Proxies and TOR

How to stay anonymous during an online demonstration?

When you take part in a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack organized by ANONYMOUS, by using the software Low Orbit Ion Canon (LOIC), your real IP address will be automatically added to the log of the attacked webserver. The same also happens the ZDEMO Online Demonstration software by KELLERASSELN. Unfortunately, this makes it easy for police or whom else to find out who was involved in the attack. The use of IP hiding with the Tor network makes no sense during an DDoS attack because the requests sent from your computer would first hit the Tor server and slow it down. The only effective method to take part anonymously in a virtual protest using LOIC or another online demonstration software on your computer is to use an encrypted Virtual Private Network, see our VPN help page.

How to use Tor?

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis. Download Tor Browser for Windows (XP, Windows 7,8,10, Vista), Linux or Mac here. No extra configuration needed. Just run the Tor Browser after the installation was completed. Read in the next box how to use of other (not Tor) proxies with Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

How to configure your browser to use a proxy

Configure Mozilla Firefox to use a proxy server:
Use the add-on Foxy Proxy Standard to switch between multiple proxies. Foxy Proxy Standard can be downloaded here. The add-on requires a restart of the Firefox browser.
Configure Internet Explorer to use a proxy server:
Use add-on IE7pro to switch between multiple proxies. Different internet connections do often require completely different proxy server settings and it's a real pain to change them manually. IE7Pro Proxy Switcher lets you manage and switch between multiple proxy configurations quickly and easily. IE7pro can be downloaded here.
Configure Google Chrome to use a proxy server:
Read explanations from Surfshark blog about proxy settings in Google Chrome. Use add-on Proxy Switchy! to switch between multiple proxies. Proxy Switchy! is an advanced proxy manager for Google Chrome, it allows users to manage and switch between multiple proxy profiles quickly and easily. Proxy Switchy! can be downloaded here.
