In this article, I’ll be covering how to install and run Tor from a removable flash drive. This allows for greater protection from potential dangers while using Tor. Making Tor portable can also give you greater flexibility on where you use Tor and what you’re using Tor for. Tor can be installed for almost any OS. This article will discuss how to install it mainly for Windows, but it will also instruct you to make sure you have the other installs ready to use just in case the device you want to use Tor on is not Windows. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you’ll have a good understanding of how to install and run Tor from a flash drive, making your Tor experience portable.
Downloading Tor To Flash Drive
First, you’ll want to navigate to the Tor website. Here there will be downloads for all the different OS’s out there. I’d recommend downloading the installs for all of them and installing the one you for your current operating system. I installed the Windows version and put the others onto the flash drive just in case I wanted to use Tor on another OS. Once you have the installs on your flash drive, you’ll want to run the executable depending on the OS you’re currently operating on. This will install the Tor client onto the flash drive, making it able to run on any device that has the OS you installed it on. If you want to run Tor on a different OS, make sure you have the install for that OS on the flash drive. You’ll then want to plug in the flash drive into the new device and run the install on that device.
Running Tor
Once you’ve completed the install, you’ll be able to disconnect the flash drive from your current device. To run Tor on another device, all you have to do is connect the flash drive to the new device, open up the drive, and run Tor. You’ll need to make sure that you run the install for each new OS you use. These installs should be saved on the flash drive no matter what device you use, however, you’ll only be able to run the Tor browser for the OS you currently have running.
