Tor Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer, Quicktime, and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP address. Similarly, we do not recommend installing additional addons or plugins into Tor Browser, as these may bypass Tor or otherwise harm your anonymity and privacy.
Tor will encrypt your traffic to and within the Tor network , but the encryption of your traffic to the final destination website depends upon on that website. Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that are handled by external applications.
You should be very careful when downloading documents via Tor especially DOC and PDF files, unless you use the PDF viewer that's built into Tor Browser as these documents can contain Internet resources that will be downloaded outside of Tor by the application that opens them. This will reveal your non-Tor IP address. Under no circumstances is it safe to use BitTorrent and Tor together, however. Tor tries to prevent attackers from learning what destination websites you connect to. However, by default, it does not prevent somebody watching your Internet traffic from learning that you're using Tor.
If this matters to you, you can reduce this risk by configuring Tor to use a Tor bridge relay rather than connecting directly to the public Tor network. Ultimately the best protection is a social approach: the more Tor users there are near you and the more diverse their interests, the less dangerous it will be that you are one of them.
Convince other people to use Tor, too! Be smart and learn more. Understand what Tor does and does not offer. The chroot and overlayfs union is created upon Unsafe Browser start, and is torn down after it exits, forcefully killing any remaining processes run from inside it.
It should be noted that chroots are pretty weak jails, so an exploit could easily escape it and have access to the complete filesystem as restricted for the clearnet user.
Hence, the reason for using a chroot is not for that purpose, but for separating its insecure configuration from the rest of the Tails system. For instance, within the chroot the DNS server obtained through DNS is configured as the system resolver, which would be dangerous if used in the outside system.
Not Using Linux? Download for Mac or Windows. Looking For Something Else? View All Downloads. Tor does not protect all of your computer's Internet traffic when you run it. Tor only protects your applications that are properly configured to send their Internet traffic through Tor.
To avoid problems with Tor configuration, we strongly recommend you use the Tor Browser. It is pre-configured to protect your privacy and anonymity on the web as long as you're browsing with Tor Browser itself. Almost any other web browser configuration is likely to be unsafe to use with Tor. Torrent file-sharing applications have been observed to ignore proxy settings and make direct connections even when they are told to use Tor.
Even if your torrent application connects only through Tor, you will often send out your real IP address in the tracker GET request, because that's how torrents work. Not only do you deanonymize your torrent traffic and your other simultaneous Tor web traffic this way, you also slow down the entire Tor network for everyone else.
Tor Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer, Quicktime, and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP address. Please do not torrent over Tor. We do not recommend installing additional add-ons or plugins into Tor Browser. Plugins or addons may bypass Tor or compromise your privacy.
