I asked and you responded:


Step 1: Open up firefox and click on the hamburger menu (three lines) at the top right


Step 2: click on "options" to open the settings

Step 3: scroll down all the way and click on the network settings's settings button


Step 4:

• Select "Manual proxy configuration"
• Set the "SOCKS Host" address to: 127.0.0.1
• Set the "SOCKS Host" Port to: 9979
• Select "SOCKS v5"

When you finish your Connection Settings should look like this:


Step 5: Select "OK"

Step 6: Restart firefox and browse freely, while being on Tor!

NOTES:

• Make sure you have the KORE wallet running, I myself have forgotten to start the KORE wallet before opening firefox.
• You do not need to change any settings in your kore.conf
• I HAVE ONLY TESTED THIS IN WINDOWS, please confirm if it works for you in linux.

Q/A
Q: Is this the Surfs Up browser?!
A: NO! This is just to hold you over until we finalize the implementation of Surfs Up browser.

Q: How can I tell if this is working?
A: there are two ways,

• first you can open your tor.log and look for this line (likely it will show up several times)

• secondly, you can go to whatismyip.com or other sites similar and look at the location and IP that it displays

Q: Does this work with obfs4?
A: This uses the bridge settings of the KORE wallet as it is currently running, so if you have obfs4 configured then yes, this will work.
