# 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.

Search for `wasm` and turn `javascript.options.wasm` on true.

Search for `indexedDB` and turn `dom.indexedDB.logging.details` and `dom.indexedDB.logging.enabled` on true

### Step **#3 -** Install Metamask

First, click on `Install Metamask for Firefox`.

The Tornado Cash tool allows you to remain anonymous on-chain. However, if the tool is used without protecting oneself upstream and downstream, there is no point and the anonymity would only be partial. There are practices to avoid this.
### Use a VPN
### Use TOR and/or a VPN
Your internet service provider (ISP) identifies you with an IP address. To prevent third parties from knowing that you are using Tornado.cash, you should consider using TOR and/or a VPN for your transfers. Avoid using free VPNs, they tend to keep or even sell your data. There are several VPNs on the market boasting a "no-log policy".
