HOW TO CONNECT TO TOR OVER

TOP OF TOR

Here is another fun tip that may or may not interest you, but I figured I would throw it in

for you anyways.

I figured this out while trying to figure out an effective way to do a TOR -> VPN

connection. You can do TOR -> TOR connection with Tails by using a program

called Tortilla , thus adding another layer for your adversaries to crack. Whether or not

this is worth it, is completely up to you, but I am sharing in case it is something you want

to do. This however currently only works for those using Windows because it was

designed to be used by Windows users. Please note as well that this will noticeably slow

down your connection since you are going through TOR twice. Here is the official

homepage of Tortilla.

And the official download page for the prebuilt standalone exe below. There is a link to it

on the home page if you do not trust me.

The way you do this is very simple actually. You need to first download TOR Expert

Bundle from the TOR Project download page and install it on your computer or better yet

your USB drive.

Next open the tor.exe and just let it run until it says Bootstrapped 100% Done . Next

you want to run the tortilla.exe file and make sure you run it with Administrator

privileges. Also, if you are running Windows Vista or later, you will likely get an error

that this program does not have a valid certificate, because it is actually signed with

something called a test-signed certificate. In this case you need to allow test-signed drivers

to run on your computer.

To do this, simply go to your Start Menu and type in the search box “command”. When

command comes up, you right click it, and click run as Administrator and it will open up a

command prompt. Next type in the following command. Bcdedit.exe -set

TESTSIGNING ON and this will allow Windows to install test-signed drivers. Restart

your computer and you will see in the bottom right hand corner after you restart Test

Mode Windows . Now you can run Tortilla. And let it connect to TOR. Remember to

have tor.exe from TOR Expert Bundle open first.

Finally, you open up Virtual Box or whatever Virtual Machine software you are using and

click Settings on the Tails virtual machine. Click on the Network tab and change the

drop down menu where it says Attached to : to Bridged Adapter and in the drop down

menu below it called Name: Select Tortilla Adapter. Now your Virtual Machine, in this

case Tails, will always connect to the internet through Tortilla , which connects through
