### Tor Browser

WIP
To install Tor Browser for your operating system, go to Tor's download page and download it for your OS:

[https://www.torproject.org/download/](https://www.torproject.org/download/)

For Windows, macOS, and Android, it would be a `.exe`, `.dmg`, and `.apk` file, which can be installed easily. However, for Linux, it is a compressed `.tar.xz` file, which you need to extract and run the executable file inside.

After opening the Tor Browser, you will see a browser like this:

Here, you can click on the "Configure a Connection" button and add your bridges. Bridges can be added from the built-in bridges:

Or from custom bridges retrieved from BridgeDB:

When you have added your bridges, you can return to the start page and click on "Connect." After a successful connection, you can either use it as a censorship-free browser or use a SOCKS proxy outside the browser at `127.0.0.1:9150`. Note that this SOCKS proxy is only available as long as your Tor Browser is open, running, and connected.
