Description

This testcase will check whether Tor can communicate with the Tor network and allow Firefox to proxy connections to the Tor SOCKS port.

Setup

  1. Ensure the Package-x-generic-16.pngtor and Package-x-generic-16.pngfirefox packages are installed.
  2. The /etc/tor/torrc configuration file should be the default one included with the package.

How to test

  1. In Firefox, browse to https://check.torproject.org/
  2. sudo systemctl start tor.service
  3. Configure Firefox to connect to SOCKS proxy:
    1. Open the proxy settings: Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Network → Settings
    2. Select Manual proxy configuration
    3. Select SOCKS v5 connection type
    4. Set SOCKS Host as: localhost
    5. Set SOCKS Port as: 9050
  4. Browse to https://check.torproject.org/

Expected Results

  1. The first visit to https://check.torproject.org/ should say:Sorry. You are not using Tor.
  2. After having started tor and configured Firefox, the second visit to https://check.torproject.org/ should say: Congratulations. Your browser is configured to use Tor.
