The weak point in online privacy is the DNS server used by your system. If your system does not support setting a system network proxy – Tor Tools will use the dconf settings that is present on most Linux systems to set and activate the system network proxy for Tor. It interacts directly with the network settings to set the proxy on/off and also the socks host and port used.
Tor Tools controls the system network proxy. Tor Tools uses obfs4 pluggable transports to enable Tor Bridges and conceal the fact that you are using Tor, but may slow down the connection compared to using ordinary Tor relays. Some governments, ISP’s and websites block all traffic from the Tor network as the exit nodes of the network are publicly available. Tor Tools supports the use of Tor Bridges. Clicking on the location will use OpenStreetMap to plot your IP location (if available). You can click on the IP and request a new identity on the network.
Tor Tools will monitor the status, start / stop the Tor service and display your Tor IP and location (if available).
