Now, how do you install Tor?

Download Tor for your operating system on the official website and run it - Torproject.org

If you are using Windows, the Vidalia client and Firefox browser will open (install). In the add-ons bar, you'll see a Tor button that turns Tor on / off in Firefox.

Turn on Tor and go to whatismyipaddress.com to see if it works.
