
|
#. Open Firefox and enter ``about:config`` in the URL bar. Accept any warnings that appear
|
|
|
|
#. Search for ``dom.securecontext.allowlist_onions`` and set the value to ``true``:

|
#. Download a ``Proxy Auto Config`` file to inform Firefox how to use the Tor daemon running on your computer. Click `here <https://start9.com/assets/proxy.pac>`_ to get the one offered by Start9 and save it somewhere you will not delete it. Remember where you save the file. For this example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
C:\Program Files\Tor Browser\proxy.pac
|
|
|
|
#. Go to the right-hand hamburger menu and select ``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
|
|
|
|
#. Check the box labeled ``Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5``:

|
|
|
|
#. Click ``OK`` and restart Firefox
|
|
|
|
#. Test that Firefox can resolve `.onion` URLs by visiting Start9's Tor website: http://privacy34kn4ez3y3nijweec6w4g54i3g54sdv7r5mr6soma3w4begyd.onion. If this does not work, go through this guide again, ensuring you followed every step, including the first which refers to another guide
|
|
|
|
#. You can now use the `.onion` URLs of your server and installed services
