Install TOR in Ubuntu To Surf The Web Anonymous

TOR is a network that allows you to surf the web anonymous. TOR is available in the Ubuntu repositories (for recent Ubuntu versions), but it this version lacks a lot of features, such as the option to use country-specific exist nodes and more, so to make full use of TOR, it would be a good idea to install the latest version via the TOR Ubuntu / Debian repository. Read about installing and setting up TOR in Ubuntu, here: Install TOR in Ubuntu / Debian (Repository).

And since I’ve mentioned “country-specific exit nodes”, you may be wondering how to use this feature and what’s it’s use? Well, you could use it for let’s say an application that requires you to have a specific IP to use it, like Spotify, Pandora, Google Music and so on. You can set TOR to only use an IP range specific for a country and use one of the above mentioned services just as if you were from that country.
