By , you can ensure that your internet traffic is routed through the Anyone network, enhancing your privacy and security.

When a device connects as a client, its traffic is encrypted and directed through a series of relay nodes, similar to the SOCKS proxy configuration. Each relay node only knows the previous and next hop, keeping the full route concealed. This process safeguards your data from end-to-end, ensuring that both your identity and browsing activity remain anonymous.

To set up a client connection

  1. Configure Proxy Settings

    • Input the necessary proxy details (e.g., IP address, port) in your device or application settings as or seen in the . This configuration ensures that your device can route traffic correctly through the network.

  2. Establish the Connection

    • After entering the configuration details, connect your device. The Anyone network will handle the rest, encrypting your traffic and routing it through multiple layers to protect your anonymity.

The Proxy feature is your initial gateway to secure, anonymous browsing, streaming, downloading or various activities through the network. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your online activities remain private and secure while additional connection methods are being developed.

Anonymize and encrypt your communications.

  1. Go to Settings > Advanced > Connection type.

  2. Select Use Custom Proxy.

  3. Enter Socket Address Hostname (e.g., 192.168.1.10 or 10.42.0.1) and Port (9050).

Anonymize and encrypt your streaming activity.

  1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Proxy Settings.

  2. Enter Host (e.g., 192.168.1.10 or 10.42.0.1) and Port (9050).

  2. Select SOCKS 5.

  3. Enter Proxy Host (e.g., 192.168.1.10 or 10.42.0.1) and Proxy Port (9050).

Anonymize and encrypt your downloads.

  1. Go to Tools > Options > Connections

  2. Set Proxy Server Type to SOCKS5

  3. Enter Host (e.g., 192.168.1.10 or 10.42.0.1) and Port (9050).
