Getting Tor Browser from the right place

The first link you should be careful with is the download link for the browser itself.

1Use the official site

Download Tor Browser only from torproject.org. Search ads and file-sharing sites sometimes offer modified copies.

2Check the signature if you can

The Tor Project publishes signatures for each download. Verifying one confirms the file was not altered.

3Install and connect

Open the browser and press Connect. The first connection can take a minute.

4Let it update

Tor Browser updates itself. Accept updates promptly before opening the Tor Watch onion.
