How to Connect to Tor:
The Connect to Tor window appears when you launch the Tor Browser. This gives you the choice of setting up Tor Browser to work with your connection or making a direct connection to the Tor network. If you want to be automatically connected to the Tor network at all times, you can indicate your preference by checking this box.
CONNECT
Most of the time, selecting “Connect” will enable you to join the Tor network without requiring any additional setup.
After it is clicked, Tor’s connection progress will be displayed in a status bar. Try using ‘Connection Assist’ or refer to the Troubleshooting page if, despite having a relatively fast connection, this bar appears to become stuck at a certain place. Alternatively, you ought to select “Configure Connection” if you are aware that your connection is filtered or makes use of a proxy.
CONNECTION ASSIST
If Tor is prohibited where you are, you might want to try a bridge. Connection Assist uses your location to select one for you.
You can choose your region from the dropdown menu and choose ‘Try a Bridge’ if Connection Assist is unable to locate you or if you would prefer to manually arrange your connection.
CONFIGURE
You may learn about the status of both your Internet and Tor network connections using the Connection Assist. ‘Quickstart’ is the first checkbox. Selecting this will cause Tor Browser to attempt to connect using your previous network settings each time you launch it.
You may set up Tor Browser to use a pluggable transport if you are aware that your connection is censored or if you have attempted to connect to the Tor network but been unsuccessful in doing so. To set up a pluggable transport or establish a connection using Bridges, select “Bridges,” which will bring up the “Circumvention” section.
OTHER OPTIONS
Click ‘Settings…’ next to ‘Configure how Tor Browser connects to the Internet’ to adjust your connection if it employs a proxy. For the most part, this is not required. Since all of your browsers on your system will utilize the same settings, you should normally be able to tell if you need to click this checkbox. Seek advice from your network administrator if at all possible. Click “Connect” if your connection isn’t using a proxy.
However, it is recommended that you choose “Tor Network Settings” first if you reside in a nation with stringent censorship laws, like Egypt, China, or Turkey. You can modify your browser’s settings to get around internet limitations.
To launch the Tor browser after the configuration process is complete, click “Connect.” Once you launch the Tor browser, all traffic is encrypted, allowing you to surf various websites without risk.
