TLDR: Want to use Tor without downloading anything? Try it online at browserling.com/tor. I and my team set up a cloud-based version of the Tor browser that runs in a virtual machine so that you can test onion sites straight from your regular browser. No installs. Just click and go!
What is the Tor browser?
The Tor browser is a special web browser that lets you browse the Internet anonymously. It works by sending your traffic through a network of encrypted servers, hiding your real location and IP address. People use it to access blocked websites, protect their privacy, and test their .onion sites on the deep web.
Can I use an online Tor browser on my phone?
Yes! Our online Tor browser works on any device, including smartphones and tablets. Since it runs in the cloud, you don't need to download or install anything. Just open it in your regular web browser via browserling.com/tor and start browsing .onion sites!
Can I use an online Tor browser without creating an account?
Yes! Our online Tor browser works instantly. No signups, no installations. Just visit browserling.com/tor and you can start browsing .onion links right from your regular web browser.
Does an online Tor browser provide the same anonymity as a local Tor browser?
Yes! The online Tor browser connects to the real Tor network just like a locally installed version. The difference is that it runs on a remote server instead of your own device, which adds an extra layer of privacy.
How does an online Tor browser protect me from tracking?
An online Tor browser uses the same privacy features as a normal Tor browser. It blocks scripts, prevents fingerprinting, and isolates cookies between sites. Since it runs in a remote virtual machine, no browsing history or personal data is stored on your device.
Is my activity saved when using an online Tor browser?
No, everything is wiped after you close the session. No history, cookies, or cache are stored, keeping your browsing private.
Can I change my Tor exit node in an online Tor browser?
No, you can't manually select an exit node in the online Tor browser. The Tor network automatically routes your traffic through random relays, including the exit node, to maintain anonymity. If you need a different exit node, restarting the session will give you a new one.
Can I use the online Tor browser to bypass geo-blocks?
Yes! Since the Tor network routes traffic through different countries, you can access websites that might be blocked in your region. However, some sites detect Tor users and might block access or require CAPTCHAs. If that happens, you can try restarting your session to get a new Tor circuit.
Does the online Tor browser hide my real IP address?
Yes, it routes your traffic through the Tor network, hiding your IP from the websites you visit.
How long does an online Tor session last?
Each session lasts as long as you keep it open. Once you close the browser tab, everything resets, and you'll need to start a new session.
Can websites detect that I'm using an online Tor browser?
Yes, websites can still detect that you're using Tor because your traffic is coming from Tor exit nodes. Some websites block Tor users or require CAPTCHAs to verify access. This happens with both online and locally installed Tor browsers.
Can I bookmark websites in the online Tor browser?
No, since the online Tor browser runs in a temporary virtual session, all data, including bookmarks, cookies, and history, gets wiped when you close it. If you need to save links, you'll have to copy them somewhere outside the browser.
