# Using Tor with BIFM
|
|
|
|
Using Tor with BIFM allows for your instance to be more anonymous to the sites it vists. Here's a quick start guide to enabling Tor on BIFM.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Certain sites flat out block Tor exit
|
|
|
|
1. Install Tor on your system.
|
|
|
|
This is pretty simple to do on Linux, simply ask your package manager to install Tor.
|
|
|
|
## Ubuntu/Debian
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pacman -S tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Enable it to run on bootup of your system.
|
|
|
|
## systemctl
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo systemctl start tor && sudo systemctl enable tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Verify the Tor proxy is on.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl --socks5 localhost:9050 --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -s https://check.torproject.org/ | cat | grep -m 1 Congratulations | xargs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the command in your terminal outputs "Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor.", you are set to change the setting in the config, allowing Tor to run on Tor-compatible bypasses.
|
|
|
|
4. Changing the lib.config.
|
|
|
|
Open `config.json` in your editor, if you haven't already.
|
|
|
|
The default file looks like [this](./CONFIG.md), you should change the `defaults` object to be something like this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
"defaults": {
|
|
"got": {
|
|
"headers": {
|
|
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0",
|
|
"Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8"
|
|
},
|
|
"proxy": {
|
|
"type": "socks5",
|
|
"host": "127.0.0.1", // don't modify this object if you want tor.
|
|
"port": "9050"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"puppeteer": {
|
|
"headless": true,
|
|
"args": ["--proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050", "--user-agent='Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0'"]
|
|
// don't modify this line if you want tor.
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
``` |
