SSH over Tor from Windows



Install PuTTY


Download the latest Windows installer from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html.

Run the installer.

  1. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
  2. On the Destination Folder screen, click Next.
  3. On the Product Features screen, click Install.
  4. If the User Account Control screen appears, click Yes.
  5. Click Finish.

Optionally Get Bridges


If you are in a country that censors Tor, you may need to connect to the Tor network via a bridge.

  • You can get bridge lines on the web from https://bridges.torproject.org/options.
  • Alternatively you can write from a Gmail account to bridges@torproject.org putting get transport obfs4 in the email's message body.
  • If you need an unlisted bridge, create your own private obfs4 bridge.

Install Tor Browser


Download Tor Browser for Windows from https://www.torproject.org/download.

Run the installer. It has a name that looks like torbrowser-install-win64-9.5.3_en-US.exe.

  1. On the Language screen, select English or any other language, and click OK.
  2. On the Install Location screen, click Install.
  3. Leave the box checked for Run Tor Browser, and click Finish.

Run Tor Browser


Tor Browser starts by offering Connect and Configure Options.

If you are in a country that censors Tor, choose Configure, check the box to say that Tor is censored in your country, and make your selection of bridges.

Click Connect.

Tor Browser includes a Tor client that listens on port 9150 whenever the browser is open. Therefore leave the browser running. You can minimize the Tor Browser window to keep it out of the way.
