Прокси для Tor
Tor представляет собой эффективный инструмент, позволяющий обеспечить конфиденциальность и безопасность в Интернете. Достигается это за счёт прохождения данных через несколько компьютеров, в результате чего они шифруются, а IP-адрес меняется. В итоге пользователи могут наслаждаться защищённым каналом передачи данных. Несмотря на высокую эффективность браузера Tor, в ряде случаев пользователям требуется более продвинутый уровень анонимности, а также возможность обойти определённые блокировки.

Why Use a Proxy for Tor?
Despite the extensive capabilities of the browser, connecting to a proxy server before directly connecting to Tor can significantly enhance user protection. This solution makes it possible to achieve the following goals:
- Hide information regarding the use of the Tor browser. There are cases when the use of Tor is prohibited by the provider, certain organizations, or authorities. Connecting directly makes the connection visible. However, connecting through a proxy masks traffic by rerouting it through an intermediate server. As a result, it appears as if the user is working with a regular browser.
- Increase the level of anonymity. Using Tor itself provides protection by encrypting traffic in multiple layers. A proxy introduces an additional intermediate layer between the user and the network. Even if someone attempts targeted tracking of your traffic, they will only see a connection to the proxy server, not to Tor. A high level of anonymity is especially important for users from countries with strict censorship, human rights activists, journalists, and many others. Thanks to a proxy, even in the event of attacks or data leaks, anonymity is preserved.
- Bypass blocks/firewalls. Using a proxy allows you to use Tor regardless of your location. This makes it possible to connect even where Tor is prohibited by router settings or blocked by DPI filtering.
- Spoof geodata. Although Tor alters your geolocation during use,
Features of Application
To take advantage of all the benefits of a proxy for Tor, you need to know how to configure a proxy in the Tor browser. We offer a simple step-by-step guide:
- Open Tor.
- Click on the "Menu" icon in the upper right corner, then select the "Settings" section.
- Choose the "Connections" tab, then scroll down to the "Configure proxy access to the Internet" block. In this block, select "Configure".
- Enter the details of your proxy server. You will need to select the type (SOCKS5/HTTP), specify the IP and port, and if necessary, enter login and password for authentication. All the required information can be obtained from your provider.
- Save your settings, then restart Tor. To verify that the proxy is working, open Tor and visit any IP check website. The server address should be displayed, not your real one. For the proxy to work effectively and perform all its functions, choose a reliable provider.
