# How to use TOR with Tornado Cash

On-chain confidentiality is ensured by the [Tornado Cash](https://tornado.cash) tool.

However, before and after your transactions are executed, your privacy may not be ensured. That's why we advise you to use TOR when you use Tornado Cash.

Here is a quick and easy tutorial to ensure your anonymity.

### Step **#1 - Install** TOR

First, go there: [https://www.torproject.org/download/](https://www.torproject.org/download/)

Choose the appropriate operator system and click on Download.

Then, run it.

### Step **#2 - Configure** TOR

First, search for `about:config` on your URL navigation bar.
