# 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.
