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
