Linux Install tor and privoxy To Communicate Anonymously On the Internet

To install tor and privoxy on a Linux system and use them to communicate anonymously on the Internet, you can follow these steps:

1. First, make sure that the apt-get or apt package manager is installed on your system. If it is not installed, you can install it by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install apt

2. Next, add the tor repository to your system's package sources. You can do this by running the following command:

echo "deb https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

3. Import the tor repository signing key by running the following command:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

4. Update the package list by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

5. Install tor and privoxy by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install tor privoxy

This will install the tor and privoxy packages and the necessary dependencies.

6. Once the installation is complete, you can start the tor and privoxy services by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl start tor
sudo systemctl start privoxy

7. Configure your web browser to use a proxy server by going to the proxy settings in your browser's preferences or settings. Set the proxy type to "SOCKS5" and the proxy server to "localhost" with port "9050". This will route your web traffic through the tor network, providing anonymous communication.
