How to locate and edit torrc

To get Vidalia Tor to perform in the desired manner, exit in a specific geographic location or to do so randomly, you need to edit the configuration file torrc appropriately and toggle the proxy settings of your browser.

You can use any browser with Tor as long as you can tell the browser to connect using Tor. There is an add-in for Firefox called TorButton, this automates the toggling of the networking settings and is not necessary for the operation of Tor.


You can easily locate the torrc file by using the search in the Windows 7 Start menu. It can be edited using Windows Notepad or any other text editor.
